The World Bank has a sunny forecast for the year

As rich economies expand, stronger growth globally is expected.

The BBC’s economics correspondent Andrew Walker joins Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio to discuss the report and the speculation that swirled around the Fed’s tapering.
