Excerpt
from Bradlow's Paper
“Since the
collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the mid-1970s the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, have helped the world avoid the horrors of a
systemic collapse. However, […] they are failing in their mandate to reduce
poverty, promote and maintain high levels of employment and real income, a
stable international monetary system, and shorten the duration and lessen the
degree of payments disequilibria. Unfortunately, they are failing us
at a time when we badly need them to be functioning effectively. The
increasingly integrated global financial system, with its apparently endemic
volatility and uncertainties and unbalanced allocation of resources desperately
needs some form of effective global governance.”
