As per a report by World Bank, growth in global economy in 2014 is expected to improve from 2.4% last year to 3.2% and retain the pace over the next two years. The gain in momentum of advanced economies is expected to support stronger growth in developing countries as per the report. The World Bank expects the developing economies to grow at a moderate pace of 5.3%. While China and India are expected to see stronger growth, however, concerns on their macroeconomic woes remain. India has struggled with inflation and currency depreciation whereas China has been caught in a vulnerable banking sector and overinvestment. The bank noted that the negative effect of taper is likely to be offset by stronger growth in high-income countries.
