Business, Tientip Subhanij, Published on 26/10/2012
» Each quarter, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) assesses the global economy in its World Economic Outlook report.

Personally, I did not achieve many of the goals I set out earlier. Socially, I did not get to spend enough quality time with friends or family. Globally, the world is also ending the year on a disappointing note, with lower-than-expected growth and a painfully slow recovery.
