Little of this international attention has considered the broad range of development challenges facing this diverse group of countries. Breaking the Barriers reflects the collected thinking of the World Bank's Office of the Chief Economist for the MENA Region on the long-term development challenges facing the region and the reform priorities and strategies for effectively meeting these challenges.World Bank e-Library.Economic developmentPolitical aspectsMiddle EastEconomic developmentPolitical aspectsAfrica, NorthMacroeconomicsMiddle EastEconomic conditionsAfrica, NorthEconomic conditionsMiddle EastEconomic policyAfrica, NorthEconomic policyEconomic developmentPolitical aspectsEconomic developmentPolitical aspectsMacroeconomics.338.956Nabli Mustapha K122537MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964256703321Breaking the barriers to higher economic growth4550846UNINA
