Discussion Papers - Old | G-24

Discussion Paper Series

The G-24 Discussion Paper Series is a collection of research papers that were prepared under the Research program of the Intergovernmental Group of

Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs (G-24). It was administered by UNCTAD’s Project of Technical Support. This Project’s aim was to enhance

understanding of the complex issues in the international monetary and financial system, and to introduce a development dimension into the discussion

of international financial and institutional reform.

The Program was funded by contributions from member and observer countries of the Group.

It received financial support from the International Development Research Centre of Canada and from the Governments of Denmark and the

Netherlands.
