Abstract: This paper aims at delivering some analysis on the complex issue of global imbalances in the pattern of exports and imports of goods and services and simultaneous flow of capital in the world economy during the last decade. It discusses why these flows were principally streaming from developing to developed countries and what are their main driving forces. It also embarks on the problem of sustainability of global imbalances and the dollar playing an important role in reshaping them.
