released World Economic Outlook by the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
projects economic activities to increase significantly in developing countries-

economic activities is hinged on prospective favorable effects of continued
increase in commodity export price (Crude oil is expected to increase to $55
per barrel in 2017 compared to $46 in 2016).
