Abstract

Key MessagesExperts rate current economic uncertainty in their country as high, at 60.7 on a 0–100 scale on averageGeopolitical tensions and conflicts are considered the primary driver of uncertaintyKey structural vulnerabilities are weak institutional and governance frameworks, followed by high dependence on commodity importsOn average, experts estimate that uncertainty lowers expected GDP growth by 0.8 percentage pointsEconomies are seen as resilient where shocks can be buffered quickly but weak where resilience must be built over time
