Compared with the past three years, 2014 seems hopeful and 2015 can be a turning point for Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. After a slowdown in 2013, recovery in high income economies is expected to boost global growth to 3.2 percent...

In addition to growth expansion in the United States, the United Kingdom, as well modest recovery in the Euro zone countries, global growth will continue to be driven by growth in developing countries, expected to be between 5.3 to 5.5 percent in 2014 and 2015 respectively, led by China and India.

Fiscal spending in almost all MENA countries is dominated by a large civil-service wage bill and general subsidies. The global recovery remains fragile and downside risks, including continued low inflation in high-income economies, can weaken demand and delay economic recovery. 2014-11-19T16:19:22Z 2014-11-19T16:19:22Z 2014-04 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/04/20144323/harnessing-global-recovery-tough-road-ahead http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20548 English en_US MENA knowledge and learning quick notes series;no. 122 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa North Africa Middle East |

Compared with the past three years, 2014
seems hopeful and 2015 can be a turning point for Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) countries. After a slowdown in
2013, recovery in high income economies is expected to boost
global growth to 3.2 percent in 2014, an increase of 0.8
percent from 2013. Global output is to improve further in
2015 with real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3.4
percent. In addition to growth expansion in the United
States, the United Kingdom, as well modest recovery in the
Euro zone countries, global growth will continue to be
driven by growth in developing countries, expected to be
between 5.3 to 5.5 percent in 2014 and 2015 respectively,
led by China and India. Higher global demand is expected to
boost MENA energy and manufactured exports in countries that
have trade linkages with high-income countries. MENA
countries share many structural problems that have prevented
economies from moving to a higher, sustainable growth path.
Fiscal spending in almost all MENA countries is dominated by
a large civil-service wage bill and general subsidies. The
global recovery remains fragile and downside risks,
including continued low inflation in high-income economies,
can weaken demand and delay economic recovery. |
