US Elections 2024: US Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy offers drinks at rally

From policymakers to the general public, everyone is hoping for a stable and growing economy in 2024.&nbsp;

The world has been in bad shape since 2020. To begin with, Covid-19 pandemic-related restrictions disrupted day-to-day economic activity. Later, the Ukraine war disrupted global supply chains and impacted commodity prices.

The twin blows contributed to a slowdown in 2023, with the world economy expected to grow by just three per cent.

Global economic projections for 2024, too, are not rosy. Global growth is expected to slow to 2.9 per cent, as per the International Monetary Fund.

"The global economy continues to recover from the pandemic, Ukraine war and the cost-of-living crisis. In retrospect, the resilience has been remarkable. Even so, growth remains slow and uneven, with widening divergences," writes academician Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas in an IMF blog.

A lot would depend on these five factors since they could make-or-break the world economy.

1) Rate cuts by the Fed &amp; other central banks

Everyone expects the US Fed to start cutting rates from April this year. The economy continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace, and inflation is closer to the Federal Reserve's 2 per cent target.

The US grew at 5.2 per cent in the July-September quarter - the fastest pace of expansion since the last three months of 2021. The annual inflation rate stood at 3.1 per cent at the end of November.

Many expect at least three rate cuts this year, with the monetary cycle likely to continue up to 2025-end. It is estimated that the Fed may go for at least a 2.5 per cent reduction in interest rates over the next 18-24 months.

The rate cuts are likely certain help the global economy, as spending and consumption will get a boost due to the easing monetary policy. This will also give thumbs up to other central banks to follow suit.

Apart from the US Fed, all eyes will be the actions taken by the European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and the Reserve Bank of India.

However, if inflation makes a comeback or tensions heighten in West Asia and East Asia, the US central bank may be forced to keep the rates steady or even raise them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

2) Geopolitical tensions

The Ukraine war, tensions in West Asia, and the growing rivalry between the US and China have had a significant impact on the global economy in recent years.

These geopolitical events have disrupted economic activities, threatening to fragment global trade into smaller blocks, hamper supply chains, and increase prices of essential commodities.

These tensions will spill over to 2024 too.

"The current conflicts (in Ukraine and West Asia) appear to be long term. At best, they could cause volatility in oil markets. At worst, they could fragment the economy and trade system further," a recent Deutsche Bank analysis reads.

The rivalry between the US and China will be closely watched. Already locked in a trade war since 2018, any further escalation between the two biggest economies could drag global growth and make the world a less integrated place — ‘de-globalised’ in other words.

Any drastic action across the Taiwan straits will have global ramifications, with a particular impact on the semiconductor industry and the ongoing artificial intelligence boom.

More so, a 'black swan' event like the Ukraine war will add to the uncertainties.

3) Recession in advanced countries

Slower economic growth raises the fear of a prolonged recession in 2024.

However, the US – the world’s largest economy – likely to skip recession this year, after defying the odds in 2023.

Though that’s the general consensus, but some outliers believe that unemployment may rise in 2024. This, they argue, will have a ripple effect on consumer spending, leading to a recession.

But the Euro Zone, struggling for a while now, is unlikely to get lucky. Factory output has been declining for over 18 months now. The 20-member currency union will not only enter 2024 in technical recession but there is also a high possibility of long-term trouble for the economy.

The IMF's anticipates a slight recovery in 2024. But a lot would depend on the fine balancing act of curbing inflation – still way above the central bank’s target – and fueling growth.

Any rise in inflation – largely energy-driven – will keep prices elevated and growth in the negative territory.

The worst hit will be the United Kingdom, whose economy is on the cusp of a recession after shrinking in 2023. In fact, the Bank of England has warned of recession around the time of elections, likely to be held in mid-2024. The country is likely to see zero growth this year, irrespective of recession.

4) Growing debt burden

The debt burden is likely to remain a big concern, especially in the developing world.

Debt servicing costs will rise by 39 per cent for the 24 poorest countries this year, as per The World Bank.

The poorest countries face a huge $3.5 trillion debt burden. In the absence of any resolution mechanism, they could default.

As per reports, these countries, often dubbed 'frontier markets', will have to repay about $200 billion of debt in 2024.

This, in the words of Indermit Gill, the World Bank Group’s Chief Economist, will force developing countries to choice between servicing their public debts and investing in public health, education, and infrastructure.

The focus will be on the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund &amp; China – the biggest lenders. Any resolution to the debt crisis in 2024 will depend on these key players.

5) Elections around the world

Over half of humanity will go to polls, covering at least 40 countries. They represent half of the world’s Gross Domestic Product, raising the stakes for businesses.

India, the United States and the United Kingdom are among the major countries set to go to polls this year.

India is on track to be the third-biggest economy in the world and the markets are betting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third consecutive&nbsp;term.

In the US, a possible re-election of Donald Trump could push global trade – especially with China – into a tailspin.

Across the Atlantic, all eyes will be on the Labour party, which is tipped to win the UK elections amid the economic crisis.

Any expected or unexpected political changes will have economic implications for the world.

The 2024 national elections is about six months away. And even though we keep hearing that state elections have no bearing on general polls... Changing this trend is the BJP supremo - Narendra Modi.

Ahead of the hotly anticipated 2024 US presidential elections as well as the general elections in India, X (formerly known as Twitter) has fired its election team working to prevent disruptions during the polls.

Former X CEO Elon Musk took to the platform and confirmed that the 'election integrity' team was 'gone'. Responding to a post that said X had reportedly cut half of its team, Musk said:&nbsp;“Oh you mean the ‘Election Integrity’ Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone.”

According to a Guardian report, a number of staff members working out of the Dublin office, including Aaron Rodericks, the co-lead of the election disinformation team have left the company.&nbsp;

The sudden firing of the election staff suggests that the workers were not aware that Musk was mulling such a move. Last month, Roderick posted a recruitment ad on LinkedIn, saying he was looking to hire eight staffers ahead of more than 70 elections worldwide in 2024.&nbsp;

“If you have a passion for protecting the integrity of elections and civic events, X is certainly at the centre of the conversation!” he wrote.&nbsp;

Who is Hirsh Singh? Indian-American announces 2024 US presidential bid

Drawing the battle lines, opposition parties on Friday resolved to take on the BJP unitedly in 2024 Lok Sabha elections at a crucial meeting in Patna, the capital of&nbsp;the eastern Indian state of Bihar, even as fissures emerged with the AAP asserting that it would be difficult for it to be part of any such gathering in future till the Congress publicly supports it on the ordinance issue.

At a joint press meeting, opposition parties said they would fight the polls on a common agenda and state-wise strategy, setting aside their differences with a flexible approach.

The plan of action is expected to be formulated at the second meeting to be chaired by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, tentatively on July 10 or 12, in Shimla.

"We will have to evolve separate plans for every state and will work together to dethrone the BJP at the Centre," Kharge said.

Launching a blistering attack on the BJP, West Bengal chief minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee claimed that if the "dictatorial government" at the Centre returns to power this time, there will be no elections in the future.

Over 32 leaders of more than a dozen political parties attended the meeting hosted by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar at his 1, Aney Marg residence.

While Mayawati (BSP), Naveen Patnaik (BJD), K Chandrashekar Rao (BRS)&nbsp; and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (YSRCP) were not invited, RLD leader Jayant Chaudhary did not attend the meeting due to a "predetermined family programme".

There was lack of clarity on the exact number of parties that pledged to take on the BJP unitedly with leaders such as Nitish Kumar and Banerjee putting the number at 17 and some others like Yechury stating that 15 parties were there.

The BJP reacted strongly to the Opposition meeting, calling it a "multi-headed selfish alliance" and compared it with wolves hunting in packs.&nbsp;

Home Minister Amit Shah described the opposition unity meeting as a mere "photo session".

Despite repeated assertions by the opposition parties that they were united, fissures in their ranks became apparent when AAP issued a statement after the meeting, claiming that the Congress has "refused" to publicly denounce the Centre's ordinance on Delhi's administrative services.&nbsp;

The Arvind Kejriwal-led outfit said that until the Congress publicly denounces the Centre's ordinance on Delhi's administrative services and declares that all 31 of its RS MPs will oppose the ordinance in the Rajya Sabha, it will be difficult for AAP to participate in future meetings of like-minded parties where the Congress is a participant.

The Congress' silence raises suspicions about its real intentions, the AAP said.

West Bengal CM asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal to sort out their issues on the Delhi Ordinance over a cup of tea at a later date, reminding them that the Patna meeting was not the ideal forum for the discussion, sources said.

According to sources, Congress chief Kharge gave in-principle support on the issue, saying his party doesn't support anything unconstitutional. The Congress has a set mechanism for taking up issues and an announcement on it will be done at a later date, he said.

Earlier, the Congress chief had said the party will take a decision before monsoon session of Parliament.

Sources said at no point Kejriwal threatened to walk out of the meeting.

In fact, all the opposition party members in attendance sided with the Congress and maintained that the Congress' line on the issue was a "reasonable one".&nbsp;

During the meeting, Rahul Gandhi said that he was attending the meeting with a clean slate "without any memory of past likes or dislikes with any of the parties in attendance", according to sources.&nbsp;

He also said he and his party would do anything to keep the opposition parties together.&nbsp;

"We may have some differences but have decided to work together with flexibility and will work to protect our ideology," Gandhi said and alleged that India's foundations and institutions were being attacked.

The Congress leader also suggested that the Opposition would have to break the financial, institutional and constitutional monopoly of the BJP to defeat it.&nbsp;

Banerjee during her address said it was important for all parties to ensure support for the Congress wherever the party was the strongest.&nbsp;

During the meeting, RJD chief Lalu Prasad was given a rousing welcome by the opposition party leaders as he started his speech as the second speaker.&nbsp;

Yadav suggested that for the 2024 general election, the opposition fight should be led by the biggest party in each state and requested&nbsp;the Congress to be generous in sharing seats.

Bihar CM, who was the first to speak, said that while 15 opposition parties were in attendance, at least 10 more will be joining the ranks soon.&nbsp;

Kejriwal said for the 2024 election, the motto should be "nation first, party second."&nbsp; He said when parties give up seats for their partners, their victory should be a victory for the united front.

Jharkhand's Hemant Soren (JMM), Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav, Maharashtra's former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena-UBT), National Conference Leader Omar Abdullah and NCP president Sharad Pawar were also among the leaders who attended the nearly four-hours-long meeting.

Kumar (JD(U) and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav (RJD), who hosted the meeting, as well as Peoples Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti, CPI general secretary D Raja, CPI (ML) leader Dipankar Bhattacharya and CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury were also present at the meeting and the joint presser.

However, Kejriwal and his Tamil Nadu counterpart MK Stalin did not participate in the press briefing. Stalin had to catch a flight for prior commitments.&nbsp;

Kumar, however, said both had to leave as they had to take their plane back home.&nbsp;

Speaking with reporters after reaching Chennai, Stalin said the meeting did not decide on fielding a common prime ministerial candidate but resolved to consolidate all democratic forces to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

There have also been tensions between the Congress and TMC over the Panchayat polls violence in West Bengal but they seemed to have taken a backseat Friday with Banerjee asserting that the Opposition has resolved to fight the BJP unitedly.

Banerjee said she had urged Kumar to organise the first meeting in Patna as "whatever starts from Patna, takes the shape of a people's movement".

She said there are three key takeaways from the meeting in Patna -- the opposition is united, it will fight together and the fight is against the BJP's "tyrannical rule and vendetta politics." "The BJP wants to change history but we'll ensure that history is saved," she said.

NCP supremo Sharad Pawar said just like the JP movement, "our united front will get the blessings of the public".

"The message from the Patna meeting is clear for all of us that we need to work together to save the country," said Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav.

Jharkhand Chief Minister and JMM leader Soren said today's beginning will prove to be a milestone for the country and all leaders will move together with positive thinking.

At the press conference, Uddhav Thackeray said, "we will stand against the tyrants", referring to the BJP.

He said parties can have different ideologies and differences but they belong to one country and will work together to save the people from those in power currently.

On his part NC leader Omar Abdullah said parties from Kashmir to Kanyakumari have come together "not for power, but for principles and to save the Constitution".

CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said the main issue is to protect the character of our secular democratic country which the "BJP wants to change".

CPI leader D Raja alleged that BJP's nine-year rule has become "disastrous and detrimental" to the constitution of our country.

"We can't let Gandhi's India become Godse's country," PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti said after the meeting.

In the current Lok Sabha, the combined strength of these parties accounts for less than 200 of the 543 seats, though their leaders are hopeful of together turning the tables on the saffron party which enjoys a brute majority with a 300-plus tally.

The Congress, which is seen as the principal rival of&nbsp; BJP, had won 52 seats in 2019, a slight improvement over its 2014 performance when it won only 44 - an all-time low.&nbsp;

Republicans prefer Ron DeSantis over Donald Trump in new opinion poll

US President Joe Biden believes he can once again beat his predecessor Donald Trump&nbsp;in a possible 2024 rematch, as both politicians seek a second term at the top.

"I believe I can beat Donald Trump again," he said during an interview with CNN. He was asked whether he was going to seek four more years in office and about his future prospects in the tussle with the Republican leader.

Recent polls reportedly show that a majority of Democrats do not want Biden to run for re-election.&nbsp;

A CNN poll found that 75 per cent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters want the party to nominate someone else, and 17 per cent of these want another nominee because of Biden's age. The US President will soon be turning 80.

“They’re concerned about whether or not I can get anything done. Look what I’ve gotten done. Name me a president in recent history that’s gotten as much done as I have in the first two years. Not a joke. You may not like what I got done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done,” he told CNN.

“It’s a matter of, can you do the job? And I believe I can do the job. I’ve been able to do the job,” he added.

'Putin misjudged ability to invade Ukraine' 
 
He also discussed the ongoing Ukraine war and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He called Putin a "rational actor" who has misjudged his ability to invade Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

Asked about the upcoming G20 meeting in Indonesia next month and the prospect of talks with the Russian president, Biden said it would depend on what Putin wanted to talk about. 
 
“But look, he’s acted brutally...I think he’s committed war crimes. And so I don’t, I don’t see any rationale to meet with him now.”

On Putin's nuclear threats

He also said that he didn't believe that Russia would ultimately use nuclear weapons, adding, "I think it’s irresponsible for him to talk about it, the idea that a world leader of one of the largest nuclear powers in the world says he may use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine."

Biden added&nbsp;that as per him Putin's threats have had a destabilising effect and warned that an error in judgment in the use of these weapons could lead "to a horrible outcome".

"Not because anybody intends to turn it into a world war or anything, but just once you use a nuclear weapon, the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows what would happen."

"The mistakes get made. And the miscalculation could occur, no one can be sure what would happen,"&nbsp;he said adding that such a "miscalculation" could end in Armageddon.
