CONTAINER terminal giant DP World took an upbeat view on global economic prospects, stating World Bank warnings on slower growth and an increased threat of recession is overly pessimistic, reports Bloomberg.
"I don't know that all that will happen in 2023," said DP World chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem.
"We understand that there are issues, but I think that business is capable to deal with them. We learned the hard way during Covid, and I think we can overcome it."
Global gross domestic product is expected to increase 1.7 per cent this year, about half the pace forecast in June and the third-worst performance in three decades.
World trade and container volumes will get a boost from China's reopening, helping to ease the economic situation.
