Urgent Action Needed to Address a Worsening 'Two-Track' Recovery

July 7, 2021--When G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors gather in Venice this week, they can take inspiration from the city's unbreakable spirit.
As the world's first international financial center, Venice has faced the vagaries of economic fortunes over centuries, while being directly affected by climate change.

This extraordinary resilience is needed more than ever as policymakers continue to face extraordinary challenges.

The good news is that the global recovery is progressing broadly in line with the IMF's April projections of 6 percent growth this year. After a crisis like no other, we are seeing in some countries a recovery like no other, propelled by a combination of strong fiscal and monetary policy support and rapid vaccinations.

Renewables were the world's cheapest source of energy in 2020, new report shows

July 5, 2021--The cost of renewable technologies like wind and solar is falling significantly, according to a new report.

Stablecoins Could Pose New Short-Term Credit Market Risks

July 1, 2021--The rapid growth of stablecoin issuance could, in time, have implications for the functioning of short-term credit markets, says Fitch Ratings. Potential asset contagion risks linked to the liquidation of stablecoin reserve holdings could increase pressure for tighter regulation of the nascent sector.

Contagion risks are primarily associated with collateralised stablecoins, varying based on the size, liquidity and riskiness of their asset holdings, as well as the transparency and governance of the operator, among other things.

Protecting Nature Could Avert Global Economic Losses of $2.7 Trillion Per Year

July 1, 2021--World Bank report lays out 'win-win' policies for countries to seek nature-smart recoveries from the pandemic.
A new World Bank report estimates that the collapse of select ecosystem services provided by nature-such as wild pollination, provision of food from marine fisheries and timber from native forests-could result in a decline in global GDP of $2.7 trillion annually by 2030.

The Economic Case for Nature underscores the strong reliance of economies on nature, particularly in low-income countries. The report highlights that Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia would suffer the most relative contraction of real GDP due to a collapse of ecosystem services by 2030: 9.7 percent annually and 6.5 percent, respectively. This is due to a reliance on pollinated crops and, in the case of Sub-Saharan Africa on forest products, as well as a limited ability to switch to other production and consumption options that would be less affected.
