- Global Economic Prospects – Heightened Tensions, Subdued Investment12.80 MB
Global growth has continued to soften this year. Subdued investment in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is dampening potential growth prospects.
Risks to the outlook remain firmly on the downside, including the possibility of escalating trade tensions.
Another concern is rising debt, which may make it difficult for EMDEs to respond to adverse developments and to finance growth-enhancing investments. Reforms to boost private investment and productivity growth are needed, particularly in low-income countries, which face more significant challenges today than they did in the early 2000s.
