been social monetary fund is predicting a bleak future for the global economy as the war you crate in the sky. hi consumer prices and rising interest rates take their toll all the live at i m f. headquarters with our correspondent alan fisher in just a moment of 1st, let's hear from the chief economist of the international monetary fund. but 3rd of the global economy expected the contract this year, or next, the 3 largest economies, the united states, china, and the your area will continue to stall. in short, the worst is yet to come. and for many people, 2023 will feel like a recession. my ancestor joins us now from washington. decent island welburn. can you paint a picture for us of just how bad this last year's been we'll all these delegates coming up here to the international monetary fund. annual meeting are getting the message. yeah, it's bad,
7:03 pm
but it's going to get worse. and it is just a confluence of events, all these things coming together at the same time. first of all, you have the idea of political instability and you're seeing that in places like lebanon, which is cause the banking crisis. and shall lanka where there's political instability on top of a crushing debt that has to be repaid. then you're talking about covert and all the issues there, zambia, the 1st country to default from some of the loans that go after cove it and the supply chain in china, essentially being impacted by very strict lot don't. and then add to that you have climate challenges in places like pakistan and here in the united states and then the war in russia. it just seems to be one thing after another. the normally, when people talk about macroeconomic problems saying they'll be retraction here and there won't be growth there. a lot of people think, well, how is that impacting me? but everyone across the world seems to be feeling the pinch. if it's going to the food store to feed their children, if it's trying to heat their home,
7:04 pm
and that'll be a problem in europe this, this winter, as temperatures begin to drop, the international monetary funder saying, look, things might be bad in 2022, but the could be even worse and 2023 because of a realignment of the way that energy is traded on the global scale. so how are things shaping up? well, it comes to growth, that's how you measure, whether an account, whether or not economy is doing well. and large growth tends to suggest that people are getting more money that are more jobs, and there are more economic opportunities. but the i m f is saying in the coming year, that's not going to be great. if you look at what happened in 2021, the growth globally was 6 percent in 2022. it's going to be 3.2 percent. so most half. and then in 2023 it's going to be just $2.00. and as the i m f says it will feel like a recession as for inflation, that's the, that's really what reflects when prices are starting to rise in a lot of the time. wages don't keep pat, keep track with that. so how is that going to impact over the coming year or so
7:05 pm
while the international moncrief. one said that inflation in 2021 was 4.7 percent in 20. 22. it's 8.7 percent and in 2023. while things will be slightly better, it will be 6.5 percent, but that inflation rate of $8.00 is going to take a long time to come down. so that means that a lot of people will be feeling the pinch well into 2023. and as the i m f has said, a 3rd of the global economies are going to see negative growth or 2 quarters that is normally the indication of a recession. so there is no bright spot in all of this dis, confluence of events coming together and punishing the people who feel it. morse. so it's really up to the i. m. f. international bankers and finance ministers. to try and float away out of this. they're doing it face to face here for the 1st time in 3 years, but they've also got to realize that with all of these things coming together, it can't simply be businesses normal and fish alarm for us in washington,
7:06 pm
d. c. thank you for that. but for labor though, explains how much influence the i m f, has the international monetary fund, an institution that promotes global economic stability, and perhaps a lender of last resort, or a some say, an outdated organization whose policies damage the social and cultural fabric of a country. let's take a closer look. the i m. f was founded in 1944 at bretton woods in the united states . since then, its membership has grown from 44 countries to a 190. the i m f says it monitors economic health of member countries and provide loans for governments in economic distress 2 years ago at the height of the covey. 19 pandemic. more than a 100 nations requested bailouts on the i'm f. his i correspondent alan fisher reporting on those loans for his headquarters here in washington. the international monetary fund has put together a 9 trillion dollar port to help countries deal with the covert crisis. most of
7:07 pm
that money has come from the g. 20 the world richest nations, and more than 100 countries have asked for help. now this is the i mass map of where money was distributed among those helped $2700000000.00 to egypt. 411000000 to ethiopia. 361000000 to bosnia herzegovina. more recently, sri lanka received $2900000000.00 after his economy faced collapse. it ran out of money for food medicine, cooking, gas and fuel. but critics of the, i may say it is outdated and ineffective of the 89 developing countries that received i m f. loans between 19651995 more than half where no better off afterwards. in fact, 32 were poor. other critics question whether many nations which borrow money from the i m f,
7:08 pm
have the ability to repeat yourself addition to the ins and some sort of longer term ah, where program is likely going to have to step in to help countries through that. now the i m f is downgrading it's forecast of 2.9 percent global growth in 2023. it says that because of the increasing risk of recession and financial instability, far from being transitory as result, inflation is much more persistent, high energy and foot prices tight, the financial conditions, lingering supply, disruptions, decelerate growth, all of the world's largest economy economy. so now slowing down for better or for worse, many more governments may need to turn to the i m f in the coming months and years . the us says it's reevaluating its relationship with red off the founding that

7:13 pm
but played one in cut off time. and we know the turkish leaders have always been trying to create an atmosphere of dialogue, or for dialogue between russia and the west. and russia, of course, considers that this, this fight. and this struggle is not between russia and ukraine. it is between russia and the west. so any negotiations, any negotiations between russia and the western leaders, is welcome for the russians because they don't even recognize the importance or the utility of talking directly to the ukrainian leadership. a wave of russian strikes that kills 19 people. monday. more strikes having reported in the past. how's in the viv ends. upper region. the governor in the southeast region says a school was among the buildings attacked on tuesday morning. one person was killed when rockets hit a car dealership. moscow has been shutting the region intensely. i said, i head on al jazeera, we speak to the columbia in competing at the street. the child won't come there and
