Global EconomicProspects
Uncertainties and Vulnerabilities
1
Global environment has become much more precarious
• Turmoil since August has affected financial conditions in developing countries and economic activity worldwide
• Slow growth in large‐middle‐income countries and high‐income Europe makes recovery fragile
• Developing countries to grow in 2012 by 5.4 %, high‐income countries by 1.4% (vs June forecast of 6.2 and 2.7%)
• Baseline assumes no serious deterioration of conditions, should this materialize impacts for developing countries could be much worse
• Developing countries are vulnerable because of:– Reduced fiscal space– Maturing short‐term and long‐term debt– Potential deleveraging by banks in high‐income world– Weaker export demand and remittances flows– Commodity prices

Biggest drops (y/y)

Real economy has slowed and recovery looks fragile
• Diverging trends: Strength in US and Japan; policy induced slowdown in large MIC; Europe entering recession; modest growth elsewhere
• Global trade has sharply weakened; driven by falling European imports
• Slow growth in Europe and several middle‐income countries could be self‐reinforcing

Developing countries at risk from a deterioration of conditions in high‐income countries
• Baseline shows significant markdown since June, assuming limited confidence effects outside Europe
• Much more serious consequences could be envisaged, if financial-sector solvency is affected or a market-induced credit event occurs.
• Downside scenarios necessarily speculative, but potentially as significant as 2008/09

GDP growth, 2012 various scenarios
Notes: Baseline assumes muddling through; scenario 1 assumes an additional freezing out from capital markets of two small Euro Area economies equal to around 3‐4 percent of Euro Area GDP; Scenario 2 assumes crisis spreads to 1‐2 larger European countries whosetotal weight equals around 30 percent of Euro Area GDP.

Developing countries are more vulnerable to a renewed crisis than in 2008
• Policy response constrained by reduced fiscal space• Countries with large amounts of ST and maturing LT debt should seek to refinance early to limit effects of a potential freezing of capital markets.
• Countries should stress‐test their banking systems, especially if credit has grown rapidly in recent years or they are heavily reliant on wholesale financing.
• Commodity exporters could be hurt by collapse in commodity prices
• Remittance dependent countries may also be vulnerable

Developing countries should prepare for the possibility of a serious downturn
• Engage in contingency planning and prioritize spending programs in case financing freezes up
• Stress‐test domestic banking sector• Avoid trade disputes and allow commodity prices to decline with weaker activity
• Longer‐term need to identify new drivers for growth
Concluding remarks
• The global recovery is at a difficult juncture with significant downside risks.
• Slow growth in large middle‐income countries and financial turmoil in Europe are generating headwinds.
• A sharp deterioration in conditions could imply a cycle as large as the 2008/09 crisis – potentially longer lasting because of reduced policy space.
• Developing countries activity will be vulnerable to varying degrees to:– A further decline in international capital flows;
– Reduced exports; falling commodity prices or remittance levels;
– A reduction in international aid
