2000 – 2010 – Rise of Developing and Emerging Economies

At exchange rates, the global economic output expanded by US$32.0 trillion from 2000 to 2010. At purchasing power parity, the global economic output expanded by US$39.1 trillion from 2000 to 2010.

IMF's economic outlook for 2010 noted that banks faced a "wall" of maturing debt, which presents important risks for the normalization of credit conditions. There has been little progress in lengthening the maturity of their funding and, as a result, over $4 trillion in debt is due to be refinanced in the next 2 years.[1] `

While there have been some encouraging signs of economic recovery, especially in the United States, the global economic growth seems to be losing momentum. According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook report published in April 2012, "global growth is projected to drop from about 4 percent in 2011 to about 3½ percent in 2012 because of weak activity during the second half of 2011 and the first half of 2012."[2]
