Volume

2003 ISBN 9789211091441

Description

This update to the World Economic and Social Survey 2002 offers a unique insight into current trends and policies in the world economy. This report looks at the world economy in 2002 and identifies priorities for 2003. The report states that the present global economic weakness could be aggravated by prevailing uncertainties. Bringing about a robust and sustained recovery in world economic growth should therefore be the top priority for macroeconomic policies in most economies in 2003. Over the long run, further structural reforms continue to be needed so that both national economies and the international trade and financial systems contribute to higher and more balanced growth.

Volume

2004 ISBN 9789211091465

Description

An overview of the world economic situation and prospects, this thematic report from the United Nations Development Policy and Analysis Division focuses on 2004. Many of the forces responsible for dramatic growth in the previous decade are now absent or not strong enough to produce such robust performance. While global trade is projected by to grow, it is unlikely that the buoyancy of pre-2000 years will be repeated, especially given setbacks in the Doha round of trade negotiations. The recovery of foreign direct investment will be similarly subdued, as will rebounding investment in information technologies. The dampening effects of geopolitical tensions and threats of international terrorism are more prevalent than in the years immediately before 2001.Therefore, the report urges careful measures to nurture the recovery and avoid a precipitous unwinding of international imbalances.

Volume

2005 ISBN 9789211091489

Description

This joint report reviews recent performance and short term prospects for the world economy and considers some key global economic policy and development issues. Findings include that growth of gross world product (GWP) increased by four per cent in 2004, compared with a rate of 2.8 per cent in 2003 and a forecast of 3.25 per cent for 2005. Growth in the developing countries was the fastest for more than two decades, with output in transition economies continued to increase more rapidly than in other major country groups. Among developed countries performance was more varied, with growth rates strong in North America, moderate in Japan and weak in Europe.

Volume

2006 ISBN 9789211091502

Description

The world economy is expected to continue to grow at a rate of 3 per cent during 2006. The United States economy remains the main engine of global economic growth, but the growth of China, India and a few other large developing economies is becoming increasingly important. On average, developing economies are expected to expand at a rate of 5.6 per cent and the economies in transition at 5.9 per cent, despite the fact that these economies may face larger challenges during 2006. Driven by higher oil prices, inflation rates have edged up worldwide. Core inflation rates, which exclude the prices of energy and food, have been more stable, indicating that the pass-through of higher oil prices to overall inflation is limited.

Volume

2007 ISBN 9789211091533

Description

World Economic Situation and Prospects is a joint product of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the five United Nations regional commissions. It provides an overview of recent global economic performance and short-term prospects for the world economy and of some key global economic policy and development issues. One of its purposes is to serve as a point of reference for discussions on economic, social and related issues taking place in various United Nations entities during the year. According to this year's report, the world economy is expected to moderate in 2007 after three years of historically high growth. The cooling of the US housing boom, a major factor in the global slowdown, is expected to slow the growth of the US economy, and the economic recovery in Japan and Europe is not strong enough to replace the US as the engine for growth of the world economy. However, the strength of US corporate finances leads the report to conclude that "the current situation need not degenerate into a recession
