Prospects for developing countries have
improved considerably in the past six months finds the World
Bank's just-released "Global Development Finance
2000." Industrial country output and world trade growth
have become stronger and more broadly based. Although prices
for primary commodities have firmed, inflationary pressures
in the world economy remain contained. And while interest
rates in some industrial countries have risen, spreads on
lending to developing countries have fallen sharply--and
capital flows to developing countries have stabilized.
Developing countries grew an estimated 3.3 percent in 1999,
up 0.6 percentage points from the estimate in last
fall's "Global Economic Prospects" and more
than twice the pace in 1998 (table 1). Developing country
growth is expected to rise to 4.5-5.0 percent in 2000-02.
During the recent financial crisis 45 developing countries
containing 1.6 billion people experienced a drop in per
capita income. But in 2000 those numbers are expected to
fall to 14 countries with 140 million people. Still, the
developing world's adjustment to the recent crisis is
far from complete. Growth in 2000-02 will likely remain
below trends before the crisis because frailties exposed and
exacerbated by the crisis will take time to address.
Moreover, the process of recovery varies greatly by country. |
