Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Zimbabwe views the initiative as an opportunity to influence the rules governing the financing system it is attempting to re-enter. The platform brings together developing economies seeking a stronger collective voice in sovereign debt management. However, the country's immediate debt-resolution prospects will continue to depend on its own economic reforms.

The World Bank's Annual Meetings in Bangkok are currently concentrating on development within African markets.
