Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, Minister of Finance, on Thursday indicated that the global economy is expected to witness some improvement in growth in 2017 in the medium term after a lackluster performance in 2016.
He said the January 2017 update of the International Monitory Fund's World Economic Outlook (WEO) projects a global growth of 3.1 per cent in 2016; this is expected to improve marginally to 3.4 per cent in 2017 and further to 3.6 in 2018.
