MENA's oil exporters and oil importers both are benefitting from improved global growth; increased trade with trading partners in Europe and Asia; more stabilized commodity markets, especially oil; and some reforms undertaken in the region.

Meeting these enormous challenges requires collective efforts. 2017-09-25T18:54:09Z 2017-09-25T18:54:09Z 2017-10-11 Serial 978-1-4648-1214-9 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28395 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, D.C.: World Bank Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Publication Middle East and North Africa Middle East North Africa
