As seen in the figure above, global economic growth is expected to recover in 2014 and 2015. This will be largely driven by improving economic activity in the worlds advanced economies following several years of sluggish activity. Inflation
-
Weak demand-side pressures and easing commodity prices allowed inflation to decelerate to an average of 3.7% in 2013. Following this reduction, improving demand and less favorable bass effects will cause inflation to remain stable in 2014. Hereafter, current indicators suggest inflation will increase to 3.8% in 2015, before slipping back to 3.7% in 2016.
