The IMF publication that I get called "World Economic Outlook"

imf.org

does not give forecasts for that far in the future. Their forecasts for 2003 are 3.7% world growth divided into the advanced economies growing 2.5% and the developing economies growing 5.2% It's these developing nations that are driving the demand for raw materials. For example, it is estimated that China is currently consuming between 10% and 15% of the world's refined metals. When the advanced economies get out of their slowdown, I expect demand will really pick up.
