China Economic Update, December 2025: Advancing Reforms, Enhancing Prospects
No full textChina’s economy maintained solid momentum in the third quarter of 2025, supported by accommodative policies that bolstered domestic consumption and investment, and by demand from developing countries that sustained exports. Growth is estimated at 4.9 percent in 2025 and projected at 4.4 percent in 2026 as existing headwinds are expected to persist. Recent fiscal measures, alongside some stability in global trade policy, are expected to support investment and exports. The country’s policy priority is to strengthen domestic demand amid uncertainty in the external environment while addressing structural headwinds that weigh on growth.
The Economic Update also explores the link between high savings and household consumption behavior. Almost half of household savings in China are invested in housing and about a quarter in bank deposits. The preference for low-risk bank deposits is shaped by precautionary saving needs, limited long-term financial products, and, more recently, falling home prices and cautious income expectations. Large volumes of household deposits provide low-cost financing but they may also weaken price signals, leading to patterns of capital allocation that may not support productivity trends
Learnings from Pakistan
No full textAccurate measurement of intimate partner violence is challenging in face-to-face interviews due to concerns about anonymity and privacy, which can deter disclosure. In settings with high illiteracy, self-administered surveys are also impractical. To tackle these issues, this study adapted self-interviewing tools for rural-poor contexts and conducted two experiments: one to assess comprehension, and another to compare disclosure of intimate partner violence when questions were asked face-to-face first versus through audio computer-assisted interviewing first. The findings show that despite high illiteracy, respondents can effectively understand audio computer-assisted interviewing questionnaires. Additionally, initially answering questions privately via audio computer-assisted interviewing significantly increases subsequent disclosure of intimate partner violence by 41 to 57 percent during face-to-face interviews. This indicates that starting with private questioning enhances openness and consistency in reporting sensitive topics, making it a viable and effective method for improving data collection on intimate partner violence
Overview Brief on Innovations in Public Works: Rethinking Public Works for Jobs and Skills in a Changing World
No full textPublic works programs (PWPs) have long been a common choice to protect people in need by providing temporary jobs and income. They promise more than a paycheck: They offer dignity, visible community investments, and the prospect of long-term progress. But today’s world is changing fast. Climate, digital transformation, and shifting demographics are forcing us to rethink how economies can sustainably grow and create employment. Conventional PWPs, often centered on short-term, low-skilled infrastructure jobs are struggling to respond. They typically provide immediate relief but often do not generate sustained benefits. A new generation of PWPs is emerging to do more. These programs introduce innovations that improve how social policy is implemented, while supporting economic development that is inclusive, sustainable, and jobs-focused. This brief summarizes the report Innovations in Public Works: Rethinking Public Works for Jobs and Skills in a Changing World, examining new approaches that are reshaping PWPs and highlighting the opportunities and challenges they present

Results Snapshot from a Rapid Monitoring Phone Survey of Households
No full textThe Lao economy faces increased challenges from currency depreciation and high inflation. Economic recovery from COVID-19 has been gradual, undermined by macroeconomic instability and external factors. The combination of the need to service large external debts, high import prices, and limited foreign exchange reserves, has led to a sharp fall in value of the local currency. The World Bank has conducted a series of Rapid Monitoring Phone Surveys of Households in the Lao PDR to regularly monitor household welfare. The first survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, from June 20 to July 16, 2020. Following the sixth-round survey of December 5, 2022 to January 4, 2023, the seventh and most recent round was conducted from May 29 to June 28, 2023. 1 The monitoring data offers insights into the effects of economic shocks on household well-being. This note provides a snapshot of findings from the seventh round
Mobilizing Private Capital for Development Through World Bank Group Guarantees, Fiscal Years 2015–24: An Independent Evaluation (Approach Paper)
No full textThe World Bank Group strategy emphasizes that private capital is critical for the investments required to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in client countries (World Bank and IMF 2023). A large gap persists between the resources of governments and donors and the investment required to address development challenges. In recognition of this gap, multilateral development banks (MDBs) and other development institutions, donors, and governments have recognized the importance of giving priority to private finance. Financing development goals is especially challenging in lower- and middle-income countries. This evaluation takes place at a time when the Bank Group strategy positions it to play a key role in mobilizing private capital for development. Guarantees are central to the Bank Group’s strategy for the Evolution Roadmap (World Bank and IMF 2023), which foresees the Bank Group enabling and mobilizing private capital to achieve development impact at scale. Emphasis on guarantees is rooted in recognition that they are vehicles to enable the substantial private investment required to meet the SDGs and confront development challenges. The main objective of this evaluation is to extract learning from the Bank Group’s experience in using guarantees appropriately and effectively to support clients in their efforts to mobilize private capital for development purposes
Harnessing Fishing Net Recycling in Coastal Bangladesh
No full textAs Bangladesh’s economy grows and the
country becomes rapidly urbanized, plastic pollution has
become an escalating problem. Moving forward, the Government
of Bangladesh aims for sustainable development by stepping
up and modernizing the action on pollution and waste
management and adopting appropriate approaches, including
circular economy. The report is part of a deep dive on
plastic waste management in Bangladesh, an analytical
product under the Building Back Greener Bangladesh
Programmatic Analytics and Advisory Services aimed to
support the government of Bangladesh to better understand
the status of plastic issues and form a basis on which to
tackle plastic waste management in a more systematic and
comprehensive manner. The deep dive builds on the analytics
and aligns with the recommendations set forward in the
Country Environmental Analysis (CEA) (2023) and the
Multisectoral Action Plan for Sustainable Plastic Management
in Bangladesh (2021) focusing on different areas of policy
and regulatory reforms; economic instruments; technology and
infrastructure; and awareness raising. It supports the
Bank’s commitment to work with countries around the world to
pursue and scale-up policies and programs that help them
move toward a circular plastic economy and, in partnership
with civil society and the private sector, harnesses the
power of innovation to bring viable and sustainable
solutions for plastic waste reduction and management
Who on Earth Is Using Generative AI? Global Trends and Shifts in 2025
No full textNearly three years after ChatGPT’s launch, the generative artificial intelligence landscape remains in rapid flux. Using high-frequency website traffic data from Semrush, this paper tracks global adoption patterns for the 60 most-visited consumer-facing generative artificial intelligence tools through mid-2025. Five key findings emerge. First, fierce competition drives continuous innovation: two of 2025’s top five tools—DeepSeek and Grok—are new entrants, and development is rapidly diversifying into multi-modal capabilities, reasoning, and specialized applications. Second, ChatGPT maintains dominance despite competition, accounting for 77 percent of traffic to the top 60 tools in April 2025. Third, usage of generative artificial intelligence has exploded since mid-2024: ChatGPT traffic grew 113 percent year-over-year, driven by 42 percent user growth and 50 percent increased visits per user, with session duration doubling. Fourth, high-income countries are pulling decisively ahead, creating stark global divides. While 24 percent of internet users in high-income countries use ChatGPT, penetration drops to 5.8 percent in upper-middle-income countries, 4.7 percent in lower-middle-income countries, and just 0.7 percent in low-income countries. Regression analysis confirms that gross domestic product per capita strongly predicts adoption growth. Fifth, localization shapes competitive advantage: non-U.S. tools concentrate heavily in home markets, with Le Chat drawing 69 percent of traffic from Europe and several Chinese tools exceeding 90 percent domestic usage. These patterns reveal an artificial intelligence landscape characterized by intense innovation, persistent market leadership, accelerating growth, and deepening global inequality, underscoring the need for inclusive policies as generative artificial intelligence becomes central to economic participation
