ASIA’S PRODUCTIVITY

Asia’s strong economic rebound from the pandemic is losing steam as tightening financial conditions, reduced export demand, and China’s sharp and uncharacteristic slowdown dim the outlook.
More broadly, deep economic scars from the pandemic and the lackluster productivity growth that preceded it are weighing on the region’s longer-term growth prospects.
“Facilitating equal access to technologies across firms, industries, and workers will help the region fully benefit from the economic boost that digitization offers,” she says.

MANAGING DIRECTOR INTERVIEW
All countries benefit from trade integration
The world must pay more attention to security of supplies in global trade, but countries should not go beyond this by retreating into rival trading camps, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva told CBS News’ “Face the Nation”. All countries have benefited from a tripling in the size of the world economy as a result of closer integration, Georgieva said in the interview, which also covered the global outlook for growth and inflation, debt distress, China, and Ukraine.
FINANCE & DEVELOPMENT

European governments have started to implement a range of policy responses. An assessment of the available policy options leads to a clear conclusion. The approach that best addresses both problems is a coordinated effort by governments to reduce energy demand and increase supply while keeping internal energy markets open and protecting vulnerable consumers.
“The energy crisis poses an immense challenge that no European state can navigate alone.”
“Greedy jobs” often force women to choose between their families or their careers, Betsey Stevenson, a labor economist at the University of Michigan, told the IMF podcast series on extraordinary Women in Economics.
