The International Monetary Fund (IMF) sees a logn war in Iraq cutting global economic growth by up to two percentage points from a revised 2003 forcast of 3.3%, Germany's Handelsblatt daily reported. In the IMF's World Economic Outlook obtained by the business daily ahead of publication in April, the IMF warned of "serious economic consequences" from an Iraq war and lower growth if it went on for a logn time and spread to other regions.
