Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the recent international crises, the role and significance of international financial institutions (IFI) have been challenged. Some have argued that global financial institutions are inadequate and inefficient in performing their missions, and may be replaced by modern institutions with inclusive governance and a goal-focused approach. International Financial Institutions and Their Challenges analyzes the claimed purposes of IFIs and their failures, and proposes solutions for the future. This comprehensive account is the first book of its kind to give readers an exhaustive overview of key IFI's from the International Monetary Fund to the Islamic Development Bank. By encouraging readers to think outside the box, Lessambo enhances the current and future debates on IFIs. The book brings readers to the real challenges of international finance, and appeals to scholars in economics, finance, international studies, government studies, law, and political science, as well as professionals in finance, development experts, and employees at NGOs.

This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, here is the complete history of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). In the fifty years since the end of World War II, the world of development finance has grown rapidly. One of the many financial institutions which cropped up to help war-torn countries with their reconstruction was the IFC. International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries examines the success of the IFC in its wide variety of public sector development activities. Covering thirty-five years of IFC operations, the book thoroughly evaluates the formulation of the concept of the IFC and its evolution as a viable global development finance agency. It is the most complete and up-to-date treatment available of the IFC. The administration and operational procedures are described in detail as are case examples of financial development in all regions. Problems encountered by the IFC and new and future activities of the IFC are discussed. Scholars of economic development and international finance will find the unusual way in which the IFC was established and the case examples presented a highly valuable reference, as will students of international studies and organizations.
Book Synopsis Facets of Globalization by : Shahid Yusuf
Download or read book Facets of Globalization written by Shahid Yusuf and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1985, national economies have become increasingly integrated into a global network. At the same time, both population and production in developing countries are becoming concentrated in urban regions. This, in turn, has generated demands for more local autonomy, shifting more decision making to sub-national levels. Globalization is expected to continue leading to greater openness and international mobility of capital and people. There are few reasons to believe that these trends will abateif anything, they are likely to intensify the focus on cities and sharpen competition among these for international and local resources. This volume underscores the transformative role of globalization and urbanization and shows the interplay between the two forces.

This book was released on 2003-10-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly globalised world, it is becoming ever more difficult for nation states to adapt to the international consequences of market failures, government failures and global externalities without co-operation and co-ordination with other countries. In the absence of any form of world government, the most effective solution to this problem is either to create new international institutions, reform existing ones or work within the prevailing institutional framework.
Book Synopsis The Development Contribution of IFC Operations by : International Finance Corporation. Economics Department
Download or read book The Development Contribution of IFC Operations written by International Finance Corporation. Economics Department and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development is not only growth in output and incomes, but also change - new technologies, better management, improved financing techniques. The activities of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) promote growth as well as support these changes. Therefore, this paper reports not only on growth effects measured by economic rates of return, but also on the process of transformation set in motion by IFC's activities. Perhaps the most fundamental way in which the Corporation contributes to development is by investing only in projects that offer a satisfactory ex-ante economic rate of return. This paper presents the results of an analysis of 110 IFC projects for which comparable data are available. It then focuses on the crucial process by which IFC translates potential benefits into reality. It is during the appraisal process that IFC uses its technical, financial, and managerial expertise to improve the viability of a project. Another important development contribution is the help that IFC provides companies in trouble; without financial viability there can be no development benefit. Further sections of the paper illustrate other important development contributions such as the achievement of externalities as well as IFC's role in helping governments to attain sectoral or broader policy objectives. Lastly, the paper deals with noninvestment operations.
Book Synopsis Globalization, Growth, and Poverty by : Paul Collier
Download or read book Globalization, Growth, and Poverty written by Paul Collier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization - the growing integration of economies and societies around the world, is a complex process. The focus of this research is the impact of economic integration on developing countries and especially the poor people living in these countries. Whether economic integration supports poverty reduction and how it can do so more effectively are key questions asked. The research yields 3 main findings with bearings on current policy debates about globalization. Firstly, poor countries with some 3 billion people have broken into the global market for manufactures and services, and this successful integration has generally supported poverty reduction. Secondly, inclusion both across countries and within them is important as a number of countries (pop. 2 billion) are failing as states, trading less and less, and becoming marginal to the world economy. Thirdly, standardization or homogenization is a concern - will economic integration lead to cultural or institutional homogenization?

One of its basic components is the availability of developed national financial markets, actively interacting with similar markets in other countries. As an example, the United States can lead the UK, Japan, in economic development which play an important role the financial markets, and the major cities of these countries (New York, London, Tokyo), are the major international financial centers. Cities can be seen as the gateway to the global economy. They are important for the functioning of both national and global economy, since they are concentrated huge financial, informational and intellectual resources, based most of the major industrial, commercial, financial and service companies, specialized credit and financial institutions and banks. In addition to traditional MFC in the last decades of the 20th century a number of new financial centers competing for the role of international. The acceleration of globalization and especially its financial component, led to an increase in strength and influence regional financial centers, in particular, such as Hong Kong (Hong Kong). The financial market of China, which is traditionally considered to be emerging financial markets have long been a mature international financial centers that have an impact not only on the regional economy, but also in the distribution of global capital flows. The study of the functioning of the MFC, their development trends is the most important area for the understanding of the new global economy, its characteristics and movement mechanisms. At the same time identifying new trends in the development of Asian financial centers, particularly their inclusion in the competition for international corporations have mastered the financial market, is both scientific and practical interest. This makes it possible to identify local features of financial globalization as a result of the connection and the active development of the Asia-Pacific Economic Space with new financial centers, show their role, prospects and competitiveness in the global economy. Of particular importance is the study of the development of Chinese financial market, especially given the fact that the IMF has recognized the yuan a freely usable currency, reflecting the expanding role of China in world trade, a significant increase in the use of the yuan in the international scale and the growth of operations with it.
