The mid-year update of the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2023 <\/em><\/strong>will provide the latest assessment of the global economic situation, discuss major macroeconomic developments since the launch of the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2023 in January, and present prospects for growth in these uncertain times.<\/p>\n

The update highlights that while the slowdown in global growth in 2023 is likely to be less severe than previously expected, against a backdrop of multiple interconnected crises and heighted macroeconomic uncertainties, monetary and fiscal policy challenges have further intensified. It further elaborates that at the moment, policymakers are facing a complex economic context, where macroeconomic policies need to be carefully calibrated to strike a balance between taming inflation, ensuring financial stability supporting economic growth and employment, and managing the consequences of international spillovers.<\/p>\n
