Fed: PM Rudd says IMF report shows success of stimulus

KEVIN RUDD says a new report by the IMF shows the success of the Australian government's
economic stimulus strategy.

In its latest World Economic Outlook .. the International Monetary Fund now expects
Australia's economic growth to reach three per cent this year .. up from a forecast of
2.5 per cent in January.

The prime minister says the result would have been worse if the government hadn't acted
and described the projections as pretty stunning for the period ahead.
