Regional Economic Outlook: Europe
According to the latest Regional Economic Outlook for Europe, a soft landing is within reach but executing it will require careful monetary policy calibration. Fiscal policy needs to create buffers to tackle future shocks. Raising growth beyond the near-term recovery needs efforts to build more integrated markets with reforms needed at both domestic and regional levels.
Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Economic Outlook
The latest economic outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa finds the region is gradually improving, after four turbulent years. However, not all is favorable, and risks remain tilted to the downside. Sub-Saharan African countries will need additional support from the international community to develop a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future.
Middle East and Central Asia Regional Economic Outlook
The Middle East and North Africa and the Caucasus and Central Asia regions are positively impacted by the resilience of the global economy. Lower global commodity prices and vigilant policy responses have helped ease inflation in most countries. However, uncertainty and risks have risen amid ongoing conflicts, shipping disruptions, and reduced oil production. This is leading to an uneven recovery across the Middle East and Central Asia, with growth rates varying this year.

Strong policy action is needed to fortify the landing zone and deliver lasting prosperity for all. Read the latest Global Policy Agenda.
