1989 World Economic Survey 1989?Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy According to World Economic Survey 1989, global economic growth in 1988 confounded expectations. Not only was the expansion of world output larger than expected, but international trade and investments grew vigorously. However, this expansion failed to spread to many developing countries, particularly those in Africa and Latin America, which continued to stagnate or to grow very slowly.

World Economic and Social Survey 1988

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy World Economic Survey 1988 highlights the dramatic financial shocks and instability in primary commodity markets, including oil, in 1987, which seem to have had only minor repercussions on the growth of output. The Survey includes a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the indebtedness and persistent fiscal and external imbalances of developed countries on the global environment and, in particular, on the development process of developing countries.

World Economic and Social Survey 1987

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy According to World Economic Survey 1987, the modest expansion that characterized the world economy during most of the first half of the 1980s persisted in 1986. Inflation has decelerated considerably and industrial countries are entering their fifth year of expansion, though at a slow pace. Indeed, the world economy appears to be set in a slow growth path, which is likely to delay the great adjustments required at the national and international levels.

World Economic and Social Survey 1985

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy The crucial role of international trade in reinforcing global demand was evident in 1984, as the growth of world output gradually regained the pace of the late 1970s. Yet the geographical spread of the recovery remained limited, and economic growth in half of the developing countries was still so low that income per capita either continued to fall or stagnated. This uneven recovery, its sources and the policies conditioning its transmission, as well its short-term prospects, are the focus of World Economic Survey 1985.
