A gloomy U.N. economic forecast points to more sluggish global growth in 2024, but the U.N. chief says wealthy nations could offer a solution.
Global economic growth is projected to slow to 2.4% this year, down from 2.7% in 2023 and 3% before the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the U.N.'s Department of Economic and Social Affairs, or DESA, reported on Thursday.
