For a new International Financial Architecture

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 In the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, it is “outdated, dysfunctional and unjust”.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.

The dialogue was specifically designed to allow International Geneva to dissect and exchange ideas on the ongoing negotiation process towards the ‘Pact for the Future’.
