The world economy will grow faster this year than anticipated just a few months ago, with China and India leading a "multispeed" recovery, the IMF says. World output will grow by 3.9pc this year and 4.3pc in 2011, after contracting by 0.8pc in 2009, the IMF says in its January World Economic Outlook (WEO) (see table). In October last year, the IMF predicted global growth of 3.1 pc in 2010 (AGM. 5 October, p2).
