The five Regional Economic Outlooks published biannually by the IMF cover Asia and Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Western Hemisphere.
In each volume:
- Recent economic developments and prospects for the region are discussed as a whole, as well as for specific countries.
- The reports include key data for countries in the region.
- Each report focuses on policy developments that have affected economic performance in the region, and discusses key challenges faced by policymakers.
- The near-term outlook, key risks, and their related policy challenges are analyzed throughout the reports.
- Current issues are explored, such as when and how to withdraw public interventions in financial systems globally while maintaining a still-fragile economic recovery.
These surveys are the product of comprehensive intradepartmental reviews of economic developments that draw primarily on information the IMF staff gathers through consultation with member countries.
