Post-Crisis Growth in Developing Countries: A Special Report of the Commission on Growth and Development on the Implications of the 2008 Financial Crisis

The Special Report revisits the recommendations of The Growth Report, released in May 2008, prior to unfolding of the financial crisis. It finds that the crisis was not a failure of market-oriented systems, and that the outward-looking strategy remains broadly valid. It assesses the 2008 financial crisis’ longer term impact on developing countries, explains how developing countries can make themselves more resilient in the face of such blows, and examines what international institutions and forums can do to help.
