Coming decade will show shift from ingoing FDI to outgoing FDI. While high-income countries look for regulating financial markets, developing countries need to deepen markets, partly through liberalizing them.

28 Improving our capacity to respond to commodity cycles Domestic policy agenda – Improve targeting of social welfare schemes – Invest in rural infrastructure and agricultural R&D – Be prepared to react rapidly because of long-term costs of even a relatively short bout of high food prices Global policy agenda – Proceed with trade liberalization, including improved disciplines governing export bans – Increase the financial independence of World Food Program – Improve information flows and coordination of food stocks
