Finansministerns nya toppjobb – som första svensk

Finansministerns nya toppjobb – som första svensk

Hennes nya post som ordförande presenteras formellt fredagen 25 oktober, under IMF och Världsbankens årsmöte när avgående ordföranden, Förenade Arabemiratens finansminister Mohamed bin Hadi Al Hussaini, välkomnar Elisabeth Svantesson som ny ordförande för Världsbankens och IMF:s gemensamma utvecklingskommitté. – Allt man gör, både där hemma och internationellt, handlar ju om relationer, säger Svantesson. Ingen svensk har haft rollen som ordförande tidigare. Hon blir den andra ordföranden från Europa och fjärde kvinnan någonsin. ”Fullt fokus och kraft där hemma” Trots det nya internationella uppdraget kommer hon ha gott om tid för sitt arbete som Sveriges finansminister, säger hon i Nyhetsmorgon. – Jag kommer naturligtvis att lägga fullt fokus och kraft där hemma som jag alltid gör. Men det känns viktigt i en tid som det här när mycket fragmentiseras och dras isär att man hittar varandra och hittar ett sätt att jobba ihop mellan våra länder, säger finansministern. ”Handlar om relationer” Mandatperioden är vanligtvis två år och påbörjas efter ett årsmöte. Svantesson väljs för perioden 2025-2026 men kommer i praktiken redan ta över som ordförande i november 2024. I sin roll kommer Svantesson framför allt agera mötesordförande under kommitténs årsmöten, sammankalla andra möten vid behov och samråda med Världsbankens chef. Redan i hennes nuvarande jobb som Sveriges finansminister har hon fått bra relationer på internationell nivå, berättar hon i Nyhetsmorgon. – Allt man gör, både här hemma och där, handlar om relationer. – Politik är ju för människor och man gör det med människor. Man gör det tillsammans, bygger relationer och bygger broar, säger Svantesson. Världsbanksgruppen är den största kanalen för svenskt bistånd, bland annat till Ukraina, enligt regeringen. Sedan Rysslands invasion har Världsbankens banken hittills mobiliserat över 47 miljarder US-dollar i ekonomiskt stöd från givarländerna, vilket är en betydande del av det internationella ekonomiska stödet till Ukraina.

IMF, BoE, wtf?

Make no mistake - the UK economy is crumbling. And this is not at the hands of a crisis beyond these shores. The Prime Minister and her Chancellor's decisions last Friday have sent the British economy into total freefall. In the last 24 hours, the IMF, a monetary body that only ever springs into action for countries in crisis have issued stark warnings against 'Trussonomics', and the Bank of England have made emergency interventions. What now?We try and make sense of it all. Later on in the podcast, we talk to Seb Payne, Whitehall Editor at the Financial Times about the lobbying groups behind the school of thought that is tangible impacting the course of modern Britain.Producer: Gabriel RadusPlanning: Melissa TutesigensiVideo Engineer: Ioana BarbuDeputy Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer: Dino SofosFor exclusive daily videos from The News Agents visit Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.

Are the IMF and World Bank good or bad for Africa?

Since the second world war, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have attempted to help countries in financial difficulties by providing low interest loans. This week the two Bretton Woods institutions have been holding their annual meetings in the Moroccan town of Marrakech - the first time they’ve been on African soil in 50 years. The two institutions divide opinion. Some people believe they have had a positive impact. But others say the organisations are dominated by the west and need reform to make them fairer to developing countries. So, what do we really know about the World Bank and IMF?

AI’s Real Risk to Wages: Andrew Berg and Maryam Vaziri

The pace at which artificial intelligence is transforming jobs is astounding, but while it boasts higher productivity AI is also increasing wage inequality. When workers are replaced by machines, real wages decline, and the owners of capital prosper. So who owns AI and how should its benefits be distributed? In this podcast, the IMFs Andrew Berg and Maryam Vaziri discuss AI’s inequality problem, the subject of their article in December’s special AI edition of Finance and Development magazine. Berg is Deputy Director, and Vaziri is an economist, both in the IMF Institute for Capacity Development.  Transcript: https://bit.ly/3NdgRxR

The IMF and the UK economy, NHS staff shortages and British vs English

The International Monetary Fund says the UK will be the only major economy to shrink in size this year. We ask how much faith we should put in the IMF’s forecasts and look at some of the big economic challenges facing the UK. Also why the headline number of job vacancies in the NHS in England doesn’t tell the whole story of staff shortages. And why has there been such a dramatic change in whether people describe themselves as British or English?

ThePrint MacroSutra : IMF’s assertion that RBI over-regulated rupee is weak, but advice on better fiscal targets is useful

Govt, RBI term IMF’s exchange rate re-classification as arbitrary. They also disagree with its assertion that India’s general govt debt-GDP ratio could exceed 100% of GDP in medium term.

Climate Goals and Debt: A Fiscal Balancing Act

Global warming is wreaking havoc on so many levels, but climate action is costly and presents policymakers with difficult tradeoffs. High debt, rising interest rates, and weaker growth prospects make public finances harder to balance and climate goals harder to achieve. This is where fiscal policy and climate mitigation meet and why the IMF Fiscal Affairs Department is trying to help countries manage their limited resources. Economists Christine Richmond and Raphael Lam work on climate policy and the annual publications of the IMF Fiscal Monitor. In this podcast, they say governments now face a policy trilemma between achieving climate goals, fiscal sustainability, and political feasibility.   Transcript: https://bit.ly/3sT6JmP

Episode 186: Nativism in Media (Part III) - IMF, NAFTA and Global Inequality By Design

"The World Bank and its president have been doing an important, constructive job the past five years," announced The Southern Illinoisan in 1973. "IMF assistance [has] put Jamaica well on the road to recovery," reported The Winnipeg Sun in 1982. The Trans-Pacific Partnership “could be a legacy-making achievement” for Barack Obama, The New York Times suggested in 2015. These are the dominant narratives surrounding so-called "development" initiatives, whether structural adjustment loans or "free trade" deals. Agreements like these, we're often told, have been and continue to be essential to the economic maturation and societal improvement of poor countries. Countries that shift from nationalized to privatized industry and land, so called liberalize trade policies, and institute a host of other free-market reforms are destined for greater efficiency, reduced poverty, and that much-coveted "Seat At The Table" in the global economy. But, all too often, this isn't the effect of these initiatives. What we don’t tend to hear about is how economic development "agreements" engineered by wealthy countries like the US — e.g., IMF loans, NAFTA, or the TPP — don't promote, but rather reverse, the development of exploited countries. Media minimize not only these initiatives' destructive effects on economies, labor, and social programs in service of U.S. corporations, but also their relationship to the punitive U.S. immigration system, and their extensive role in mass global displacement. This episode – the last installment of our three-part series on media narratives about immigration (listen to Part I here and Part II here!) – explores the displacing effects of "development" and "free trade" deals, as well as their connection to an increasingly militarized immigration "deterrence" machine, asking why capital is allowed to move freely, but people aren't. Our guest is Dylan Sullivan.
