The World Bank's latest economic update, titled "A New State of Mind: Greater Transparency and Accountability in the Middle East and North Africa" finds that the region's oil exporting countries are benefitting from high hydrocarbon prices, but oil importing nations confront different circumstances. Oil importers face heightened stress and risk from higher import bills, especially for food and energy, and tightening fiscal space as they spend more on price subsidies to cushion the pain of price rises on their populations.

At this online seminar, Ernest Sergenti, Senior Economist and Hoda Assem, Consultant, Office of the Chief Economist for Middle East and North Africa, World Bank, shared the main findings of the report.

Date/Time:

8am-9am, Friday, November 18, 2022 (Japan Standard Time)

Ernest Sergenti
Senior Economist, Office of the Chief Economist for Middle East and North Africa, World Bank
