What Will Move the Global Economy in 2024?If the global economy could be summarized in a single word, perhaps it would be unsteady.
According to the International Monetary Fund, the global economy is expected to grow by less than 3 percent in 2024—well below the historical average.

At Economic Outlook Chicago 2024, Booth experts Randall S. Kroszner, Yueran Ma, and Raghuram Rajan came together to discuss current economic and political complications, as well as how those complications could potentially impact on the United States and broader global economy in the year ahead.
