Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks
- The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.
- IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.
- While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.
- Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.
- Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.
- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
- The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

Quick Glance: Macklem Sees Limited Impact of Canada Budget on Fiscal Direction
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent budget, which balanced increased spending with a capital gains tax hike and improved revenue forecasts, did not significantly contribute to inflationary pressures.
- Macklem informed reporters on Friday that the budget did not alter the government's fiscal trajectory significantly compared to the November fiscal update. It was highlighted that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland upheld her commitment regarding deficit maintenance and shortfall reduction goals for the future.
- The Governor emphasized the continued adherence of the budget to these guidelines, which was deemed beneficial. He refrained from delving into specific details of budget measures, emphasizing the responsibility of lawmakers to deliberate on the government's fiscal plan.
- Macklem expressed that the latest three inflation indicators showed a sustained downward trend, with the bank awaiting confirmation that this trend will persist to ensure the progress towards price stability is maintained.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is putting pressure on the provinces to remove barriers in housing construction, urging them to freeze municipal development costs and allow up to four units on each property.
- Trudeau announced that his government will allocate new infrastructure funds of C$5 billion ($3.7 billion) to the provinces, provided they sign an agreement by January 1, 2025, to implement specific reforms for increased housing supply.

Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.
- Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.
- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.
