The International Monetary Fund (IMF) sees unemployment as an engine for demonstrations in Arab countries

 

- Two Hours Have Passed
 

%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%

 

Unemployment along with sluggish economic growth has driven demonstrations in several Arab countries, the International Monetary Fund said on Monday, as Iraq, Lebanon and other countries are protesting against corruption and economic decline.
Social tensions in Arab countries are one of several factors that have kept economic growth in the region weak, the IMF said in a report on economic performance in the region.

Two weeks ago, the IMF expected growth in the Middle East and North Africa to be only 0.1 percent, from 1.2 percent in April, reflecting weakness in the economies of a crisis-ridden region.

Jihad Azour, the fund's director for the Middle East and Central Asia, said: "Growth levels in the region are below what is needed to tackle unemployment."

"We are in an area where the youth unemployment rate exceeds 25 to 30 percent, and tackling this needs growth between 1 and 2 percent," he said.

Lebanon has witnessed more than ten days of mass demonstrations condemning corruption and economic deterioration, and demanding political change and job opportunities.

In Iraq, thousands are taking part in demonstrations for the same reasons, as part of a protest movement that has killed and injured hundreds. Demonstrations are taking place in Sudan, Algeria, Egypt and other countries.

The region has witnessed massive protests in 2011 called the “Arab Spring” to demand political and economic reforms, but it has clashed with wars that have flared in Syria and Libya in particular.

Lebanon's economy is suffering from a sharp decline, a rising deficit and a trade imbalance.

Azour said that the government should "work quickly to rectify these imbalances and restore confidence (citizens) by reforming the financial situation and reducing spending."

The IMF also warned in a report Monday that government debt rates have become too high in some countries in the region, exceeding the 85 percent threshold for GDP as a whole, and more than 150 percent in Lebanon and Iraq.

“The cost of debt is high, and it prevents the investments necessary for the region's long-term economic future,” the IMF said.

- A severe economic recession

This month, the IMF sharply lowered its growth forecast for Saudi Arabia and Iran, the two largest economies in the Middle East, on the back of US sanctions, regional tensions and falling oil prices.

The IMF predicted Iran's economy to contract by 9.5 percent in 2019 after forecasting a 6 percent contraction in April, with the Saudi economy to grow 0.2 percent against a previous forecast of 1.9 percent.

This is the worst expected performance of the Iranian economy since 1984, when the Islamic Republic was at war with Iraq.

It is also the worst growth forecast for the rich kingdom since the Saudi economy shrank by 0.7 percent in 2017.

The IMF said in its report on Monday that the Iranian economy has entered a period of "severe economic recession."

A 3 percent drop in forecasts between April and October suggests a significant deterioration in Iran's economy since the United States began tightening sanctions on Iran's oil sector in May.

Iran's economy contracted in 2018 by 4.8 percent.

Saudi Arabia, one of the world's top oil exporters, has cut government subsidies on fuel, imposed taxes on foreigners working on its territory, a 5 percent value-added tax and raised prices for soft drinks, energy drinks and tobacco.

At the end of September, Fitch announced a downgrade of Saudi Arabia's credit rating by one notch due to "geopolitical and military tensions in the Gulf region" after unprecedented attacks on two oil facilities in the kingdom.

28th October, 2019

 

Unemployment and slow economic growth are fueling social tension and popular protests in many Arab countries, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Monday.

"As for the economic outlook, the turmoil is contributing to a slowdown in growth in the MENA region, along with global trade tensions, oil price volatility and the Brexit process," the Daily Mail said in an IMF report.

"The economic outlook for the Middle East for 2019 fell to 0.1 percent from 1.1 percent last year and the IMF has lowered its forecast for the three largest economies in the region for Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE, '' he said. Earlier this month tended to be negative and largely dependent on global factors.”

Jihad Azour, director of the International Monetary Fund for the Middle East and Central Asia, said that the level of growth experienced by the countries of the region is less than what is needed to tackle unemployment. 2 per cent “to bring about a decline in the unemployment rate”.

"The unemployment rate in the Middle East has reached 11 percent, especially among women and youth, with 18 percent of women without jobs since 2018, '' the IMF report said.

The report pointed out that “public debt levels are very high in many Arab countries - exceeding 85 percent of GDP on average, with rates exceeding 150 percent in Lebanon and Sudan,” noting that “new waves of demonstrations in Algeria, Sudan, Iraq and Lebanon. They all demand economic reforms and actions against corruption.”
