IMF cuts global growth forecast

The International Monetary Fund expects global economic growth to slow to 3.6% this year.

The International Monetary Fund expects global economic growth to slow to 3.6% this year. The forecast shaves almost a percentage point of growth from its forecast from before the war in Ukraine, and we get analysis from the 主播大秀's economics editor Faisal Islam.
Also in the programme, as the streaming service Netflix announces its quarterly results, we ask entertainment journalist Caroline Frost what challenges the company is facing.
The 主播大秀's Theo Leggett reports from France on the country's post-pandemic economic recovery, ahead of this weekend's second round of the presidential election.
We look at why some people decide to anglicise their name in order to 鈥渇it in鈥 in the workplace with the 主播大秀's Noor Nanji.
Plus, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare considers how the Ukraine crisis affects the way businesses engage with the political sphere.
