11
Unemployment still rising
12
Economic recovery uncertain
13
Most developed economies slowly out of recession
14
Uncertain weak recovery in transition economies
15
Sub-potential recovery in developing countries
16
60 developing countries with declining incomes in 2009
17

18
18 World food prices lower after spikes
19
Food prices remain higher
20
Stimulus lags delay recovery
21
Global recovery with coordinated vs uncoordinated stimuli, 2010-2015
23
Double-dip recession with Premature stimulus withdrawal Widening imbalances + deep US$ devaluation can be avoided through sustainable rebalancing Early withdrawal stimulus Business as usual Coordinated, sustainable recovery Need coordinated sustainable recovery
24
Double-dip recession with Premature stimulus withdrawal Widening imbalances + deep US$ devaluation can be avoided through sustainable rebalancing Coordinated sustainable recovery for all Early withdrawal stimulus Business as usual Coordinated, sustainable recovery
25
Output, jobs recovery lags, 1991, 2001
26
Financial globalization Net capital flows from South to North (US largest borrower) Cost of funds not generally lower due to financial deepening (more intermediation, financial rents) Higher volatility Lower growth, higher instability
27
27 Globalization: finance>trade
28
28 Finance-investment nexus?
29
Net transfer of financial resources from South to North
30
Short-term capital inflows problematic No real contribution to investment, growth rates Asset (shares, real estate) price + related (e.g. construction) bubbles instead Cheaper finance for consumption binges Over-investment excess capacity All exacerbate instability, pro-cyclicality
31
31 Problems Crisis International financial architecture: non-system Policy responses: inadequate; double standards Inadequate and inappropriate regulation International cooperation: G7 G20, IMF strengthened
33
33 G20 London Summit Commitments $1,100bn Total $250bn SDR allocation 44% to G7 countries alone Only $80bn to DCs $100bn Aid for the poorest New Commitments < $100bn $250bn Trade Finance New commitments < $25bn $500bn IMF Funding $0 New Commitments
34
G20 Pittsburgh commitments G20 takeover (G7)? BWI governance shifts Executive remuneration debate Financial regulation reform? Capital requirements Surveillance
35
Systemic reform agenda Ensure macro-financial stability with counter- cyclical macroeconomic policies + prudential risk management, including capital controls Finance growth (output, employment) with developmental financial system Ensure inclusive financial system -- NEW Monterrey policy coherence: Align IMF, WB with UN development agenda, IADGs But who will lead comprehensive reform process?
36
Bretton Woods moment lost? Bretton Woods, 1944: United Nations conference on monetary + financial affairs 15 years after 1929 Depression Middle of WW2 US initiative vs UK Treasury stance 44 countries (28 developing countries; 19 LA) UN system: IMF, IBRD, ITO Clear emphasis on sustaining growth, job creation, post-war reconstruction, post- colonial development, not just financial stability
37
Stiglitz Commission Report Macroeconomic stabilization: broader view Regulating financial markets Reforming global economic governance Systemic reform priorities: SDRs as reserve currency
38
4 crises, dilemmas Climate change vs development Reduce climate change while raising living standards for all Need to reduce GHG emissions in rich countries and slow (+ eventually reduce) them in developing countries Food prices lower after spikes, but higher than before while hunger rising since 95
39
4 crises: 1 solution? More renewable energy to mitigate sustainable development pathway Investment (vs market)-led approach to address climate change, development, food, recovery goals Cannot rely on markets alone More job creation from renewable energy Cross-subsidization (e.g. global or regional feed-in tariffs, scale economies) Big push: front-loading Scale + learning economies Need significant (fin. + technology) transfers
40
Global Green New Deal New Deal for recovery, social protection, jobs, infrastructure, development Green: more job creation from renewable energy (compared to fossil fuel energy) Global: cross-subsidization (e.g. regional feed-in tariffs, scale economies Public investment to induce private invt Cheap credit over-investment under- utilized capacity private investment reluctance public invt in renewables
