Since the last edition of our publication MacroDev Semestrial in February 2023, international economic developments have remained eventful and intense, against the backdrop of the continued global geopolitical reconfiguration. They are not without consequences for emerging and developing countries (EDCs), which are increasingly becoming actors and stakeholders in a multipolar world. The succession of shocks since 2020 has severely tested the macroeconomic stability of a number of countries, first and foremost the poorest, in a way that challenges even more acutely their development trajectory and its financing. There has been an editorial change to this edition of MacroDev semestrial panorama, with the first section devoted to global economic developments, still focusing on EDCs, instead of the previous thematic section. It is followed by the Country Focuses in the second section. For this edition, our attention has been drawn to China, Cambodia, Serbia, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Rwanda, Tunisia, Brazil & Mexico.
