The document provides an overview and analysis of the global economy from the perspective of Alan Levenson, Chief U.S. Economist. It notes that global growth quickened in mid-2016 but post-crisis headwinds could limit further recovery. Developed markets are experiencing slower growth than emerging markets. U.S. expansion still has potential but recession risk is low in the near term. Debt levels remain high globally but are decreasing in some developed nations and increasing in others. Inflation is below central bank targets in most nations. Monetary policies continue to diverge between nations as some central banks further reduce rates while others consider reducing stimulus. Political risks remain in key countries and regions in 2017.

Global Outlook Summary
As of October 28, 2016
 Growth improving in second half of 2016 as impact of commodity
price plunge fades
 Slight improvement in 2017 on rebound in U.S., Canada, Brazil,
and Russia, but deleveraging and restructuring headwinds persist,
particularly in EM
 Relative stability in currencies after 2014‒2015 rout fosters
disinflation in EM, contributes to modest U.S. inflation lift
 Fed normalization creep to continue, while European Central
Bank (ECB) and Bank of Japan (BoJ) rethink quantitative
easing (QE); EM central bank outlooks mixed, though easing
predominates as inflation falls
