• The World Economic Outlook (WEO) is a report from the International Monetary Fund that presents output, inflation, employment, budget balances and debt statistics for member countries.

  • The report, best known for its global growth forecasts, summarizes the state of the world economy and highlights the most important events of recent times.
  • The IMF publishes the WEO report twice a year based on data obtained through consultations with member governments.
  • The IMF also publishes two additional and less comprehensive WEOs per year, each three months after the main WEO report.
