The International Monetary Fund, the International Monetary Fund, has formulated global adverse growth with the World Economic Outlook Report.

We set the world economic growth rate to -3% this year, which is a whopping 6.3 percentage point lower than what was suggested in January.

It is predicted that the world economy will face the worst in 90 years after the Great Depression with Corona 19.

We forecast that the world economy will grow by 5.8% next year, but we also have a scenario that if the Corona19 defense is prolonged, this year's growth rate could drop 3% more points, and if the worst case recurring next year will drop by 8% more.

[Other Gopinath / IMF Chief Economist: You should respond to the crisis by slowing the increase in Corona19 through containment measures. Only then can economic activity be resumed.]

The economic growth rate in the United States was set at -5.9% this year, and the unemployment rate is expected to soar to double-digit 10.4%.

China and India projected to grow by 1.2% and 1.9%, respectively, but they predicted that the growth rate of last year would not be large.

We set the forecast for our growth rate at -1.2% and Japan at -5.2%.
