BENGALURU - A significant global upturn will remain elusive this year as many economies still face an array of daunting risks, despite improved sentiment from an initial U.S.-China trade deal and ebullience in financial markets, Reuters polls showed.
When asked what is more likely for developed and emerging market economies this year, more than three-quarters of nearly 400 economists said “about the same as last year”, in terms of growth rates. “In the near-term, it has certainly removed some downside risks and given sentiment a little bit of a lift,” said Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. macro strategist at TD Securities.
