190 member countries working together to improve lives through global growth and economic stability.
关于我们
The International Monetary Fund has a key position in promoting the health of the world economy. Established in 1944 as a part of the United Nations system, the IMF's primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the international monetary system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries and their citizens to buy goods and services from each other. This is essential for sustainable economic growth and rising living standards. To maintain stability and prevent crises in the international monetary system, the IMF conducts surveillance of national, regional, and global economic and financial developments. It provides advice to its 190 member countries, encouraging them to adopt policies that foster economic stability, reduce their vulnerability to economic and financial crises, and raise living standards. The IMF also serves as a forum where its global membership can discuss the national, regional, and global consequences of their policies. The IMF makes financing temporarily available to member countries to help them address balance of payments problems—that is, when they find themselves short of foreign exchange to meet their payments to other countries. Finally, the IMF provides countries with training to help them build the expertise and institutions they need for economic stability and growth. Supporting all of these activities is the institution's work in economic research and statistics.

In this edition of the Weekend Read, we take a look at trade balances in China and the US, how to awaken Europe's private sector, charting democracy and development in Africa, and paving a path to prosperity in Central Asia. We feature Ufuk Akcigit on the innovation paradox in the September issue of F&D magazine, Kate Raworth on economics for the living planet, and our latest Back to Basics video on productivity. ? Our key message this week: China’s widening trade surplus and the growing US trade deficit since the pandemic have renewed concerns about global imbalances and fueled an intense debate on their causes and consequences.

There are increasing worries that China’s external surpluses result from industrial policies to stimulate exports and support economic growth amid weak domestic demand. Some worry that the resulting overcapacity could lead to a surge of exports that would displace workers and hurt industrial activity elsewhere. This trade and industrial policy view of external balances is incomplete at best and should be replaced with a macro view. External balances are ultimately determined by macroeconomic fundamentals, while the link to trade and industrial policy is more tenuous. See our new joint blog by IMF departmental directors Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, Ceyla Pazarbasioglu, Krishna Srinivasan, Rodrigo Valdés. https://lnkd.in/dN96qarx

Emerging markets are not the hostages to global developments they once were. They're now a much bigger part of the global economy–and growing source of the growth that drives it. https://lnkd.in/g8vCNa4Z

Europe must find common ground for removing barriers to goods, services, capital, and labor flows within the single market. This should span multiple areas, opening protected sectors, lowering regulatory costs of operating across borders, expanding capital markets for innovative ventures, and investing in education. A thriving business sector is key to narrowing Europe’s large productivity gap with the US. https://lnkd.in/eiEQTC7x
