IMF Sees U.S. Growth Accelerating, Europe Growth ‘Inadequate’ 2014-07-06 06:27:53.622 GMT
By Mark Deen July 6 (Bloomberg) -- IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde says the Washington-based fund will announce ‘slight’ changes to its growth forecasts this month compared with those published in April. She speaks in Aix-en-Provence, France. * In the U.S. “we expect a significant rebound,” Lagarde says. Risks to growth in the U.S. include the Fed’s ability to taper in an “orderly” way and the Treasury’s ability to put in place a medium-term budget framework, she added. * Growth in the euro area remains “inadequate,” Lagarde says. Lagarde says low inflation is a threat to the economic situation in the euro area. Lagarde welcomes the ECB’s recent monteary easing. * Emerging market economies in Asia should avoid a hard landing, Lagarde says.
