AMNC24 - What to Expect from Future Growth
The prospects for global growth have been steadily improving this year, with the IMF projecting 3.2% growth in 2024 and 41% of chief economists having upgraded their forecasts in recent months.

What and where will the main drivers of growth derive from in the coming years?
