Regional economic outlook : Middle East and Central Asia Paperback / softback
by International Monetary Fund
Part of the World economic and financial surveys series
Paperback / softback
Description
Economic prospects for the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP) and Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) regions are diverging.
Despite the strengthening global recovery, the outlook for MENAP countries remains relatively subdued due to the continued adjustment to low oil prices and regional conflicts.
In contrast, the outlook for the CCA region is improving, supported by the more favorable global environment.
In both regions, efforts to promote growth-friendly fiscal consolidation, stronger monetary policy frameworks, economic diversification and private sector development should continue.
The window of opportunity arising from various integration initiatives and the favorable external environment call for increasing trade openness, while the adoption of financial technologies could increase financial inclusion and facilitate greater access to credit.
Together, these actions will help MENAP and CCA countries to secure higher and more inclusive growth.
