Boosting Foreign Direct Investment and Supporting Countries in Fragile and Conflict Settings
Global growth is projected to slow to 2.3 percent in 2025, nearly half a percentage point lower than the rate that had been expected at the start of the year, according to the World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects report. In this episode of Expert Answers, we’ll unpack two special chapters of the report outlining trends that are making development more challenging. The first, dwindling flows of foreign direct investment. The second, the worsening plight of fragile and conflict-affected situations. Ayhan Kose, the World Bank Group’s Deputy Chief Economist and Director of the Prospects Group, joins Expert Answers to discuss the context of these challenges and paths forward.
