Newfound weaknesses in North America are adding a sense of "disquiet" to the global economic outlook, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The IMF cut its forecast for US growth by 0.6% this year and 0.3% next year in its most recent report on global economic outlook, citing the Federal Reserve's lack of interest rate movement as a concern.
But the bad news doesn’t stop with America—weakness in the US is impacting the rest of North America and Canadian growth was trimmed by 0.2% this year while foreseeable growth in Mexico was dropped by 0.4% this year and 0.3% next year, MarketWatch reports.
The IMF remains steady when it comes to its projections for the global economy, maintaining its 3.1% growth forecast for 2016. [MW]
