Emerging Market Growth Forecasts Revised Downward (2011-2014) | IMF Data #1384229 (License: Personal Use)

This grouped bar chart visualizes IMF staff estimates of GDP growth forecasts across three categories-advanced economies, emerging & developing economies, and the world-spanning six forecast rounds from Fall 2011 to Spring 2014. Each group shows a clear downward trend, especially pronounced in emerging markets, where forecasts dropped from ~7% to ~4.5%. The data reflects how persistent underperformance triggered successive revisions to medium-term outlooks.

Used in economic analysis articles, policy briefs, or IMF reports to illustrate deteriorating growth expectations during the post-2010 recovery phase; targets economists, investors, and policymakers seeking historical context on forecast reliability and emerging market volatility.
