IMF set to cut forecast for global growth

The International Monetary Fund is set to cut its forecast for global growth next month.

It will update its estimates for the world economy in October.

The IMF's Managing Director Christine Lagarde has said a downward revision is "likely".

Ms Lagarde also said uncertainty over the debt crisis in the euro zone is the greatest risk to the world economy.
