The US has powered global growth amid divergent results around the world, and with inflation cooling, central banks have either cut interest rates or signaled their intention to loosen policy. Still, policymakers at the Federal Reserve and elsewhere remain wary of risks to the outlook. Elections in the US, UK, European Union, India and France could set the stage for new policy paths in major economies.
