  • Episode 21 Sixty Dollars a Barrel: Turning a Global Oversupply into a Policy Opportunity
    Jan 8 2026

    $60 a barrel. A 2.7 million-barrel-per-day surplus. The global oil market is heading into one of its biggest oversupply moments outside major crises. This episode unpacks what falling energy prices really mean for development—why cheaper oil can create fiscal space, support disinflation, and open opportunities to reform subsidies and invest in growth, while history warns against trying to control volatile markets. Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts. Read the full report here at https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/d08d3ee8-e38a-4f02-8ade-95b9c6075c0b

    Dec 18 2025

    📦 A metal box boosted trade by 1,240%. 🩺 A simple checklist cut surgical deaths by 47%. 🔌 A plug that fits a socket keeps economies running.

From global trade and FDI to healthcare, education, air quality, and AI, we explore how getting the rules right—and making them work in practice—can transform development outcomes worldwide.

  • Episode 19 One Reform Won’t Do It: The Surprising Power of Policy Packages to Spark Growth
    Dec 4 2025

    Investment accelerations can lift output growth to nearly 6% a year and cut poverty rates by 0.5 percentage points annually—but they’ve become far rarer. This episode uncovers why single reforms no longer spark growth and how coordinated policy packages—combining fiscal stability, openness, and strong institutions—dramatically raise the odds of both public and private investment takeoff. Learn how countries can translate reforms into real jobs, higher productivity, and greater poverty reduction. Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts.
