These factors are critical to continued global growth, says Morgan Stanley

SINGAPORE (Dec 19): Morgan Stanley is in the view that the ongoing global economic cycle will stay stronger for longer, on the back of a pick-up in investment growth, a gradual rise in core inflation, steady removal of monetary accommodation, contained financial stability risks in the US, and a moderate slowdown in China.

In the latest edition of Morgan Stanley Research’s Sunday Start series, Chetan Ahya, Global Co-Head of Economics and Chief Asia Economist, Economist, expresses confidence in a number of critical factors which he believes will evolve in a benign fashion going in to 2018.

In the economist’s base case, he expects global investment growth to accelerate meaningfully into 2018 to see global GDP growth rise further above trend.
