Summary:

Strong economic performance across the Middle East and Central Asia is examined against the background of high prices for energy and other commodities.

This latest REO includes boxes treating specific regional topics, such as financial sector reforms and integration in Maghreb countries; economic developments in oil-exporting countries in response to changes in petroleum prices; and the growth boom in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
