Underscoring the extent of the challenges, the IMF released a new economic forecast Wednesday that projected that the world economy would fall by 1.3 percent this year, the first decline since World War II, and what the IMF called "by far the deepest global recession since the Great Depression."
Private economists said an output decline of that magnitude would leave at least 10 million more people jobless around the world.
