The edtion of the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) economic developments and prospects
reportsanalyzes the region's short-term growth
prospects given global forecasts and current structural
features of the economies, as well as the region's
prospects for longer-term growth based upon progress in
implementing comprehensive structural reforms. MENA region
has experienced exceptional growth over the last two years.
Over 2003 and 2004, economic growth in MENA averaged more
than 5.6 percent a year, the strongest growth in a decade,
and up strongly from the 3.6 percent average yearly growth
over the 1990s. On a per capita basis, the MENA
region's 3.5 percent average growth over the last two
years was the region's strongest growth performance
since the mid-1970s. Accompanying this strong growth
performance, unemployment has declined with the rise in oil
prices over 2000- 2004. Unemployment is estimated to have
fallen from about 14.9 percent of the labor force in 2000 to
13.4 percent currently, the result of a 37 percent increase
in the rate of employment creation over the 1990s. In many
respects, the MENA region is in the midst of an economic
boom. However, there are caveats to the region's growth
acceleration. For one, it has not been especially broad
based. Comparing growth over the 1990s with growth over the
last two years, 97 percent of the regional growth upturn was
driven by just four countries - Saudi Arabia, the Islamic
Republic of Iran, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates. In
fact, nearly half of the region actually experienced growth
downturns relative to the 1990s. Moreover, MENA's
recent positive economic developments have been driven
largely by external events - in particular, dramatically
rising oil prices. And importantly, on a per capita basis,
the MENA region's growth over the last two years
continues to lag that of other regions, a reflection of both
the firming of GDP growth rates across developing regions
and the MENA region's high population growth. |
