The UK saw its growth expectations trimmed, down from 2.2 per cent to 1.9 per cent, with the IMF taking a pessimistic outlook on the fortunes of advanced economies.

Despite all the headlines, the IMF actually revised up its forecasts for growth in China – which it thinks will come in at the bottom end of the government's target range of between 6.5 and seven per cent in 2016.

India looks set to be the start performer, however, with GDP surging by 7.5 per cent both this year and next.
