What is the economic outlook for the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAAP) region? How is the ongoing conflict affecting growth, inflation, and economic stability across the region? What are the implications for countries facing rising energy prices, declining trade, and heightened uncertainty? And, more broadly, how can economies in the region strengthen resilience and sustain growth amid these challenges?
