IMF upgrades world economic outlook but points to risks such as ship attacks in the Red Sea. The IMF released its latest outlook for the global economy on the 30th.

As a result, the economic growth rate for this year has been revised upward by 0.2 points from October last year to 3.1%. The main reasons for this are the fact that the US economy is stronger than expected, even with high interest rates, and the Chinese government's fiscal support to expand domestic demand.
