dc.description.abstract | The global economy is in its third year of deceleration amidst declining inflation and oil prices. The MENA region grew at 1.9 percent in 2023 and is forecasted to grow at 2.7 percent in 2024. And for the first time since the pandemic, MENA oil exporters and importers will grow at similar rates. The tragedy of the conflict in the Middle East has increased uncertainty. Rising debt leaves many countries in the region exposed. This report unpacks the nature of debt in the region. Oil importers have been unable to either inflate or grow out of debt. Exchange rate fluctuations, and particularly stock flow adjustments (SFA) play a sizeable role. The report highlights the need to address debt transparency. Extrabudgetary items, especially for developing oil importers, need to be accounted for. Primary balances are key, but only to the extent that they capture the true state of government finances. | en |
dc.description.abstract | L'économie mondiale est dans sa troisième année de ralentissement au milieu d'une baisse de l'inflation et des prix du pétrole. La région MENA a connu une croissance de 1.9% en 2023 et les prévisions de croissance sont de 3.9% en 2024. Et pour la première fois depuis la pandémie, les pays exportateurs et importateurs de pétrole de la région MENA vont croître à des taux similaires. La tragédie du conflit au Moyen-Orient a augmenté l'incertitude. L'endettement croissant laisse de nombreux pays de la région exposés. Ce rapport détaille la nature de la dette dans la région. Les pays importateurs de pétrole n'ont pas réussi à sortir de la dette par la croissance ou diluer la dette par l’inflation. Les fluctuations des taux de change, et en particulier les ajustements des flux de stocks (SFA) jouent un rôle considérable. Le rapport souligne la nécessité de s'attaquer à la transparence de la dette. Les postes extrabudgétaires, en particulier pour les importateurs de pétrole en voie de développement, doivent être pris en compte. Les soldes primaires sont clés, mais seulement dans la mesure où ils reflètent le véritable état des finances gouvernementales. | fr |
