Global and Regional Surveillance Reports (Package 1)

The World Economic Outlook (WEO) is the IMF's respected economic scorecard, offering an in-depth briefing of the IMF staff's analysis and projections at the global level. With a focus on major economic policy issues, each volume offers a comprehensive assessment of the current international economic situation, outlooks, and risks. In this powerful package, the WEO is joined by companion publications distilling the IMF's leading economists' analyses of financial system risk and key regional economic and policy issues. The Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR) seeks to identify potential fault lines in the global financial system that could lead to crisis, focusing on current conditions and highlighting both financial imbalances and issues of a structural nature that could pose risks to financial market stability and to market access by emerging market borrowers. Since shifts within regions can be as significant as those occurring across regions, the IMF's five Regional Economic Outlook (REO) analyses add vital ongoing judgment of market risk and prospects for prosperity within key regions. In today's environment, the IMF's Regional Economic Outlook studies of Asia and Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Western Hemisphere are more valuable than ever. Each volume in the package presents the outlook for growth, inflation, trade, and other economic developments in a clear, practical format. Central bankers, economists, financial institutions, business leaders, governments, think tanks, and researchers respect these critical investigations of what's happening and what's ahead.
