🔯What is the World Economic Outlook about?
The World Economic Outlook (WEO) is an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report providing output, inflation, employment, fiscal balances, and debt statistics for member countries.
The report forecasts the global growth, summarizes the state of global economy and highlights the most important developments.
The IMF publishes the WEO report twice a year (April and October) based on data obtained from its consultations with member countries' governments.
The IMF also publishes two additional and less comprehensive WEO updates a year, each three months after the main WEO report.
✅What is the model used by IMF?
Macroeconomic model – The IMF used a macroeconomic model based on Platzer and Peruffo (2022) to analyse the impact of different forces on the world economy.
This includes foreign developments affecting domestic interest rates through net international capital flows.
8 economies – The model represents 8 major global economies, including the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, and Brazil.
The model is calibrated to reflect demographic developments, productivity trends, retirement age, and other factors.
Global GDP – These are the five largest advanced economies and the three largest emerging market and developing economies, which cover some 70% of global GDP.
✅What are the findings of the latest report?
Join 🔜 @economyupsc
The baseline forecast is for growth to fall from 3.4% in 2022 to 2.8% in 2023, before settling at 3.0% in 2024.
Advanced economies are expected to see an especially pronounced growth slowdown, from 2.7% in 2022 to 1.3% in 2023.
In a plausible alternative scenario with further financial sector stress, global growth declines to about 2.5% in 2023 with advanced economy growth falling below 1%.
Global headline inflation in the baseline is set to fall from 8.7% in 2022 to 7.0% in 2023 on the back of lower commodity prices but underlying (core) inflation is likely to decline more slowly.
Inflation’s return to target is unlikely before 2025 in most cases.

National Mission on Edible Oils
Approved by Union Cabinet Yesterday. The Mission will be implemented over a seven-year period, from 2024-25 to 2030-31, with a financial outlay of Rs 10,103 crore. The mission focuses on
1. Enhancing the production of key primary oilseed crops such as Rapeseed-Mustard, Groundnut, Soybean, Sunflower, and Sesamum
2. Increasing collection and extraction efficiency from secondary sources like Cottonseed, Rice Bran, and Tree Borne Oils
3. Targets to increase domestic edible oil production to 25.45 million tonnes by 2030-31 meeting around 72% of our projected domestic requirement. This will be achieved by promoting adoption of high-yielding high oil content seed varieties, extending cultivation into rice fallow areas, and promoting intercropping.
4. Over 600 Value Chain Clusters will be developed across 347 unique districts which will be managed by value chain partners such as FPOs, cooperatives, and public or private entities
5. The Mission will harness ongoing development of high-quality seeds by using cutting-edge global technologies such as genome editing.
6. The Mission aims to significantly enhance domestic oilseed production, advancing the goal of Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in edible oils, thereby reducing import dependency and conserving valuable foreign exchange while boosting farmers' incomes.
7. It will also accrue significant environmental benefits in the form of low water usage and improved soil health and making productive use of crop fallow areas.
Note: Presently the country is heavily reliant on imports which account for 57% of its domestic demand for edible oils.

India has become a member of the Minerals Security Finance Network (MSFN) which involves 14 countries and European Union. MSFN is a US led initiative to strengthen cooperation among members to secure supply chain for critical minerals (cobalt, nickel, lithium and rare earth minerals) . This is required for our clean energy transition goals and electronics and semiconductor manufacturing because till now the supply chain of critical minerals are mostly located in China.
