Europe and Central Asia Regional Outlook

The document provides an overview of 10 reasons to be positive about the Irish economy's outlook in 2014 and 2015. It summarizes that: 1) uncertainty in the eurozone is decreasing with the ECB playing a stabilizing role; 2) Ireland's key trading partners are projected to see stronger growth over 2014-2015; and 3) low interest rates are expected to continue in the eurozone due to its sluggish recovery. It outlines other positive factors such as the housing correction ending, the fiscal correction coming to a close, regained creditworthiness, stronger than expected job growth, and signs of improved consumer spending and confidence. The economy still faces challenges but growth is poised to accelerate as domestic and external demand increase.

The Ukrainian currency lost another 1% against the dollar last week. A corruption scandal weakened the government but also strengthened its position by allowing it to portray itself as reformist. Ukraine had a rare current account surplus in December of $418 million due to lower natural gas imports, but the surplus is not expected to be sustainable. Total public debt rose to 80.6% of GDP by the end of 2015, double the level from two years ago.

Banks in Germany, France, and the UK remain vulnerable, with over €1 trillion in commitments to PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain) countries. Every quarter, the Bank for International Settlements publishes countries' bank exposures, showing that in the period from June to September 2010, banks in major creditor countries cut their exposure to PIGS countries by over €100 billion. This trend of selling exposures to the European Central Bank likely continued thereafter.

Lessons for Inclusive Growth from the US & the World - by Jason Furman

Global Economic Prospects Jan 2013

The document is from the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report from January 2013. It summarizes recent trends in the global economy including declining default risk in the Euro area, rebounds in capital flows to developing countries, but continued weakness in industrial production and business confidence. It also discusses downgraded growth projections for 2012-2013, risks from external shocks, the benefits of fiscal space, and the long term gains from improvements in growth.

Equity ed

The document analyzes gender, income, and location disparities in education indicators like enrollment rates, attendance rates, literacy rates, and completion rates across different world regions. Some key findings are: - Gender parity has been achieved globally and in most regions for pre-primary and primary enrollments, though Middle East/North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa still lag behind. - Low income is the greatest source of disparity for out-of-school children across regions. Rural students in Sub-Saharan Africa also have much lower attendance and completion rates than urban students. - The majority of out-of-school primary school age girls live in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with Nigeria

Expenditure ed

This document analyzes education expenditures globally by examining the share of GDP and total government expenditures spent on education in different countries. It finds that countries spending the least on education as a share of GDP or total expenditures still achieve high primary enrollment rates. Conversely, high levels of spending do not necessarily lead to high enrollment or completion rates. Some countries achieve high enrollment with relatively low spending levels. The document provides data on education spending and outcomes for various countries to illustrate these points.

Tertiary ed

This document provides data and analysis on indicators of tertiary education around the world, including: - Global tertiary enrollment rates have increased to around 30% but still over 70% of tertiary age youth are not enrolled. Eastern Europe has the highest enrollment rates while sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest. - Countries with higher GDP per capita generally have higher tertiary enrollment rates. Most countries with GDP per capita over $20,000 have enrollment rates over 50%. - Gender disparities in enrollment vary by region with the Middle East/North Africa closest to parity while South/Central Asia favor males and Latin America/Europe favor females. Most countries now have higher female than male enrollment rates. - Income

South Asia Regional Outlook June 2013

Policy Research Report 2014

The document summarizes key points from a World Bank policy research report on the twin goals of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity. It finds that business as usual will not achieve ending poverty, and growth alone must be inclusive to benefit the poorest 40% in each country. It also notes challenges like climate change that could hamper progress, and limitations in measurement due to data availability and quality.

Primary ed

This document summarizes data on primary education from a global report. It includes information on enrollment rates, out of school children, gender and income disparities, pupil-teacher ratios, repetition rates, completion rates, learning outcomes, and education expenditures for primary education. The key findings are that primary enrollment has increased globally but progress has stalled since 2008, sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest enrollment rates and largest number of out of school children, and the biggest disparities in attendance rates exist across income levels in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Middle East & North Africa Regional Outlook June 2013

http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook More than two years after the Arab Spring began, economic activity remains weighed down by elevated political tensions and continued civil strife in the region. Regional growth accelerated to 3.5 percent in 2012 from minus 2.2 percent in 2011 reflecting mainly a rebound in Libya’s crude oil production to pre-war levels that doubled real GDP and a weak growth recovery in Egypt (to 2.2 percent in FY2012 from 1.8 percent in FY2011).

Cambodia Poverty Assessment - Feb 2014

This document summarizes Cambodia's progress in reducing poverty between 2004 and 2012 based on official estimates. It finds that poverty rates declined significantly from 53.2% in 2004 to 20.5% in 2011 due to rising rice prices and production, pro-poor economic growth, and investments in rural infrastructure by the government. However, challenges remain as the poor remain concentrated in rural areas and are vulnerable to economic shocks. The document recommends policies to further enhance agriculture, diversify the economy, improve access to education, health, and social services, and strengthen accountability to reduce poverty and vulnerability.

Literacy ed

The document summarizes literacy rates for youth and adults globally and by region over time. Some key findings: - Global youth literacy has risen from 83% to 90% from 1985-2010, though 10% of youth still lack basic literacy. All regions have seen improvements, especially South Asia which rose 21 percentage points. - Adult literacy has risen globally from 76% to 84% over this period. The Middle East/North Africa saw the largest rise at 20 percentage points. - Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest rates for both youth and adult literacy and largest gender disparities, though all regions have reduced these gaps over time.

Emerging internet trends that will shape the global economy

The document summarizes statistics about internet usage globally as of 2014, including the number of mobile devices, smartphones, internet hosts, and users. It then outlines some of the technical evolutions of the internet over time, such as the increasing usage of IPv6 and internationalized domain names. It discusses implications of the internet in 2014, including the rise of mobile access, image and data sharing, augmented reality, location tracking, and social networking, as well as challenges around privacy, political issues, cybersecurity and more. Finally, it raises examples of internet policy challenges and the potential role of organizations like the World Bank in supporting internet infrastructure development and policy.

Latina America & Caribbean Outlook, Jan 2014

Subdued global trade and lower commodity prices slowed economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean to 2.5% in 2013. Exports growth fell from 7.6% in 2012 to 1.7% while the current account balance declined from -1.7% to -2.6%. However, economic growth is projected to gradually increase to 3.5% by 2016, driven by a pickup in exports and private investment as commodity prices and global trade strengthen. Net capital flows to the region are also expected to rise again after declining in 2013.

G20 Growth Agenda: Framework for Strong, Sustainable, and Balanced Growth

The document discusses the G20 agenda to promote strong, sustainable, and balanced global economic growth. It provides context on the G20 process and framework. It then outlines several challenges, including restoring strong growth and job creation in advanced economies, fostering sustainable growth in emerging economies to avoid middle-income traps, promoting balanced growth and reducing global imbalances, and ensuring growth is inclusive. It discusses how G20 countries are developing national growth strategies focused on investment, competition, trade, and employment to contribute to lifting collective G20 GDP growth above current policy trajectories.

Global Economic Prospects, January 2014

The document is a report from the World Bank that provides projections for the global economy. It forecasts that global GDP growth will increase from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.2% in 2014, and then stabilize at 3.4-3.5% in 2015-2016. Growth is expected to be led by high-income countries as their recoveries continue. Developing country growth will also increase but at a slower pace than previously expected, reaching 5.3% in 2014, 5.5% in 2015, and 5.7% in 2016. Acceleration will be limited in regions that have already fully recovered. Capital flows to developing countries are projected to decline only marginally from 4.6% to 4.

World Development Report 2014

The document discusses how pursuing opportunity requires confronting many risks, including job loss, crime, disease, natural disasters, and financial crises. Facing these risks alone can be burdensome, but sharing risks with others through collective action, institutions, families, communities, enterprises, banks, government, and the international community can help overcome obstacles. Effective risk management, including knowledge, protection, insurance, and coping strategies, is a process that can be a powerful tool for development.

Poverty Assessment Dissemination - Feb, 2014 - KHMWB_Research

Global Economic Prospects - June 2013

The document is from the World Bank's June 2013 Global Economic Prospects report. It finds that while global growth is picking up, it remains 1-2 percentage points slower than pre-crisis rates and is less volatile. Confidence indicators continue to send mixed signals. Also, while developing country growth is solid, private sector debt may prove destabilizing if interest rates or risk appetite changes. The outlook calls for muted but solid growth in developing countries.

African Development Bank Group - Quaterly statistical review - First quarter ...

Franck Dasilva

- The global economy picked up in the first quarter of 2013 after weakening at the end of 2012, driven by resilience in emerging economies. Growth is expected to be slow but steady in the US and Canada, and improving in Japan, while the eurozone recovery will likely take longer. - Unemployment is falling in the US and consumer spending is rising. Japan implemented fiscal stimulus and monetary easing to spur growth. However, the eurozone remains in recession, with high unemployment, especially in Greece and Spain. - Inflation remains generally subdued across advanced economies. Commodity prices were mixed in the first quarter. Financial markets were buoyant despite concerns around fiscal problems in advanced nations.

Doing Business in Russia 2012: Subnational

Derrick Staten

This report summarizes business regulations across 30 cities in Russia, comparing the ease of starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, and registering property. Some key findings: - Ulyanovsk ranks highest overall due to strong performance on starting a business, construction permits, and electricity. However, no city excels in all areas measured. - Reforms have helped top-ranked cities like Kazan and Irkutsk maintain their positions, while others like Rostov-on-Don and Kaliningrad perform well on some indicators but not others. - There are significant differences between regions in Russia. Economic activity is highly concentrated in cities like Moscow, which also face higher costs.

East Asia & Pacific Outlook, Jan 2014

Growth in the East Asia and Pacific region moderated to 7.2% in 2013 from 7.4% in 2012, with growth in China unchanged at 7.7%. Growth slowed in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand due to policy tightening aimed at reducing imbalances from loose policies in 2007-2012. The region's growth is expected to remain flat at around 7.2% in 2014-2016, though risks include a sudden tightening of global financing conditions or a rapid decline in China's investment rates. Major downside risks have decreased but not been eliminated and include a protracted Eurozone recovery and US fiscal policy uncertainty. Regional tensions could also undermine growth prospects.

Global Strategy Report A new world order

Ajibola Alfred

This document discusses the economic opportunities and challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on Nigeria. It notes that sub-Saharan Africa has experienced strong economic growth above 5% annually despite the global economic slowdown. This growth is driven by factors like natural resources, a large population including many youths, and increasing urbanization and middle class. However, challenges include infrastructure gaps, poverty, and lack of education. The document argues that sub-Saharan Africa, and Nigeria in particular, have potential to emerge as the next frontier for global retail investments if countries can address challenges and improve conditions.

Gep june 2013 regional outlook east asia & pacific

The document discusses economic growth and outlook in East Asia and the Pacific region. It finds that loose monetary policies contributed to rising debt levels in some countries. While growth was strong in 2013, price pressures emerged in some countries and risks remain for 2014-2015, including high debt levels and potential spillovers from other regions. The document recommends policies to strengthen fiscal balances and control inflation.

Recent Developments in Global Financial Markets: Impact on Turkey

Eren Ocakverdi

Currency trend in 2017

- Mongolia's currency, the MNT, has remained relatively stable against the USD in recent years and does not appear overvalued based on GDP comparisons. However, foreign exchange reserves are very low, leaving Mongolia dependent on foreign capital inflows. - The Mongolian economy entered a technical recession in 2016 as key sectors like mining, construction and trade declined significantly. This was largely driven by a fall in fixed investment levels. - Looking ahead, stabilization of the MNT exchange rate will depend on foreign direct investment of around $1-1.3 billion annually as well as $1 billion in loans. Moderate central bank interventions may also help smooth volatility, though foreign exchange risks remain substantial. Overall, the

The document provides an overview of Mongolia's macroeconomic indicators and developments in July 2013. It summarizes that GDP growth slowed to 7.2% in the first quarter due to declining exports and FDI inflows. Inflation decelerated to 8.4% in May after accelerating to double digits in 2012 due to expansionary fiscal policy. The current account deficit remained significant despite slowing imports as fiscal policy continued to be procyclical.

The document summarizes economic growth and prospects in the Europe and Central Asia region. It notes that growth strengthened in 2013 to 3.4%, up from 2% in 2012, supported by increases in external demand. However, growth varied among countries, with energy and commodity exporters maintaining strong growth while others saw mixed performance. The outlook predicts sustained gradual acceleration of regional growth to 3.8% by 2016, although this depends significantly on the strength of recoveries in Europe and Russia.

Inflation decreased to 9.8% in April 2013 after hitting double digits in 2012, driven by expansionary fiscal policy. The fiscal deficit reached over 10% of GDP in 2012, with spending exceeding 55% of non-mineral GDP, continuing pro-cyclical fiscal policies. Weakening exports and slowing import growth have increased the trade deficit despite easing in recent months, while international reserves have drifted lower due to external sector weakness.

This document summarizes the challenges and opportunities facing Mongolian banks and financial institutions given the country's rapidly growing economy. It notes that while Mongolia has experienced double-digit GDP growth, fueled by expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, the economy faces macroeconomic imbalances and volatility from its dependence on mining. Banks dominate the financial sector but have small capital bases. The government has implemented price stabilization and mortgage programs to boost the economy, impacting bank liquidity and loan growth. Rating agencies view Mongolia's banking system outlook negatively due to ties to the government's creditworthiness and narrow economic focus. Challenges include an underdeveloped non-banking sector and legal framework, while opportunities include cooperation with international partners and

The document summarizes a World Bank report on recent economic developments in Russia. It finds that Russia's economic growth slowed to 1.3% in 2013 due to weak domestic demand and a loss of business and consumer confidence following a lack of structural reforms. Two scenarios project lower growth in 2014, with the high-risk scenario showing a contraction of 1.8% if geopolitical tensions escalate. Weaker growth dims prospects for continued economic mobility and middle-class expansion in Russia.

Even It Up - Time to End Extreme Inequality: Comments by Dean Jolliffe

Public services fight inequality

This document summarizes comments on an Oxfam report about public services and inequality. It discusses several key points: 1) There is now greater discussion of inequality in policy, and the World Bank focuses on both eliminating poverty and shared prosperity. Oxfam deserves credit for consistently arguing this. 2) While the report makes a persuasive case for progressive taxation, user fees and taxes do not cover all revenue options in poor countries, which could better target resources to reduce poverty and inequality. 3) Access to some public services like healthcare and education still show steep income gradients in some countries, while other services like water show less inequality. A broader range of potential interventions should be considered. 4) Both

Middle East and North Africa Outlook, Jan 2014

The document is a report from the World Bank on the economic prospects of the Middle East and North Africa region. It finds that political instability has weakened economic activity in oil-importing countries like Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. While exports are beginning to stabilize, tourism arrivals remain depressed by over 50%. Oil production has also declined in some exporters due to security issues. The region faces worsening external imbalances and fiscal deficits. Growth is projected to improve slightly but remain below potential and subject to downside risks.

Sub-Saharan Africa Outlook, Jan 2014

The document discusses economic growth and prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa according to a World Bank report. It notes that real GDP growth picked up to 4.7% in 2013, driven by strong domestic demand. However, fiscal deficits deteriorated and inflation declined due to lower food prices. The report forecasts continued robust growth in the region of 5.3-5.5% through 2016, but cites risks such as a decline in commodity prices, tighter monetary conditions, fiscal deficits, political unrest, and adverse weather.

South Asia Outlook, Jan 2014

South Asia's regional GDP growth slowed to a decade low of 4.6% in 2013 due to both external and domestic challenges. Growth in India fell below 5% and Pakistan's growth averaged 3.5% since 2010. However, regional growth is projected to strengthen to 5.7% in 2014 and rise further to 6.7% by 2016, led by increases in domestic investment and external demand. Risks to the outlook include the ability of countries to sustain fiscal reforms and reduce inflation, as well as potential global economic issues.

Supply side constraints have become apparent in some of the larger economies, where output was near or above potential during the recovery phase, and which contributed to relatively high inflation and deterioration of current account balances. Despite a sharp deceleration in growth, regional output is only now in line with potential GDP.

Science of Delivery in Education

This document discusses the "Science of Delivery in Education" method known as deliverology. It summarizes key points made about deliverology's reported results in improving education in Pakistan. While initial reports showed large gains, upon further analysis the data does not provide clear or consistent evidence that deliverology alone caused such improvements. Enrollment data does not clearly show breaks from prior trends and learning data lacks comparable measures over time. More independent and rigorous data is still needed to fully evaluate deliverology's effectiveness.

Quality ed (1)

This document analyzes key education quality indicators such as pupil-teacher ratios, repetition rates, and literacy rates globally and by region from 1999-2011. It finds that Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia generally have higher pupil-teacher ratios at the primary, secondary, and pre-primary levels compared to other regions. Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America also tend to have higher primary repetition rates. Many countries in these regions have made progress in reducing these ratios and rates over time.
