IMF Lowers Global Economic Growth Outlook to 3.8%

The IMF has revised its World Economic Outlook, reducing the global growth forecast from 4% to 3.8% due to weaker economic performance in Europe, Russia, and Brazil. Germany, a key European economy, is experiencing its lowest industrial production in five years, partly due to sanctions on Russia affecting central Europe.

How have sanctions against Russia affected the European economy?

What specific countries did the IMF mention as contributing to the weaker economic outlook?
