As global financial leaders gather in Washington, D.C. this week for the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings, the need for reform has never been more urgent. This new Foreign Policy brief, as part of the Global Governance Reimagined series, takes a deep dive into how the international financial architecture, built decades ago, is failing to solve the world’s most pressing problems and is, in many ways, fueling inequality. This brief analyzes how international financial institutions can be reformed to address today's pressing challenges—from climate change to rising debt—and better serve global development needs. This is a critical conversation for anyone in development, policy, and global economics.
