May 14, 2018--The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) today issued the Criteria for identifying simple, transparent and comparable short-term securitisations (the short-term STC criteria), which are available on the BCBS and IOSCO websites.

IMF Regional Economic Outlook Update: Middle East and Central Asia

May 11, 2018-- Summary
Growth is improving in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP) region and was stronger than expected last year in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) region. However, the regions are not fully benefitting from the stronger global outlook.

In MENAP, the fragile recovery requires further reforms that will help diversify economies, create jobs, and secure resilience.

Meanwhile, the growth momentum in the CCA is temporary, which is why action is needed now to spur private-sector development, so that the region avoids a new reality of low growth.
