The Middle East and North Africa and the Caucasus and Central Asia regions are positively impacted by the resilience of the global economy. Lower global commodity prices and vigilant policy responses have helped ease inflation in most countries.

This is leading to an uneven recovery across the Middle East and Central Asia, with growth rates varying this year.
