Global Economic Outlook: Developing Countries' Growth Trends

Explore the improved growth momentum in developing countries over the past six months, amid diverse financial and commodity market conditions.

Gain insights on industrial and developing regions' growth rates from 1995-2002, along with short-term interest rates and high-income countries' import volume growth. Understand the impact of oil and non-oil prices on capital market flows and GDP growth forecasts for different world regions.
