Turning to the global economy now. The World Bank says in a fresh report that it's expecting robust economic expansion in 2018.
The international financial institution is forecasting global growth of 3.1 percent on the back of strong investment, manufacturing and trade. The World Bank also says that the developing economies that export commodities will do the best. However, the World Bank sees the upswing as being short-term. It says a potential slow-down could threaten the economy over the longer term.
