Whose fear was, that fear is now
turning into reality. Where the fear of economic crisis and recession has
started deepening in the new year. International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief
Kristalina Georgieva gave a big warning. What has the IMF chief said? What is
going to happen in 2023? Will tell you everything. A big prediction has been
made by the IMF which brought the new year 2023.
The
International Monetary Fund ie IMF chief said that 2023 is going to be a
difficult year for the global economy. Georgieva said that one-third of the
global economy will be in recession in 2023. The year 2023 will be more
difficult than the year 2022 due to weak economic activities in America,
Europe, and China.
Even a country that is not in the grip of a recession will
feel like a recession for millions of people there. But
the question is why so? Has slowed economic activity in the three big economies
the US, the European Union, and China. In October, the IMF changed its outlook
for the global economy in 2023. There was some relief in this.
For this, the
IMF attributed the rising inflation to the Russia-Ukraine war and the increase
in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. Since
then China ended its zero covid policy and started reopening its economy. And
did this at a time when the coronavirus infection has spread rapidly in the
country.
The IMF chief further warned that China, the world's second-largest
economy, will have a difficult start to 2023. China slowed down dramatically in
2022 due to this zero covid policy. For
the first time in 40 years, China's growth is expected to be below the global
economy's average by 2022. This has never happened before.
IMF chief said that
the next few months will be difficult for China and the impact on Chinese
growth will be negative, the impact on the region will be negative, and the
impact on global growth will also be negative. The warnings came amid pressure
on the global economy from the Russia-Ukraine war, rising prices, high-interest
rates, and a new wave of the covid pandemic in China.
In
this, Georgieva has given a positive statement about the American economy. They
said the US economy is isolated and can avoid troubles that are likely to
affect one-third of the world's economy. Georgieva said America can avoid
recession because we see a very strong labor market in America. Talking about
India, we have some relief news from the IMF.
Earlier,
the IMF, while releasing its annual consultation report for India, said that
the Indian economy is growing very strongly in the current financial year. The
report said that the real GDP is estimated to grow at 6.8% and 6.1% from the
financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24 respectively, much better than earlier.
When
asked about the risks concerning India, he said that the risks in India are
mostly coming from external factors. Talking about the IMF is an international
organization consisting of 190 country members that work together to try to
stabilize global economies. IMF's major role is to act as an economic early warning
system.
The whole world is troubled by the covid epidemic in China.
The whole world is facing troubled
by the increasing cases of Corona epidemic in China. The new variant of Corona
has again made life difficult for the people. Thousands of people are dying in
China. Many people are still getting their treatment done in the hospital.
India has also become conscious along with countries around the world.
India
has increased strictness on people coming from China, Japan, Hong Kong, South
Korea, Thailand, and Singapore. China has now started stocking up on raw
materials to deal with any disruption in supply from China due to the Covid-19
pandemic in the consumer durables industry.
Usually,
only one month's stock remains in this process. But now looking at the situation,
companies have started stocking for at least 2 to 3 months. Why has this
situation happened now? Let us understand it in detail. The infection started
increasing after the zero covid policy was withdrawn in China.
China is not
giving correct figures, but experts believe that every day lakhs of new cases
are coming there and thousands of deaths are also taking place. The
new corona variant BF7 is growing very fast and it is much more infected than
the earlier variant. According to health experts, one infected person is
contaminating 16 people.
Now know what is the connection of business with the
new variant of covid. China is the global manufacturing hub. If the situation
worsens there, then the whole world will have to bear the brunt of it. First,
global supply chains may once again be disrupted. Lockdown and strict movement
of goods will be affected.
The little relief from inflation can dominate again
and the business revenue of more people will also start falling again. Also,
understand what is the relationship between the consumer durable industry and
China. Consumer durable products are available in China at a cheaper rate.
Their
manufacturing is done on a large scale in China because these components are
available in China at a cheap rate, then countries all over the world import
these components from China itself. If this situation worsens, then categories
like LED TV panels will be badly affected.
Since about 40 to 45% of AC and LED
components are made in China and from there they are exported all over the
world. On the other hand, the Chinese New Year holidays are going to happen in
China from the third week of January i.e. from 20 January. Due
to the Chinese New Year, the manufacturing plants there are going to remain
closed.
If the plant does not open till February and the condition of covid
worsens, then understand that there will be an outcry. Also, know how the Indian
company will handle such a situation. Godrej Appliances has told that it is
working on a plan to reduce dependence on China for the supply of components.
The same Dixon Technologies believes that the supply chain from China is still fine and their suppliers
have assured them of timely delivery. If there are any ups and downs in the
situation, we will try our best to bear the company.
