Adjusting to thechanging dynamics of
the world economy
Key points:
The global economy is in a structural crisis: reverting to pre-crisis growth strategies is neither possible nor desirable
Export-led development strategies are no longer viable. More balanced development strategies with a greater role for domestic and regional demand needed – this requires reconsideration of income distribution
5 years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, taming finance remains a priority: financial systems need to serve the ‘real’ economy and facilitate adaptation to new global demand patterns
The global economy remains far away from a strong, sustained and balanced growth path

• Developed countries recovery is hindered by low demand and are not tackling the causes of the crisis
• No growth decoupling of developing countries and continued high vulnerability; yet, even if developed countries were to persevere with their current policy stance, developing countries could still improve their economic performance by providing coordinated economic stimuli
• The share of developing countries in global GDP has strongly increased and the economic size of the largest developing countries makes larger role of domestic demand viable
• South-South trade has strongly increased; yet, it has not become an autonomous engine of growth
Structural nature of the present crisis is reflected in changing dynamics of the world economy

Consumption of selected commodities by region, 2002 and 2012
• The rapid rise of commodity prices starting in 2002 has boosted economic growth in commodity producing countries• The expansionary phase of the commodity price supercycle may have come to an end, but a price collapse is unlikely to occur in the next few years• The main challenge for commodity producing countries remains appropriating a fair share of the resource rents and using the revenues to reduce income inequality and spur industrial production

Developing and emergingeconomies
Financing the real economy for meeting the new patterns of demand
_____________________________________________________________________________
A redesign of development strategies involves an expansion of productive capacities and their adaptation to new demand patters, all of which requires investment and its financing
Key challenges: Capital flows management: pragmatic exchange-rate management and capital-account management needed to reduce vulnerability to external financial shocks
Domestic financial systems need to channel credit towards productive investment in the real sector: central banks should pursue a credit policy, rather than just a monetary policy

Developing countries should rely mainly on domestic sources of finance, especially retained profits and bank credit
Sources of investment finance, selected country groups, 2005-2012, in % ___________________________________________________________________
• Monetary policy alone is not sufficient to stimulate investment
• Central banks should play an active role in the implementation of a growth and development strategy through a credit (and not only monetary) policy
• Reform at the national and global levels is needed not only to improve financial and economic stability but to ensure that sufficient investment finance goes into productive activities and helps developing countries address the new development challenges
