World Economic and Social Survey 1980

World Economic Survey 1980-1981 discusses the deterioration in the performance of the world economy in 1980, which was accompanied by a marked slowdown in the expansion of world trade, worsened imbalances in current accounts and an acceleration in the pace of inflation. Although some recovery in growth rates is anticipated beginning in late 1981, the pace is not expected to be vigorous. The poorer medium-term trend that has been in evidence since the mid-1970s is thus likely to continue. Download full report World Economic and Social Survey 1980

World Economic and Social Survey 1979-80

World Economic Survey 1979-1980 observes that the present world economic situation is characterized by a slow pace of economic advance in most countries, which is expected to weaken further in the coming months, particularly in developed market economies. This is accompanied by high rates of price inflation (which are pervading all economies) and substantial changes in the pattern of current-account balances, occasioned principally by the doubling of the price of oil between the end of 1978 and the early months of 1980.

World Economic and Social Survey 1978

According to World Economic Survey 1978, the pace of world economic activity weakened in 1978. In developing countries, in particular, the trends towards lower rates of growth in output observed since 1975 were accentuated. The developed market economies continued to grapple with problems of insufficient recovery in productive investment. In the centrally planned economies, growth was restrained by external imbalances and international bottlenecks, especially in the energy and transport sectors. Supplement to World Economic Survey 1978 The Supplement to World Economic Survey 1978 contains a study on "The Expansion of Exports from Developing Countries and Policies of Structural Adjustment… World Economic and Social Survey 1978

World Economic and Social Survey 1977

World Economic Survey 1977 highlights a widespread uncertainty and unease about prospects for the world economy in 1978 and even over a longer time span. Although domestic income and output in 1977 and early 1978 have been continuing to increase in most countries, the pace has been moderating recently and shows no signs of quickening in the immediate future. For most countries?developing as well as developed?prospects are seen to depend quite heavily on events external to their domestic economy. Download full report World Economic and Social Survey 1977
