Editorial: The policy challenges: now and in the long term
After five years of crisis, the global economy is weakening again. In this we are not facing a new pattern. Over the recent past, signs of emergence from the crisis have more than once given way to a renewed slowdown or even a double-dip recession in some countries.

A slowdown has surfaced in many emerging market economies, partly reflecting the impact of the recession in Europe.
