dc.description.abstract | This issue of the MENA Economic Update presents a summary of recent macroeconomic trends, including an update of the conflict centered in Gaza and its regional spillovers, alongside an analysis of factors that shape the long-term growth potential of the region, with special attention to the persistent effects of conflicts. A modest uptick in growth is forecast for 2024, which nonetheless masks important disparities within the region. The acceleration is driven by the high-income oil exporters, while growth is expected to decelerate among developing MENA countries, both developing oil exporters and developing oil importers. Despite current challenges, the region can dramatically boost growth by better allocating talent in the labor market, leveraging its strategic location, and promoting innovation. Closing the gender employment gap, rethinking the footprint of the public sector, and facilitating technology transfers through trade under enhanced data quality and transparency can help the region leap toward the frontier. Peace is a pre-condition for catching up to the frontier, as conflict can undo decades of progress, delaying economic development by generations. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Cette édition du bulletin d'information économique de la région MENA présente un résumé des tendances macroéconomiques récentes, y compris une mise à jour du conflit centré sur Gaza et ses retombées régionales, ainsi qu'une analyse des facteurs qui déterminent le potentiel de croissance à long terme de la région, en accordant une attention particulière aux effets persistants des conflits. Un léger regain de croissance est prévu pour 2024, qui masque toutefois d'importantes disparités au sein de la région. L'accélération est due aux exportateurs de pétrole à revenu élevé, tandis que la croissance devrait se ralentir dans les pays en développement de la région MENA, qu'ils soient exportateurs ou importateurs de pétrole. Malgré les défis actuels, la région peut considérablement stimuler la croissance en répartissant mieux les talents sur le marché du travail, en tirant parti de sa position stratégique et en promouvant l'innovation. Combler l'écart entre les sexes en matière d'emploi, repenser l'empreinte du secteur public et faciliter les transferts de technologie par le biais du commerce dans le cadre d'une amélioration de la qualité et de la transparence des données peuvent aider la région à se rapprocher de la frontière. La paix est une condition préalable au rattrapage de la frontière, car les conflits peuvent réduire à néant des décennies de progrès et retarder le développement économique de plusieurs générations. | fr |
