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 macroeconomic outlook for sub-Saharan Africa continues to strengthen. Growth is expected to increase from 2.7 percent in 2017 to 3.1 percent in 2018, reflecting domestic policy adjustments and a supportive external environment, including continued steady growth in the global economy, higher commodity prices, and accommodative external financing conditions. Inflation is abating; and fiscal imbalances are being contained in many countries. Over the medium term, and on current policies, growth is expected to accelerate to about 4 percent, too low to create the number of jobs needed to absorb anticipated new entrants into labor markets.

Brazil is at crossroads, emerging slowly from a historic recession that was preceded by a huge economic boom.

Demonstrates that the global upswing in economic activity is strengthening, and that global growth, which in 2016 was the weakest since the global financial crisis at 3.2 percent, is projected to rise to 3.7 percent in 2018. The growth forecast for 2018 is 0.1 percentage point stronger compared with projections earlier this year.
