Global Economic Outlook

OCP Policy Center, Rabat

OCP Policy Center is organizing a presentation on the Global Economic Outlook by Dr. Uri Dadush, Senior Fellow at the OCP Policy Center on November 08, 2017 at the OCP Policy Center in Rabat. 

The global economy is in the midst of a broadly-based period of moderate growth, the most robust since the financial crisis struck in 2008. Imbalances in the largest economies appear to be manageable, and, since momentum is still building, growth is likely to persist well into next year. However, large and disparate groups are not participating in the global upswing. These include many commodity-dependent nations, those countries beset by conflicts and political instability, and unskilled workers in several countries whose wages are stagnant. In the short-term there is a considerable likelihood that global economic growth could accelerate further, helping everyone. However, in the longer term – beyond 2018 – the global economy faces large downside risks. The most important of these is protectionism. This session of the OCP Policy Center’s Global Outlook will address these issues and also discuss some implications for Morocco.
