【 摘 要 】
The pickup in economic activity in the Middle East and North Africa(MENA) region is expected to continue in 2018 and 2019. MENA's oil exporters and oil importersboth are benefitting from improved global growth; increased trade with trading partners in Europeand Asia; more stabilized commodity markets, especially oil; and some reforms undertaken in theregion. The World Bank estimates that growth will accelerate to above 3 percent in 2019. Growth,however, remains below potential as crises and conflicts continue to damage output and reduceemployment. While MENA has experienced more frequent conflicts than any other part of the world,by its magnitude, the refugee crisis represents something new. The protracted stay of refugees inhosting communities, now in its sixth year, not only has increased the risk to MENA's economicoutlook but also has brought refugees' long-term development challenges to the forefront. Meetingthese enormous challenges requires collective efforts.
