On the 80th anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference, it should be recalled that fundamental reforms of the international financial architecture are overdue. Deeper #Worldbank reform is one example.

Germans have experienced the most dramatic decline in real wages since 1950 as a result of inflation. This is painful for most people and devastating for those who had low incomes to begin with.

33% of Germans with low living standards have voted for the far right AfD today.

VERY excited for this report commissioned by the G20 presidency — I look forward to presenting it in two weeks

G7 leaders must remember: ignoring Africa is not an option. From economic potential to global stability, Africa's role is pivotal in building a resilient, equitable, and sustainable future. https://t.co/lCl0aDpRa8 @ProSyn

Released before the adoption of the Evolution Roadmap, our briefing paper still shows how big the gap between stakeholder aspirations and the agreed reforms is.

#WorldBank reform remains unfinished biz!
Main need: accelerated governance reform, shift away from focus on leveraging private financing, mainstreaming of #HumanRights approach, more #transparency & #accountability, & rapid phase-out of #fossil energy financing.
