Despite 'Dr. Doom' reputation, Nouriel Roubini thinks the global economy will avoid a worst-case scenario

• Nouriel Roubini thinks the global economy will avoid a worst-case scenario this year.
• That's despite his reputation as a permabear, which has earned him the nickname "Dr. Doom."
• But he added that risks remain, such as geopolitical turmoil.

The world economy will likely dodge the worst-possible outcomes this year, according to long-time permabear Nouriel Roubini.

Acknowledging that most economists' predictions for recession in 2023 were wrong, he wrote in Project Syndicate on Monday that forecasters should approach 2024 with "humility."
