MDB reforms short of expectation, say Summers & Singh
Multilateral development banks (MDBs) have embarked on reforms but the pace and ambition fall «well short» of what was recommended and what is required, said Lawrence Summers and NK Singh, who were co-conveners of the G20 Independent Expert Group on MDB Reforms under India's presidency last year.
«In our view, the shortsighted approach of waiting until a crisis hits before acting forcefully on MDB reform will turn out to be a costly misjudgment. Time is not on our side,» they said in a latest report card on MDB reforms.
Summers, president emeritus at Harvard University, and Singh, a former senior bureaucrat, had recommended a vision for better, bolder, bigger MDBs as a central tool to respond to the issues facing emerging markets and developing economies. The Brazilian G20 presidency this year has followed up by developing a road map of MDB reforms.
MDBs have put in place measures to expand annual sustainable lending but the volumes involved-about 30% of current lending volume-«fall far short of the tripling they need, given their enlarged mandate», they said.
