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 countries, 1965-1980; and wage behaviour in the developed economies.
