ARAB MONETARY FUND RELEASES APRIL EDITION OF THE ARAB ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR 2021
Arab economies are expected to grow by 2.8 percent in 2021 and 3.6 percent in 2022 in light of the anticipated recovery of the global economy, the continuation of expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, and the positive impact of economic reforms
The recovery pace will vary according to the economic structures, health preparedness, policy space, and advances in digital transformation
In line with its continuous efforts to support policymakers in the Arab region, the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) releases the April edition of the "Arab Economic Outlook" report for 2021, which includes projections for the Arab countries' macroeconomic performance in 2021 and 2022.
With the availability of anti-virus vaccines, hopes for a gradual recovery of the global economy have revived, as the world economy is expected to grow by 4.5 and 3.8 percent in 2021 and 2022, respectively, according to the average of international institutions’ estimates. On the other hand, the international oil markets are expected to witness an increase in demand for oil by 5.8 million barrels per day during 2021 to support the gradual global economic recovery. This will work in conjunction with the continuation of the "OPEC+" agreement to reduce the quantities of oil produced on supporting its prices in international markets.
