In a statement made last Sunday, the World Bank predicted that a possible correction in trade growth stemming from post-crisis lows might be able to help strengthen the international economy and enable a seven-year high for next year’s economic growth status. However, the bank also stressed that there are certain threats to the emerging markets niche, including a fast-expanding wealth economy, which could derail the predicted growth rate for the economy. The financial institution said that international economic growth could possibly reach 2.9% in 2018 as compared to this year’s mere 2.7%. Price stability in commodity prices has helped emerging markets out of its two-year slump, while several countries around the world are finally showing signs of improvement following a large-scale financial crisis.
