October 1991
What are the prospects for the global economy? How has it fared in the aftermath of the Middle East crisis and the economic transformation of Eastern Europe?

It assesses key economic variables—global output and trade, inflation, and financial flows—and gives short-term prospects for both country groups, and medium-term prospects under alternative policy scenarios.
