Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy In addition to the discussion of current trends and policies in the world economy, World Economic Survey 1986 contains three special chapters (V, VI and VII): chapter V covers the increasingly clear interactions between systemic issues in trade, money and finance; chapter VI covers the effects of adjustment policies on capital formation in developing countries, centrally planned economies and some major developed market economies; and chapter VII covers the major development challenge posed by the economic crisis in sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

World Economic and Social Survey 1984

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy After the most protracted global economic recession since the 1930s, the prospects for sustained and broad-based growth are still not satisfactory. This unresolved issue is the focus of World Economic Survey 1984. A major development in 1983 was the recovery in North America. The recovery of the developed market economies as a whole is expected to become more widespread this year, but further strengthening beyond 1984 is uncertain. Supplement to World Economic Survey 1984 The Supplement to World Economic Survey 1984 comprises three studies: exchange rate volatility in an interdependent world economy; some changes in trade among developing… World Economic and Social Survey 1984

World Economic and Social Survey 1983

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy According to World Economic Survey 1983, the world economy remained in the grip of recession during 1982 and is only now beginning, in a few places, to show some signs of recovery. The unexpectedly severe contraction in demand that ensued from the anti-inflationary policies set in train by major industrial countries in 1979 and 1980 had brought about a sharp curtailment in the growth of world production and trade in 1981, and the deflationary impact of such policies was aggravated in 1982. In the developing countries as a group, output failed to increase for the first time in the post-war period. Supplement to World Economic Survey 1983 The… World Economic and Social Survey 1983

World Economic and Social Survey 1982

Current Trends and Policies in the World Economy World Economic Survey 1981-1982 observes that economic expansion decelerated markedly throughout the world in 1981. The slowdown affected all major regions and groups of countries, independently of their level of development or economic structure. The deceleration was particularly intense in the developing countries, most of which experienced a significant fall in per capita income. The major factor behind the poor performance of the world economy was the recession in the Western industrial countries, where low growth caused a rise in unemployment, downward pressure on wages, and weakening primary commodity prices.
