Pre-release of World Economic Situation and Prospects 2011

This year was characterized by a fragile recovery in the economy. In fact, in mid-2010, the economic growth started to decelerate, and all indicators point at a weaker economic growth for the upcoming year. The expected economic expansion of 3.1 per cent in 2011 and 3.5 per cent in 2012 will not be sufficient to enable recovering the jobs lost because of the crisis.
