World Economic Situation and Prospects 2001

Economic growth in 2000 was unexpectedly and unusually high and widespread. The increase in gross world product exceeded the earlier forecast of 3.5 per cent and was the strongest in more than a decade. This outcome was the result of improvements in all major regions of the world and was associated with double-digit growth in the volume of international trade. The world economic recovery that started in 1999 reached its peak before the close of 2000 but is expected to continue until at least the end of 2001, albeit at a slightly slower pace. The outlook is for global economic growth to moderate from 4 per cent in 2000 to 3.5 per cent in 2001, with the slowdown limited in extent and… World Economic Situation and Prospects 2001

Poverty amidst Riches: The Need for Change

CDP Policy Note
The targets of international development strategies have not been met in the past. A different approach is needed. Implementation should be readily monitored, progress measured and, where necessary, supplementary actions identified. A revitalized flow of development finance through both official channels and private institutions is necessary. Democratic processes of good governance and increased trade openness are also required for a peaceful and prosperous world. More effective integration of the developing countries into the global trading system remains a major challenge. Enhanced access to and improvement of education, skills, infrastructure and new… Poverty amidst Riches: The Need for Change

World Economic and Social Survey 2000

Part I. State of the World Economy Part one of the World Economic and Social Survey 2000 chronicles a remarkable recovery in the world economy after the crisis years 1997-1999. Although the volume of international financial flows has not returned to its pre-crisis level, international financial markets are again displaying a sense of calm. International trade has also largely recovered from the setback it suffered following the financial crises. Part II. Escaping the Poverty Trap Part two of World Economic and Social Survey 2000 identifies a number of critical steps for the poorer countries to break out of their "poverty trap" and find a path to sustained and sustainable development - a… World Economic and Social Survey 2000

Development cooperation in the age of information technologies: the role of the United Nations and its agencies

CDP Background Paper No. 2 By Ryokichi Hirono This paper addresses the growing concern in the international community in recent years with the widening IT gap, or ?information divide? so called, between urban and rural areas in developing

The paper will first look at the current situation of management and utilisation of IT in developing economies and secondly at possible strategies and measures that the United Nations could take to assist developing countries to improve the management and utilisation of IT for efficient, effective, equitable and sustainable development.
