The Challenges are Many the Opportunities are More

The Challenges are Many the Opportunities are More
We have all been, and still are, transfixed by the prodemocracy movements in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. These political changes bring challenges and also the possibility of tremendous economic opportunities to boost the growth of the living standards of the people of the region.

To have a better perspective of what these challenges and opportunities are and how the new governments could better achieve their mission, the World Bank has published a report entitled MENA Facing Challenges and Opportunities. It was prepared under the guidance of our guest Caroline Freund, World Bank Chief Economist, MENA Region. Caroline is also the author of a fascinating blog entitled Transitions Can Be Good for Growth.
