IMF upgrades growth forecast for the Netherlands

The International Monetary Fund raised its forecast for Dutch economic growth this year, saying the economy is likely to grow significantly faster than previously expected. It also increased its forecasts for Germany and the global economy.

According to IMF chief economist Silvana Tenreyro, the global economy has shown resilience after energy markets were heavily disrupted by the outbreak of the war against Iran earlier this year.
