World Economic Outlook: WEO presents the staff's analysis of prospects for the global economy, major country groups (classified by region and stage of development), and many individual countries. Each issue reports on developments in global financial markets, economic governance, and critical policy issues. WEO tracks key indicators such as output growth, inflation, employment, government debt, current account balances, savings, and financial flows. Published twice a year as documentation for meetings of the International Monetary and Financial Committee, it has become a highly trusted resource for decisions makers worldwide.

Global Financial Stability Report: GESR provides expert and up-to-date analysis of global capital flows that play a critical role in world economic growth and financial stability. The Report focuses on current conditions in global financial markets, analyzing financial imbalances and structural issues that could pose risks to stability and sustained market access by emerging market borrowers.

Fiscal Monitor: With increasing fiscal challenges in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, multilateral surveillance of fiscal developments, a key part of the IMF's surveillance responsibilities, has gained further importance. In response, the Fiscal Monitor was launched in 2009 to analyze the latest public finance developments and medium-term fiscal projections, and to assess policies aimed at placing public finances on a sustainable footing.

Regional Economic Outlooks: The Regional Economic Outlooks are the premier source for understanding the latest economic developments in countries around the world. Some reports and updates are scheduled for release every six months, with individual editions covering Europe, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East and Central Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. Each Report focuses on recent policy developments that have affected economic performance, and identifies the key challenges faced by policy-makers in individual countries. Expert analysis of the latest country-specific data gathered by the IMF allows these Reports to provide accurate near-term outlooks and to explore in-depth the risks a region's economics will face.
