The 1998 Annual World Bank Conference on Development Economics, the tenth anniversary, was held at the Bank on April 20-21, 1998. The discussions focused on four areas of inquiry:1) the role of geography in countries'success, 2) the role of effective competition and regulatory policies, 3) the causes of financial crises and ways to prevent them, and 4) the effects of ethnic diversity on democracy and growth. The welcoming address by World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn, the opening remarks by chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz, and the tenth anniversary address by the International Monetary Fund Deputy Managing Director Stanley Fischer all focused both on the role of the conference and on the changing perspectives for development.

QUOTEEnsuring that the poor will reap some benefit from this much anticipated post-crisis recovery period will require the efforts and collaboration of governments, international financial institutions, the private sector, and civil society, both in crisis and non-crisis countries.QUOTE-James D. Wolfensohn, PresidentPoverty reduction is now more firmly at the center of the Bank's country assistance strategies, with increased efforts to improve the quality of poverty assessments, enhanced monitoring and evaluation of poverty outcomes, and the integration of quantitative with participatory methods.This annual publication reports on World Bank activities in fiscal year 1998, which continued to be aimed at fostering labor-based growth while investing in the development of human capital and providing safety nets. At the same time, Bank activities reflected several new themes: the need to protect the poor from shocks, the role of institutions in implementing policies and providing services, and the importance of participation, partnerships and social capital. The amounts lent under the Program of Targeted Interventions (PTI) has grown from 29 percent of total investment lending in fiscal year 1997 to 40 percent in fiscal 1998, reflecting increased PTI lending in education, social protection, the environment, and to countries in South Asia. The amounts lent for poverty-focused adjustment operations also increased from 52 to 64 percent of total adjustment lending, reflecting efforts to protect the poor hit by the recent crisis in East Asia.The report concludes that the East Asian crisis, as well as other events of the last decade-persistent conflict in some of the poorest African countries, the continuing pain of transition in former socialist economies, and the experience with policy implementation across the world-call for a re-examination of the Bank's poverty reduction strategy, building on the strategy presented in World Development Report 1990 but incorporating new elements as well. This work has begun in preparation for the World Development Report on Poverty which will be published in September 2000.

'Institutions fix the confines of and impose form upon the activities of human beings.' --Walton Hamilton, 'Institutions', 1932. The 'World Development Report 2002: Building Institutions for Markets' undertakes the complex issue of the basic institutions needed for markets to function properly. This year's 'World Development Report' goes beyond a simple examination of institutional structure and explores the functions of institutions. Recognizing that one size does not fit all, the report asks what do all institutions which support markets do? The answer is simple: Institutions channel information, define and enforce property rights, and increase or prevent competition. Understanding the functions that current institutions and their proposed replacements would provide is the first step. The report contends that once you have identified the institutional functions that are missing, you can then build effective institutions by following some basic principles: - Complement what exists already - in terms of other supporting institutions, human capacities, and technology. - Innovate to suit local norms and conditions. Experimenting with new structures can provide a country with creative solutions that work. - Connect communities of market players through open information flows and open trade. Open trade and information flows create demand for new institutions and improve the functioning of existing structures. - Compete among jurisdictions, firms, and individuals. Increased competition creates demand for new institutions as old ones lose their effectiveness. It also affects how people behave - improving institutional quality. These broad lessons and careful analyses, which links theory with pertinent evidence, are provided in the report. 'World Development Report 2002: Building Institutions for Markets' contains selected 'World Development Indicators'.

Annotation This report points the way to the establishment of trust and the encouragement of enterprise. It marks an important milestone in the development of corporate governance, and I cannot commend it too highly.--Sir Adrian Cadbury, London Recently, in Russia, a large share of the profits of an oil company was siphoned off by its controlling shareholder, leaving the company in debt to its creditors, employees, and the state. In the Czech Republic, millions of small shareholders lost their right to fair capital gains as tunneling schemes by insiders stripped privatized companies of their assets. Increasingly for developing and transition economies, a healthy and competitive corporate sector is fundamental for sustained and shared growth-sustained in that it withstands economic shocks, shared in that it delivers benefits to all of society. Presently, many developing and transition economies lack the supporting institutions and human resources so critical to sound corporate governance. The challenge for them is to adapt systems of corporate governance to their own corporate structures and implementation capacities, public and private, to create a culture of enforcement and compliance. For the first time, this report incorporates a framework that encompasses the widely differing regimes--political, economic, and social-within which corporations carry on their activities around the world. It recognizes the complexity of the concept of corporate governance and therefore focuses on the principles on which it is based.

The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.
