17. Global Development 2010: Shifting Wealth

18. Perspectives on Global Development 2010 T he changing dynamics of the global economy over the last 20 years, and the impact of the economic rise of large developing countries, such as China and Brazil highlights the strengthening of “south-south” links – the increasing interactions between developing countries through trade and foreign direct investment. In 2009 China became the leading trade partner of Brazil. As of 2008, developing countries were holding USD 4.2 trillion in foreign currency reserves, more than one and a half times the amount held by rich countries. These are just a few examples of a 20-year structural transformation of the global economy in which the world’s economic centre of gravity has moved towards the east and south, from OECD members to emerging economies, a phenomenonal “shifting wealth”. Perspectives on Global Development shows how developing countries have become important economic actors and demonstrates the dynamism of the new South-South economic ties. Although the process has been ongoing for 20 years, the opportunities and risks for poor countries posed by shifting wealth are only starting to be understood.
