The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is expected to grow at 2.2% in 2024, yet the outlook remains subdued amid heightened uncertainty. In addition to examining the macroeconomic outlook of the region, this edition of the semi-annual MENA Economic Update, titled Growth in the Middle East and North Africa, includes an update on the economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East on the Palestinian economy, as well as the economies of the region and beyond. The report then looks at the long-term impacts that conflicts historically have had on economies in the region and identifies critical levers that countries in the region could employ to accelerate economic growth.
