Developing countries and the Perfect Storm Part II: What Developing Countries Need to Do
By Daud KhanROME, Jun 3 2022 (IPS) Developing countries are facing a combination of crises that are unprecedented in recent times. Over the last three years they have had to face the COVID-19 crisis, the food crisis, the energy crisis, the climate change crisis, the debt crisis and, on top of all this, a global recession. The crises have overlapped, and each has added to the problems created by the previous ones. Daud KhanMuch of the “fault” for these crises lies with the big countries – their desire for geo-political domination, the continued emission of GHGs, the tight money policy of recent months. There are str...

By Matti KohonenLONDON, May 31 2022 (IPS) At this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos which ended last week, the attention of the world’s financial and economic elite was captured by the war in Ukraine whose president Volodimir Zelensky used his address to call to “complete withdrawal of foreign businesses from the Russian market”, despite 380 of the largest multinational companies still operating in Russia.

Fighting Inflation Excuse for Class Warfare
By Anis Chowdhury and Jomo Kwame SundaramSYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 2022 (IPS) A class war is being waged in the name of fighting inflation. All too many central bankers are raising interest rates at the expense of working people’s families, supposedly to check price increases. Forced to cope with rising credit costs, people are spending less, thus slowing the economy. But it does not have to be so. There are much less onerous alternative approaches to tackle inflation and other contemporary economic ills. Short-term pain for long-term gain? Central bankers are agreed inflation is now their biggest challenge, but a...

If, as they are rolled out, they are made available at scale, they could help save many lives and help end the AIDS pandemic. But here’s the bad news: on the current trajectory, most people who need them will not be able to get them an...
