The World Economic Situation and Prospects 2010 cautions that although the world economy is on the mend, the recovery is uneven and conditions for sustained growth remain fragile. The risk of a double-dip recession remains.

The report also highlights a number of risks and uncertainties to the outlook, including a premature exit from the stimulus measures and a hard landing of the dollar due to the renewed widening of the global imbalances. In terms of policy measures, the report recommends continued fiscal stimulus measures in the short run, a continued focus on the rebalancing of economic growth in a number of respects, better policy coordination, strengthened global governance and more decisive reforms of the global financial system.
