Citi economists see growth slowing next year as restrictive monetary policy increasingly bites. But the combination of slower growth and tighter policy should finally push inflation back to target, they say.
That prediction of slower growth next year stands in contrast to recent weeks when Citi Research analysts have revised their forecasts for the U.S. and China and currently expect growth in both countries to be stronger than previously forecast for this year.
Their projection for global growth this year now stands at 2.5%, up from 2.3% in September and more than half a percentage point higher than anticipated when the year began—a performance that, while “hardly gangbusters,” has been an upside surprise.
