The update finds that the global outlook has weakened and is uncertain, but concludes that China is likely to grow robustly in 2008 and is well-positioned to stimulate demand if needed. The report also includes an explanation of how the recently released improved estimates of China's GDP affect our understanding of country economies and of poverty rates. Discuss the report with Louis Kuijs, Senior Economist and author of the report, and David Dollar, World Bank Country Director for China. The live discussion will be held on February 19, 2008 at 10pm in Beijing, China, which is 9am in Washington, DC (EST) and 14:00 UTC/GMT.]]> David Dollar, Louis Kuijs Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:00:00 +0100 Louis Kuijs http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/expert/detail/5227/ Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:45:00 +0100 Derek Byerlee http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/expert/detail/5183/ Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:30:00 +0100 World Development Report 2008 http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/interview/detail/5184/ Derek Byerlee Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:00:00 +0100 Dan Biller http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/expert/detail/5105/ Wed, 25 Apr 2007 14:00:00 +0100 East Asia Update http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/interview/detail/5004/ Dan Biller, Milan Brahmbhatt Mon, 07 May 2007 14:00:00 +0100 Emmanuel Skoufias http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/expert/detail/4950/ Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:45:00 +0100 Opportunities for Indigenous Peoples in Latin America http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/interview/detail/4949/ Emmanuel Skoufias, Harry Anthony Patrinos Thu, 08 Mar 2007 19:00:00 +0100 Fraud and Corruption http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/interview/detail/4811/ Suzanne Folsom Thu, 22 Feb 2007 15:00:00 +0100 Suzanne Folsom http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/expert/detail/4810/ Sat, 10 Feb 2007 16:45:00 +0100 Climate Change Call for Action http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/interview/detail/4751/ Bob Watson Mon, 20 Nov 2006 13:00:00 +0100 In this study, which is focused on Latin America, we have looked at the profile of the ... http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/answer/detail/4745/ Tue, 07 Nov 2006 15:45:00 +0100 Indeed, the Bank lends not only to safety nets but more generally to the social sectors: ... http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/answer/detail/4746/ Tue, 07 Nov 2006 15:45:00 +0100 Remittances are used by poor households to pay for food, nondurables, housing, and also for ... http://discuss.worldbank.org/content/answer/detail/4748/ Tue, 07 Nov 2006 15:45:00 +0100
