Alongside their devastating human toll, conflicts impose large & lasting economic costs. Economic activity drops sharply in conflict‑affected economies, down by 3% at onset & reaching cumulative losses of nearly 7% within 5 years. This exceeds the costs of financial crises and severe natural disasters. https://t.co/Lq0Dsa8Mmp
Fragility does not stop at the border. It impacts neighboring regions through cross-border insecurity, migration, refugee flows, and trade disruptions. Addressing fragility in any country supports broader global stability. More in our blog. https://t.co/GO2FLPf1jq

When States Break, Economies Follow
Fragility is a lens through which some of the most consequential risks to global stability come into focus. About 38 economies home to 1 billion people are fragile and #conflict-affected, while other emerging markets and richer countries suffer from social stress, inequality, polarization, or violence driven by organized crime. These forces fundamentally distort how economies operate. In a time of greater #geopolitical fragmentation, understanding the fragility spectrum is central to assessing country #risks and opportunities for anyone tracking the global economy.
In our new paper, we show what happens to economic performance when the forces of #fragility intensify. When institutions are weak, fiscal weakness creates self-reinforcing vulnerabilities, and shocks hit harder. We also look at what policies leaders can implement to strengthen the state and make it an enabler of growth and resilience.
