Attorney Leeza Garber and Defiance ETFs CEO and CIO Sylvia Jablonski provide insight on cybersecurity during the Russia-Ukraine war on "Making Money."

The global economic outlook has darkened considerably as the Russian war in Ukraine and sky-high inflation weigh on the still-fragile recovery from the pandemic, the International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday. 

The Washington-based institution said in its latest World Economic Outlook that global domestic gross product will grow by 3.6% this year – a 0.8 percentage point drop from its January estimate. The IMF, which noted that its forecast is marked by "unusually high uncertainty," expects global growth to remain at 3.6% next year, a 0.2 percentage point decline from January. By comparison, the economy grew by 6.1% last year following the brief but extremely severe recession in 2020.

The United States Postal Service will slow down delivery speeds for nearly one-third of first-class packages as part of new service standards slated to take effect starting May 1. 

According to the Postal Service, 32% of first-class packages will see their delivery service standard increase by one or two days. Meanwhile, 64% of first-class package service volume will be unaffected and 4% will be updated from a three-day to two-day service standard. 

"Modifying these service standards will allow for additional transport time for long-distance package deliveries and increased network efficiencies," the Postal Service said in a news release on Monday. "The new FCPS service standards will also enable additional package volume to be transported by surface transportation, which is more reliable and affordable compared to air transportation."
