1 Financial Crisis and Global Recession: At a Turning Point? Richard Newfarmer Special Representative to UN and WTO World Bank Cairo June 15, 2009
2 Main messages Recession in the US now appears to be bottoming out, but speed and strength of recovery is uncertain Even though recession will eventually end, several daunting challenges remain, particularly for the poorest countries and vulnerable social groups Domestic policy is critical, but generating a sustained recovery requires new forms of multilateral collaboration
3 Causes: Macroeconomic policy and changes in the financial system create conditions for the perfect financial storm Excessively easy money after 2001 Fiscal stimulus as US budget swung from surplus to large deficit Expansion of opaque financial innovation Subprime mortgages Home equity lending Consolidated Debt Obligations Credit Default Swaps Emergence of unregulated borrowing in the shadow banking system Mortgage companies Investment banks Hedge funds leading to excessive leverage of consumers, corporates, and public sectors financed by China and other countries accumulating large reserves
4 but the problem goes back to financial deregulation after 1980 and again after 2001

24 Source: JP Morgan, World Financial Markets, June 2009 Daunting challenges: Providing support to workers and the poor Widening fiscal deficits will put pressures on social safety nets Poor households suffer declines in remittances and continued higher food and fuel prices Firms will face tighter credit conditions and weaker demand, so they will be slow to create new jobs and unemployment will rise
25 Daunting challenges: Providing support to the unemployed 23 million more workers will be unemployed in 2009 than in 2007 Recessions with housing busts involve deepest employment cuts and longest period of recovery (Claessens, et al, 2008) Jobs are lost more quickly in contraction than are replaced during subsequent recovery (Rijkers, 2009) Employment usually takes twice as long to recover as output (Reinhard, et al 2002) Poor urban workers often move to agriculture if that is feasible (e.g., in East Asia crisis, 30-40% of displaced workers moved).
26 Policy options? For developing countries Counter-cyclical policies: But only open to countries with access to noninflationary sources of finance and a sound investment climate Since trade is a main channel of recession, policies to reduce trade costs can position countries to take advantage of recovery border and customs reforms port reforms improving logistics management Investment in labor-intensive and trade-related infrastructure, such as rural roads
27 Policy options? For developing countries Counter-cyclical policies: But only open to countries with access to noninflationary sources of finance and a sound investment climate Since trade is a main channel of recession, policies to reduce trade costs can position countries to take advantage of recovery Policies to support workers and the poor Increase in unemployment benefits Wage subsidies and lowering wage taxes Tariff reductions on food imports Public employment programs Conditional cash transfers programs (stay in school programs) Public investments in labor-intensive and trade-related infrastructure, such as rural roads
28 Multilateral collaboration is crucial and the G20 leaders have begun the process G20 Summit April 2 Agreed: Accelerated restructuring of banks and increased regulation Pledge to avoid protection Fiscal stimulus and expansive monetary policy Mobilization of more capital for developing countries IMF $700- b. New arrangement to borrow (NAB) World Bank MDBs Capital increase for ADB Reform of the IMF and World Bank Increased capital, new voting, merit selection of leaders
29 but improving the multilateral response requires Fulfilling pledges for development assistance Keeping global markets open and resisting pressures for trade protection and renewing a commitment to the Doha Development agenda Improving regulation of financial markets will require careful balancing of national regulatory authorities with international cooperation Developing multilateral governance mechanisms to be more inclusive
30 Conclusion Recovery is near, but its strength is in doubt and it will take many quarters to have full effect on incomes Meantime, assertive policy interventions are needed to protect core social spending and support households and invest in reforms that will revive growth The G20 process has helped but much remains to be done in keeping markets open, financial regulation, and providing adequate development assistance
