The international financial architecture is in urgent need of reform. In the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, it is “outdated, dysfunctional and unjust”. The main institutions were created 80 years ago in a transatlantic agreement, at a time when many of the world’s nation-states of today were still colonies. Moreover, the institutions have failed in their mission to prevent and mitigate crises and to mobilize sufficient financing for internationally agreed development goals.
