Dear colleagues,
This issue of South Bulletin focuses on the deepening economic problems in emerging economies. There is a concern that emerging economies may be the ones facing the next financial and economic crisis. The South Centre’s chief economist, Yilmaz Akyuz, in his article, proposes urgent steps needed to avoid or deal with a potential crisis in these economies.
The Centre’s Executive Director, Martin Khor, in his article, also talks about new problems confronting several developing countries which faced sharp currency depreciation and capital outflows at the start of 2014. He also argues the case for capital controls over capital outflows in countries facing potential flight of capital to avoid a potential crisis.
China seems to be preparing to play a bigger role in global economic affairs, but not at the cost of giving up its developing country status. This was the impression made at the conference Transformative Global Governance: China and the United Nations, held in Shanghai on 13-14 January 2014. An article on this is in the Bulletin.
Other articles in the bulletin include:
With best wishes,
Martin Khor
