Debt Report 2020 Edition II

(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-04) World Bank

This is the second of a new series of Debt Reports for 2020 to be published online, at regular intervals, over the course of the year. Debt Report 2020 Edition II is published at a time when many countries are struggling to cope with the deadly impact of COVID-19 and a large part of the global economy is shut down, generating both demand and supply side shocks. It is too soon to assess what the economic and financial costs will be, much less predict the impact on capital flows. However, learning from past global crises, low- and middle-income countries face serious risks. Pre-COVID-19 debt inflows from private creditors were forecast as subdued on account of the downturn in the global economy in 2019 and pre-crisis projections are for only a moderate recovery in 2020. This crisis is putting even more pressure on global economic growth and capital flows. As always in times of crisis, the World Bank and the IMF have stepped up to the plate, pledging a total of $62 billion of fast-disbursing funds to support low- and middle-income countries to mitigate the impact of the virus. They have issued a joint communique calling on official bilateral creditors in G20 countries to suspend debt payments from any of the world’s poores t countries that request forbearance, to allow time for an assessment of the impact of the crisis and the possible debt relief needs of each country. The aim of these Debt Reports is to provide users with analyses of evolving trends and developments related to external debt and public debt in individual countries and regional groups, with primary emphasis on low- and middle-income countries, and to keep users abreast of debt-related issues and initiatives.

Purchasing Power Parities and Real Expenditures of World Economics : A Comprehensive Report of the 2011 International Comparison Program

(Washington, DC, 2015) World Bank

The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a large and highly complex worldwide statistical program conducted under the charter of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC). The ICP is designed to provide globally comparable economic aggregates in national accounts that can be used by individual researchers, analysts, and policy makers at the national and international levels and by international organizations such as the European Union, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations, and World Bank. Over its lifetime, the ICP has become the principal source of data on the purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies, measures of real per capita income, and measures of real gross domestic product (GDP) and its main components from the expenditure side, including private consumption, government expenditures, and gross fixed capital formation. Indeed, since its inception in 1970, successive rounds of the ICP have produced valuable data for international economic analyses of economic growth and the catch-up and convergence of incomes among nations; productivity levels and trends; analyses of systematic patterns in national price levels and trends; construction of the Human Development Index by the United Nations; measures of regional and global inequality in incomes and consumption; and estimates of the incidence of absolute poverty using World Bank developed yardsticks such as the US$1 a day and $2 a day poverty lines.
