"Things continue at strong levels in 2018", he said. On the other hand, the projection for China is 6.6 and 6.4 percent in the two years respectively.

In its latest World Economic Outlook released on Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund says the global upswing that began in mid-2016 has become broader and stronger, led by faster growth in the Euro area, Japan, China and the US.

But IMF chief economist Maurice Obstfeld said those effects will fade quickly, causing growth to slow in subsequent years.

China has since announced a series of retaliatory measures, while Trump has continually demanded that Beijing act to reduce its trade surplus with the United States.

Meanwhile, the National Bank of Ukraine left its inflation growth forecast unchanged. Underscoring diminished growth momentum, earnings expectations have peaked. Ramaphosa has promised to revive the economy and crack down on government corruption.

The IMF outlook is a reality check for finance ministers and central bankers from its 189 member countries as they gather this week in Washington for the fund's annual spring meetings.

He said Donald Trump's tax cuts would suck imports into the U.S. and increase the size of the trade deficit 2019 by $150bn - a trend that could exacerbate trade tensions. Financial markets have been choppy this year, with US stocks down slightly after a strong performance in 2017.

He attributes the rosier USA outlook to federal tax cuts, a massive US$300 billion spending package, and the possibility of an additional spending or infrastructure bill. Past year the fund said China's credit growth was on a "dangerous trajectory".

With growth picking up after falling sharply in the second quarter of 2017 due to "one-off factors", India in 2018 and 2019 would re-emerge as one of the fastest growing major economies, it said. However, the forecast for the next year worsened - down to 3.3 percent.

China will grow 6.6% this year and 6.4% in 2019, the fund said.

The IMF made only modest changes to its forecasts for the UK.

'All countries have room for structural reforms and fiscal policies that raise productivity and enhance inclusiveness, ' the report said.

International Monetary Fund also left its outlook for Japan flat, predicting the nation will expand at a 1.2% pace this year and 0.9% in 2019.

The fund cut its forecast for Canada to 2.1% this year, down 0.2 point from three months ago.
