Global Economic Prospects
Report on global economic prospects with forecasts, outlook on the global economy and regional reports with extensive economic data and forecasts.

Global growth disappointed again in 2015, slowing to 2.4 percent, and is expected to recover at a slower pace than previously envisioned. Growth is projected to reach 2.9 percent in 2016, as a modest recovery in advanced economies continues and activity stabilizes among major commodity exporters, according to the World Bank’s January 2016 Global Economic Prospects. Forecasts are subject to substantial downside risks. A more protracted slowdown across large emerging markets could have substantial spillovers to other developing economies, and eventually hold back the recovery in advanced economies. A broad-based slowdown across developing countries could pose a threat to hard-won gains in raising people out of poverty, the report warns.
