Slow growth and the cost of debt: the World Bank's Chief Economist on the global outlook

"The global economy - it's a complicated picture, in the sense that it's doing better than we expected just six months ago but it's doing much worse than what it was doing six years ago."

World Bank Chief Economist Indermit Gill gives his assessment of the 'glass half-full' global economy.

And as the World Economic Forum publishes the latest edition of its Chief Economists Outlook, the Forum's Head of Economic Growth, Revival and Transformation, Aengus Collins, talks us through the highlights.
