“Global growth in 2014was amodest 3.4%, reflecting a pickup in growth inadvanced economies relative to the previous year and a slowdown in emerging market and developing economies.

Global growth is projected to reach 3.5% and 3.8% in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Growth is projected to be stronger in 2015 relative to 2014 in advanced economies, but weaker in emerging markets.

Inflationhasdeclinedinadvancedeconomies,reflectingthedeclineinoilprices,and a weakening of demand in a number of countries already experiencing below-targetinflation,suchastheEuroAreaandJapan.

With regard to emerging markets, lower prices for oil and other commodities (including food, which has a larger weight in the consumer price index of emerging market and developing economies) have generally contributed to reductions in inflation,withthenotableexceptionofcountriessufferingsizableexchangeratedepreciations, such as Russia.

Economic ReviewFirst Quarter 2015 - July 2015

Oil prices have declined by about 45% since September 2014. A variety of factors have played a part: weaker-than-expected global activity; weaker demand for oil, given activity; and greater supply. Unexpected demand weakness in some major economies, in particular emerging market economies, has clearly played a role in the oil price decrease. ’’ 1
