Episode 40 Can Countries Escape the Debt Trap? Lessons from the Latest Global Outlook
Can countries escape the debt trap? As global growth slows to 2.5% and government debt in developing economies has climbed from under 40% to over 70% of GDP since 2010, policymakers face increasingly difficult choices. This episode explores the findings of the latest Global Economic Prospects, June 2026 report, examining why borrowing becomes more expensive as debt rises, how commodity-dependent economies remain vulnerable to boom-and-bust cycles, and why strong institutions matter just as much as fiscal rules. Discover the practical lessons for building resilience, creating fiscal space, and supporting sustainable growth in an increasingly uncertain global economy. Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts. Read more at https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/b5f5a90f-3229-482f-b8c5-d3c4e9ecbad5

Episode 39 How a WhatsApp Game Helped People Resist Health Misinformation
Health misinformation is now ranked among the world's 32 most severe global risks, with an estimated economic cost of US$78 billion in 2019. But what if governments could help people recognize misleading information before they encounter it? In this episode, we explore a randomized study from Jordan that tested a WhatsApp chatbot game designed to build resistance to health misinformation. We discuss why interactive "prebunking" outperformed passive information campaigns, how it improved people's ability to distinguish credible from misleading content, and what policymakers can learn about designing scalable digital interventions that strengthen public trust.

Episode 38 The Next Growth Model: How East Asia Can Thrive in an AI-Driven World
Global private investment in generative AI reached $34 billion in 2024, while AI-related exports account for 34% of GDP in Malaysia and 32% in Viet Nam. Yet growth in East Asia and Pacific is projected to slow from 5.0% in 2025 to 4.2% in 2026. In this episode, we explore how one of the world's most dynamic regions can sustain growth in an era of slowing productivity, rising trade uncertainty, and rapid technological change. Drawing on the East Asia and Pacific Economic Update 2026, we examine the opportunities and challenges of industrial policy in the digital age—from investing in human capital and opening services markets to supporting innovation while avoiding costly policy mistakes. We also discuss how AI is reshaping competitiveness and what governments can do to help firms and workers benefit from the next wave of growth.
