Global Economic Prospects: Low-Income Countries in the 21st Century
videoDescription
The first years of this century presented big opportunities for emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). Today, they account for nearly half of global GDP, up from about 25 percent in 2000. But the pace of growth in these economies has slowed in recent years, and the road ahead presents challenges that could lead to slower growth. What can these countries do to take advantage of good opportunities? Dana Vorisek, Lead Economist with the World Bank’s Prospects Group, explores the findings from the latest Global Economic Prospects report.
description
Since 2000, 39 low-income countries have graduated to middle-income status. But the 26 low-income countries today face more daunting prospects for economic growth. Under current trends, only six are on course to graduate by 2050. But with the right policies, these countries could draw on opportunities to unlock their untapped growth potential. Joseph Mawejje, Economist with the World Bank’s Prospects Group, draws from the latest Global Economic Prospects report to explain what these countries can learn from past success stories.
