To overcome sluggish global economic growth, the International Monetary Fund called for bolstering research and development to foster innovation.

The organization, in a report, said fiscal policy can play a vital role in promoting innovation through entrepreneurship, R&D, and technology transfer.

The IMF projected business in developed economies should invest 40% more in R&D, which could lift the gross domestic product of their respective nations by 05.0% in the long run and amplify growth in the global economy.

Only 13 nations have R&D spending that is above 2% of their GDP, including Australia, France, Germany, Japan, South KOrea, and the United States.
