Description

Clearly, great macroeconomic challenges lie ahead. The World Economic Outlook (WEO) will provide you and your organization with key insights into how to view unprecedented global imbalances, respond to capital account crises caused by abrupt shifts in global asset allocations, and evaluate the opportunities for all member countries, especially low-income countries, to grow. The World Economic Outlook presents the IMF's analysis and projections of economic development at the global level, in major country groups (classified by region, stage of development, etc.), and for many individual countries. The WEO is usually prepared twice a year, with periodic updates, as documentation for meetings of the International Monetary and Financial Committee, and forms the main instrument of the IMF's global surveillance activities. It focuses on major economic policy issues as well as on economic trends and prospects. The opening two chapters-the international, regional, and country economic forecasts-of the World Economic Outlook (WEO) are especially valued for their timeliness-and for the accessibility of the writing. Other chapters focus on pressing concerns or hotly debated issues, putting vulnerabilities and opportunities for growth into context. The report is rich with tables, annexes, boxes, and charts clarifying the key issues underlying the policy analysis. As you reassess prospects for liquidity, inflation, and growth, the World Economic Outlook is indispensable for guiding your organization to the strongest-and safest-decisions.
