Key points
- Key points:
- Our latest forecasts suggest that the region will grow by 0.7% in 2019, three tenths less than we thought three months ago.
- In 2020, we expect growth to increase moderately, and in almost all countries, supported by more accommodating monetary policy.
- But growth in the region will remain below that of developed economies, as has been the case for seven years.
