    But he went on to say that weak demand in Europe and other regions will affect the countries of the Arab Spring, which shrinks exports many of them did not reach down to a range of after, according to the Reuters news agency.

    The report "is expected to continue to grow less than long-term trends are expected to rise unemployment rate due to the continuing weak external demand and prices for food and fuel prices and regional tensions and blurry policies."

    He acknowledged Masood Ahmed, Director of the Fund for the Middle East and Central Asia that the Fund and other institutions, which announced forecasts underestimated the difficulties facing the countries of the Arab Spring and said that the previous forecast was referring to the start of recovery in the year, but this did not materialize.

    The IMF predicted that the the Composite deficit shrinks budgets of the five slightly next year to eight percent of GDP from 9.1 percent. Ahmed expressed his concern for the failure of countries to take tough decisions to reduce their budget deficits.

    "Some countries finance current spending and mostly in the form of support to reduce investment allocations longer gamble the future of the economy."

    The Libya that toppled last year, its leader Muammar Gaddafi notable exception of slow growth model thanks to its oil wealth. And began oil production back to levels before the fighting in the country at a faster pace than expected.

    The gross domestic product shrank in Libya by 60 percent in the past year, but the fund is expected n grow by 122 percent this year and 17 percent in 2013 and seven percent per year on average between 2014 and 2017, assuming improved security situation within the country.

    The IMF predicted that Libya recorded a large surplus in the budget of up to 19 percent of GDP in 2012 and a surplus in the current account balance by 22 percent.
