Equitable Development

Liberia

The relaunched Equitable Development pillar focuses on global economic cooperation and the political economy of development, with a strong emphasis on sustainable finance, multilateral development bank reform and changes to the international financial architecture. 

Research lines developed in the Equitable Development pillar will explore macroeconomic trends, institutional governance reform and opportunities to unlock finance for sustainable development. The pillar will support efforts to reform and evolve institutions, coalitions and agendas that share the ambition of closing development finance and governance gaps. Research themes include climate finance, international tax cooperation, international monetary policy, reform of the global debt and trade architectures, as well as new regional approaches to financial integration.
