World Economic and Social Survey 2001
The World Economic and Social Survey offers unique insight and
commentary on current trends and policies in the world economy. The Survey
is essential to the business world and macroeconomic decision makers. Part I
contains the forecasts of short-term global and regional growth, trade and
finance trends, including the net transfer of resources to developing
countries. Part II provides a broad discussion of vulnerabilities, such as
in trade and finance, that hinder or even impede the catch-up modernization
process of many developing countries and economies in transition. It also
lays out policies and institutions to facilitate policy-making in these
countries and expedite the development process with less uncertainty.
