Global economic growth will ease notably this year amid higher inflation, tighter monetary policy and a reduction in fiscal stimulus. Downside risks include persistently high inflation forcing faster-than-expected rate hikes by central banks and further stop-start Covid-19 restrictions in China, as well as the evolution of the war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia.

Regional growth will ease notably this year, as elevated inflation and interest rates dampen domestic demand. However, the receding impact of the pandemic, returning tourism flows and sky-high prices for key agricultural and energy commodities will provide support. Currency outflows, lockdowns in China, new Covid-19 variants and sociopolitical unrest are risks.
June 16, 2022
Regional economic growth should moderate in 2022 as a tougher base effect, tighter monetary policy and the impacts of the war in Ukraine weigh on activity. Rising global energy and food commodity prices are pushing up inflation, denting consumer spending and remittance inflows. However, lower unemployment levels should support private consumption somewhat.
June 22, 2022
The pace of regional GDP growth should accelerate this year, after a subdued 2021. Tighter labor markets, accumulated savings and easing Covid-19 curbs should support household spending, while reduced border restrictions will drive tourist inflows. However, the outlook remains clouded by China’s strict Covid-19 policy, global supply constraints and high inflation.
June 22, 2022
The regional economy will lose steam this year. Covid-19 restrictions and a weak property sector will weigh on activity in China, spilling over to neighbors in the form of supply disruptions and softer export demand. In the region excluding China, rising interest rates and inflation could also dampen consumption and investment. A prolonged Chinese slowdown is a key risk.

Regional growth was revised slightly upwards over the past month, as the outlook in Romania improved on a strong Q1 outturn and despite the war in Ukraine. However, regional growth will be constrained by supply chain issues, and international sanctions placed on Russia weighing on tourism and trade. Moreover, household spending will be dented by elevated inflation.

June 8, 2022
In 2022, regional price growth should slow from 2021, although this is mainly on reductions in the extremely elevated inflation rates of Iran, Lebanon and Yemen. Most countries will actually experience higher inflation this year due to stronger GDP growth and higher food and fuel prices. Extreme weather and potential food shortages due to war in Ukraine are upside risks.
June 22, 2022
Regional economic growth should cool this year. The impacts of higher commodity prices due to the war in Ukraine—greater inflation and a bigger import bill—will weigh on activity. Household consumption is further dented by high unemployment. Moreover, the war will also balloon public debt ratios and could place many countries on the brink of debt distress.
