"Downplaying the worst start to the year on record in US equity markets, the fund thinks financial markets are “overreacting” and expects rich and poor countries alike to enjoy faster growth rates in 2016 than in 2015...Many financial market participants are much more downbeat about China’s prospects but Maurice Obstfeld, IMF chief economist, told the FT the fund was “sticking to its guns”.

I will keep this quote in the expectation that it will come in useful over the next couple of years...serving to remind me that whatever solutions the IMF unveils to get us out of the unfolding crash it is currently denying...are likely to be as 'crap' as its current grasp on reality.
