Global Development Finance--the World Bank's annual report on the external financing of developing countries--provides monitoring and analysis of development finance, identifying key emerging trends and policy challenges in international financial flows that are likely to affect the growth prospects of developing countries. Never before has the outlook for financial flows to developing countries been so intricately tied to the specter of collective action by the international community to restore confidence in the functioning of global financial markets and institutions. As the world economy heads toward a deep, broad-based economic slowdown with implications for development finance still in the making, revisionism and anxiety ride high as officials in both developing and developed countries question not only the merits of financial openness and the degree of necessary safeguards, but also the entire architecture of the global financial system. Vol I: Review, Analysis, and Outlook reviews recent trends in financial flows to developing countries in light of recent events and the global financial crisis. Vol II. Summary and Country Tables includes comprehensive data for 138 countries, as well as summary data for regions and income groups. Global Development Finance 2009 CD-ROMs provide you with more than 200 historical time series from 1970 to 2007, and country group estimates for 2008. Data is available for over 130 countries that report under the World Bank Debtor Reporting System, as well as summary data for regions and income groups. It contains data on total external debt stocks and flows, aggregates, and key debt ratios, and provides a detailed, country-by-country picture of debt.
