Instead of predicting 3.2% growth in 2016, the IMF's World Economic Outlook (WEO) now expects only 3.1%... "The real effects of Brexit will play out gradually over time, adding elements of economic and political uncertainty that could be resolved only after many months.

"This overlay of extra uncertainty, in turn, may open the door to an amplified response of financial markets to negative shocks."

The IMF has produced two other set of predictions, a "moderately worse" one, and another that is "much worse", depending on how hard the UK finds it to re-establish trading relations with the EU and the rest of the world.

The "much worse" scenario would see global growth slow to 2.8% this year and next.''
