Bank spring meetings, which could lead that kicked off on monday in washington. Our North America correspondent is there and has a preview of those meetings. High inflation continues to plague countries around the world. Central bankers are raising Interest Rates to try and slow down those price increases. As a result however, we have some of the weakest Growth Projections by the International Monetary fund since the 1990s. With the Worlds Finance Ministers and central bankers all meeting in washington this week the increasingly fragile Global Economy will certainly be the focus along with ways for countries to try and mitigate some of the negative impacts of those Interest Rate rises. The high inflation however is already having an impact on poorer countries, pushing them further into financial distress, given the uncertain Global Economic outlook the imf believes many more countries will be looking to the imf for help. Reporting outside the world bank and imf building. For more we can speak now to don lipski, hes a researcher of the National Bureau of International Research and also in washington for those meetings. The real question is about the persistence of him placing. The pessimist think that Central Banks and advanced economies are going to have to produce the serious risk of a recession in order to meet their inflation targets. Inflation optimists think that it will be more benign and a better outlook, perhaps better even than the imf and world bank are looking for. But if inflation is the key there is little reason to think we are looking towards a boom. What is your sense of how Central Banks particular Us Central Bank managing inflation . Given the upheaval we seen in Financial Markets with regards to this. Certainly that is the second theme along with the outlook for the key economies is the issue of Financial Stability obviously, thats a key importance to the Federal Reserve and other Central Banks. Right now we are in a situation which it is clear Economy Growth is slowing in key economies was of it is it is clear that inflation is starting to wane. How much more is going to be needed by Central Bank Action and whether that rate creates robust Financial Stability will be one of the central debating points here in washington. I dont think there will be big conclusions drawn but this will be a hot topic. What else do you think investors might be looking for to come out of this meeting in terms of reassurance . There are three other key points that they are going to be addressed in addition to the obvious ones about growth, inflation and Financial Stability. And that is dealing with sovereign debt. As you correspondent mentoring, the imf expects many more cases of countries with Debt Distress in the coming months. In a situation in which there is no well functioning International System to deal with that restructuring of debtor countries. There is going to be a real effort here in washington to try to make progress toward some kind of solution and that means bringing together more than anything private sector, debtor countries and the lending countries and especially between the advanced economies in china. Two other points of importance, the debate about climate and Climate Finance is extremely important and will be addressed very directly here in washington. The United States and other advanced economies have charged the world bank and other Multilateral Development banks with developing a much more aggressive stance towards Climate Finance. We will turn to tech now. Shipments of computers dropped by him as a third this year as fears of economic recession starts to bite.

Looking at the top five pcs and the Research Tell Us . Looking at the top five pcs and found | at the top five pcs and found in over all in the first three months this year 57 Million Computers fewer wood but compared to the same time last year. Thats a drop of almost 30 that you mention. All the companies are a double digit drop. The worst affected was apple. They experience a a0 vac percent drop in the computer and also lost their market share. As you can imagine one of the absolute darlings of the pandemic, we spoke about a time and time again for the people being forced to stay at home, people being forced to work from home. That means they ordered up nice new computers ordered up nice new computers or laptops to work with. Many say the numbers we work with our perhaps a sign of the new normal. We cant continue to see the demand during the pandemic. For many they ordered a fresh computer in 2021, those computers are still relatively new so they dont necessarily need them now. The other aspect is the week Economic Growth forecast for the people are fearful about a recession coming and they are struggling to pay their home loans because of the high Interest Rate, by a shiny new laptop is a necessary copy of the agenda. That means apple will potentially be hit harder as we are seeing compared to others like lenovo. Lenovo may be a need where apple may be a want. They final reason is inventory, because they were so popular during the pandemic we saw stores around the world buying up laptops for that now theyre trying to sell them to get rid of them. We will know more when apple releases its results next month. � , month. Im sure you will be covering month. Im sure you will be covering that month. Im sure you will be covering that for month.

In other stories the leaders of Latin America and asian economies are said to me for that the brazilian president is beginning his state visit to china on tuesday. President lula was meant to be in china two weeks ago but that trip was postponed due to mild pneumonia. There are expectations he was stick to the original agenda which includes the signing of some 20 agreements. China is brazils largest trading partner. Despite concerns weve been talking about with regard to the Global Economy something that asia will stand out as a bright spot for the pets according to the Macroeconomic Research office. It expects the group of Asian Countries along with china, japan and south korea to collectively see Economic Growth to a a. 6 this year. That would outpace the imf forecast for the according to anthony tan part of the optimism was different by domestic demand as economies fully reopen. Domestic demand as economies fully ream fully reopen. Indeed we are optimistic fully reopen. Indeed we are optimistic of fully reopen. Indeed we are optimistic of their fully reopen. Indeed we are optimistic of their growth. Optimistic of their Growth Outlook for asia. There are a couple of considerations, three i can give you some of the driving factors. One, we do see that the robust growth in the region will be anchored by robust domestic demand benefiting from cooler economic reopening. In particular we look at private consumption. Areas respected to remain resilient. Many driven by pent up demand. And this notion of Revenge Spending. And a presumption of the late investment were supported by private investment here. Which countries you private investment here. Which countries you see private investment here. Which countries you see as private investment here. Which countries you see as the countries you see as the standouts in the bright spot area . , standouts in the bright spot area . ,. , ,. Area . China, we are optimistic ofthe area . China, we are optimistic of the growth area . China, we are optimistic of the Growth Forecast area . China, we are optimistic of the Growth Forecast of area . China, we are optimistic of the Growth Forecast of 5. 5 | of the Growth Forecast of 5. 5 this year, really achievable. Partly because of the recovery reopening story, which everyone knows its earlier than expected. We do expect this huge drawdown of excess savings resulting in pent up demand. And spending that will really drive forward the growth in china for this year. The chinese china for this year. The chinese economy china for this year. The chinese economy also l china for this year. The chinese economy also depends on strong exports to the rest of the world. If weve got a situation where Global Growth to eight growth is slowing, but using that impact outlook for china and subsequently the rest of asia . , of asia . Certainly with the slowin of asia . Certainly with the slowing growth of asia . Certainly with the Slowing Growth Will Of Asia . Certainly with the | slowing growth will growth of asia . Certainly with the slowing growth will growth you look at the us and europe, there are headwinds. We are optimistic because of the opening up of the economies and fuller economic reopening, domestic story will be the key driver if you look at china alone the magnitude of excess savings are 20 Trillion Rmb and 22 alone. This sort of Revenge Spending and pent up demand will re drive the other part of the equation, not so much on the equation, not so much on the external side because we know there are headwinds. But within the region for over the past couple of years the region has become more resilient in terms of sourcing, the demand within itself. We know trade in export here. Within itself. We know trade in exoort here export here. Talking about the O Timism Export here. Talking about the optimism in export here. Talking about the optimism in some export here. Talking about the optimism in some parts export here. Talking about the optimism in some parts of export here. Talking about the i optimism in some parts of asia, particularly given the fact that domestic demand is helping to drive up Economic Growth. For now that is it from us.
