Sustainable economic growth and strong
institutions are interlinked, and the present report
summarizes recent economic and fiscal developments in West
Bank and Gaza (WB&G) as well as providing a broad
overview of institutional accomplishments to date. The
present report begins by discussing the apparent slowdown in
economic growth in WB&G and the current fiscal crisis
facing the Palestinian Authority (PA)-resulting partly from
lower-than-expected external support this year. A further
drop in donor funding would likely reduce growth, which
would in turn further aggravate the fiscal situation in the
coming year. A protracted fiscal crisis, in turn, risks
jeopardizing the gains made in institution-building and
thereby losing what has been painstakingly achieved over the
past years. In addition, the report highlights that in order
for the PA to sustain the reform momentum and its
achievements in institution-building, remaining Israeli
restrictions must be lifted and any reductions in
international aid flows must be carefully calibrated and
managed. Economic growth in WB&G has slowed down in
2011, and together with the shortfall in external financing,
this has led to a fiscal crisis for the PA. Economic growth
in WB&G remains robust but appears to be slowing due to
economic and political uncertainty, so that the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised the projected
real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for 2011 from
9 down to 7 percent. Despite some improvement, unemployment
remains stubbornly high and labor force participation low in WB&G. |
