Abstract

Investment growth slowed in the past decade in all emerging market and developing economy (EMDE)regions, but most sharply in East Asia and the Pacific (EAP) and the Middle East and North Africa (MNA). Yet, pressinginvestment needs remain. All regions need to boost infrastructure investment and investment in mitigating andadapting to climate change and reversing pandemic-related learning losses. In other areas, investment needs vary byregion. They include accommodating high and rising urbanization (EAP, Latin America and the Caribbean [LAC], South Asia [SAR]); boosting productivity, especially in sectors that employ large proportions of the population (forexample, agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa [SSA]);rebuilding after conflict (Europe and Central Asia [ECA],MNA, SSA); improving trade linkages (LAC); and preparing for future public health crises. Across all EMDE regions, policypriorities include strengthening the efficiency of public investment, boosting private investment (especially in ECA,LAC, and MNA), and expanding the availability of finance for investment (especially in SSA, LAC).
