By Christopher S. Rugaber AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON - The global economy is strengthening but faces threats from super-low inflation and outflows of capital from emerging economies, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday.

Those figures are just one-tenth of a percentage point below the IMF's previous forecasts in January.
