Global Economic Prospects, June 2022

World Bank (2022-06)

The world economy continues to suffer from a series of destabilizing shocks. After more than two years of pandemic, the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine and its global effects on commodity markets, supply chains, inflation, and financial conditions have steepened the slowdown in global growth. In particular, the war in Ukraine is leading to soaring prices and volatility in energy markets, with improvements in activity in energy exporters more than offset by headwinds to activity in most other economies. The invasion of Ukraine has also led to a significant increase in agricultural commodity prices, which is exacerbating food insecurity and extreme poverty in many emerging market and developing economies. Numerous risks could further derail what is now a precarious recovery. Among them is, in particular, the possibility of stubbornly high global inflation accompanied by tepid growth, reminiscent of the stagflation of the 1970s. This could eventually result in a sharp tightening of monetary policy in advanced economies to rein in inflation, lead to surging borrowing costs, and ...

Islamic Republic of Pakistan : Leveling the Playing Field

World Bank (2020-09-16)

This Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD)—the first to be conducted in Pakistan—is aimed at informing Pakistan’s ongoing structural reform process and providing an analytical base for the World Bank Group’s (WBG) engagement moving forward. It presents a timely and evidence-based assessment of the constraints that the country needs to address, and the opportunities that it can embrace, to sustainably accelerate progress toward the goals of ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The SCD, while focusing on developments in the past two decades, builds on the extensive analytical work conducted under the “Pakistan@100 – Shaping the Future” study and reflects inputs from the WBG’s previous and ongoing stakeholder consultations. This SCD was completed before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the analysis presented in the report primarily uses data released up until end-February 2020.

South Caucasus and Central Asia - The Belt and Road Initiative : Uzbekistan Country Case Study

World Bank (2020-06)

Uzbekistan is a resource-rich country with a relatively young population of 33 million, the largest in Central Asia. It is also a geographic pivot for the region, bordering all other Central Asian countries and Afghanistan, with transit connections in all directions. As a double landlocked country, it is uniquely dependent on these cross-border transport connections and on how well they work. It can also potentially be the largest market in Central Asia and given its sizeable young labor force and substantial agricultural and manufacturing capacity, a major regional exporter. This note attempts to highlight the potential economic impact of BRI on the Tajik economy. It looks at how, if fully implemented globally, the BRI is expected to achieve better transport connections and greater economic integration of participating BRI countries, discusses improvements in Tajikistan’s cross-border ...
