World Economic Outlook - WEO

The World Economic Outlook, or WEO, is a biannual report put out by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) on the global economy. It takes a magnifying glass to policies of member countries and reports on shifts and developments in the general economy and financial markets. It also makes projections, which you’ve probably seen sensationalized by the media in headlines now and again.

In general, the WEO shakes its head at protectionist policies, things it can’t control (hello, climate change), and financially risky things (behave yourself, Wall Street). It’s a big undertaking, but someone’s gotta do it.
