Low-Income Countries and International Financial Reform

Graham Bird

Chapter 13 in Managing Global Money, 1988, pp 223-253 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to show how the international financial system may be used to help alleviate hardship in the world’s poorest countries. The rationale for reform only partly hinges on considerations of international equity, however, it also relates to the size and nature of the balance-of-payments problems that these countries have experienced in the past and seem likely to experience in the future. It is on this latter aspect that the paper concentrates.
