Monetary Fund (IMF), “Doubling down on development”, Center for Global
Development, Washington, D.C. (2016).
“The greatest challenge we face today is the risk of the world turning its back on global cooperation.
Low income countries would be particularly affected by a breakdown of cooperation. Ironically, it is
precisely those countries that offer promise to the future global economy, as populations in advanced
and emerging markets are aging, limiting their future role in global growth.
I would like to focus your attention on three strands of work the IMF have engaged in with our member
countries in recent years. They focus on key ingredients for successful development: (i) raising
resources for development, (ii) promoting efficient infrastructure investment, and (iii) inclusive growth
(opportunity distributed fairly across society). For example, the 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa
together generate only the same amount of electricity as just one advanced economy – Spain. Clearly, if
Africa is to realize its potential, better infrastructure is needed. The international community also needs
to prevent issues like tax evasion and we are working closely together with the OECD (Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development) and the World Bank. There is room to lift both the level and
the effectiveness of aid – and I encourage all countries to raise their game in this area.”
