Europe & Central Asia: On the road to high income? L'Éco du Monde #2
Published on
In Europe and Central Asia, ten countries that have reached high-income status since 1990 have joined the European Union. Another 20 in the region have become more prosperous but their transition to high-income status has been delayed. What challenges are they facing? How can they overcome the obstacles to growth and achieve progress toward high-income status?
AFD’s Chief Economist Thomas Melonio welcomes Ivailo Izvorski, Chief Economist for Europe and Central Asia at the World Bank, to discuss the findings of the report “Greater Heights: Growing to High Income in Europe and Central Asia”.
Subtitles are available in the player settings.
Hosted by AFD’s Chief Economist, the video series “L’Éco du Monde” (The World Economy) offers insights and discussions with researchers and practitioners on major development issues. Its goal: to understand today’s world and shed light on tomorrow’s decisions — on topics such as development finance, global economic dynamics, ecological transition, and inequality. All episodes are available on AFD's YouTube channel.
