IMF World Economic Outlook: What Investors Track

Global Outlook

Why the WEO Matters

The IMF's World Economic Outlook (WEO) compiles global growth analysis, downside risks, and regional updates that investors use to interpret macro conditions.

We track the WEO to understand how growth expectations, inflation dynamics, and financial conditions could affect equities, credit, and risk appetite.

  • Global growth context for multi-asset allocation
  • Risk assessment that informs portfolio stress testing
  • Regional outlooks for geographic diversification
