The Bretton Woods Committee's Multilateral Roundtable is a group of private sector organizations which closely follow the work of the multilateral economic institutions — the World Bank, IMF, WTO and the regional development banks. The founding principle of the Roundtable is the recognition that the private and public sector must work more closely together in an era in which the predominate source of flows to developing countries is from the private sector.

The Multilateral Roundtable provides the member organizations a forum in which to explore policies and issues at the mulitlateral institutions that relate to private sector development, commercial opportunities, global financial stability and social responsibility.

    

Membership in the Multilateral Roundtable is opened to private sector organizations interested in increasing opportunities in developing markets and which support the mandate of these institutions to promote development and enhance social welfare. Companies are typically represented by both senior Washington representatives and headquarters executives with international commercial responsibility.
