Global growth will slow and fall well below the historical average of 3.8%. According to the forecasts of the Washington-based organization, it will barely reach 2.8% at the end of 2029.

This drop threatens to reverse the improvements of the previous decade in living standards, particularly in the poorest regions. Guyana will be the State with the greatest rebound thanks to oil fields, while Europe will be left behind. The countries that will grow the most in the next seven years will be those that are developing, with Guyana in the lead, which will double its GDP level in 2029 compared to a year ago, according to the Fund's projections. For decades, this former British colony has gone unnoticed by everyone; until 2015, it was the second poorest country in South America, but now its economy is at its highest level in 30 years.
