Global Economic Outlook Report 2018: Amidst Seismic Events Such as Brexit and Oil Production Cuts, What is the Outlook for the World Economy? – ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global
Economic Outlook, 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The global economic outlook section of this study covers topics in
regards to GDP growth, inflation, trade, investment, and oil production,
while the region economic outlook section covers topics in regards to
GDP growth and key economic developments.

Amidst seismic events such as Brexit and oil production cuts, what is
the outlook for the world economy in 2018? How will monetary policy
tightening and landmark tax reforms influence the growth trajectory of
key advanced and emerging market economies? This study answers these
questions and more by evaluating the global and regional economic
outlook across geographies.

World GDP growth is estimated to have risen to 3.6% in 2017 and is
expected to further strengthen to 3.7% in 2018, with higher growth
expected across emerging markets and developing economies. In regards to
emerging market giants, China is expected to witness a marginal growth
slowdown in 2018 with the deepening of structural reforms; India's
growth is expected to rise in 2018-19. Advanced economies are expected
to maintain the same growth level as in 2017, with an expected pick-up
in growth across advanced economies such as the United States, France,
and Japan.

Landmark tax reforms were one of the top economic trends shaping the
global economy in 2017, with India's introduction of a goods and
services tax (GST), and the United States' approval of a tax reform
bill. The significant slash in the US corporate tax rate is expected to
help drive economic growth as well as manufacturing reshoring.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia also introduced value-added tax (VAT) in
January 2018; other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are only
expected to do so by 2019. The inflationary impact of VAT in the UAE and
Saudi Arabia is expected to be limited, with the new tax helping to
boost and diversify government revenue.

Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies have
been able to drive oil prices higher to an extent as a result of agreed
production cuts. While the production cuts were set to expire in March
2018, the participating countries recently decided to extend to
effective period for the cuts till 2018 end. This decision should help
crude oil prices further strengthen in 2018, although higher US
production stands to thwart significant price gains.
