Summary: | The global crisis is now in the rear
view mirror and world growth is being restored. In sharp
contrast with past episodes of global turmoil, this time the
recovery is led by the periphery, specifically by the larger
and more dynamic emerging markets (Brazil, China, India,
South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand). For this
group of emerging markets (EMs), the contraction in economic
activity was much smaller than that of rich countries, the
recovery started earlier, and the rebound has been much
steeper. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are second
among emerging regions, after Asia, in the strength of the
recovery. The first part of the report focuses on
macroeconomic and financial aspects, emphasizing the outlook
going forward. Finally, the second part examines some
aspects of the adjustment in labor markets during this
crisis in comparison to previous ones. |
