Description

The global economy is enjoying a broad-based cyclical recovery.

Investment, manufacturing, and trade are on therebound.

Financing conditions are benign, monetary policies are generally accommodative, and the worst impacts of the recent commodity price collapse are dissipating.

However, the global economic outlook remains clouded by a number of risks.

These include the possibility of financial market disruptions, rising protectionist sentiment, and heightened geopolitical tensions.

Subdued productivity and slowing potential growth is of particular concern.In addition to discussing global and regional economic developments and prospects, this edition of Global Economic Prospects includes a chapter on the causes of the broad-based slowdown in potential growth and suggests a number of remedies.

The report also contains Special Focus sections on the impact of the 2014-16 oil price collapse and the relationship between education demographics and global inequality.

Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group Flagship Report that examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on emerging market and developing countries, on a semiannual basis (in January and June).

The January edition includes in-depth analyses of topical policy challenges faced by these economies, while the June edition contains shorter analytical pieces.
