China estimated to account for 28% of global economic growth in 2024 [Video]

A joint conference on the World Economic Outlook 2024 was held in Beijing on November 1. In an interview with CGTN at the conference, Steven Alan Barnett, International Monetary Fund (IMF) senior resident representative in China, said China is estimated to be the largest contributor to global growth this year, accounting for approximately 28 percent of global economic growth. The IMF predicts that global growth is expected to be steady at 3.2 percent in 2024 and remain at that level in 2025, and “we can do better” by strengthening international cooperation.
