This year's Global Economic Prospects argues for reshaping the global architecture of world trade to promote development and poverty reduction. While the most likely scenario is for recovery beginning in 2002, today's slow growth of global trade and weakening financial flows to all but the most creditworthy countries, has impeded growth in developing countries. Global Economic Prospects 2002 concludes that the long-term promise of well-implemented trade reform is therefore tangible: a world with a much higher standard of living, hundreds of millions lifted out of poverty, and a sharp increase in children living beyond their fifth birthday to become productive citizens of the world.
