The Multilateral Reform Working Group (MRWG) is a special project of the Bretton Woods Committee that is addressing how the multilateral system can be strengthened to deliver global economic prosperity in a new era. In this period of economic uncertainty brought about by the rise of inequality, climate change, and war in Ukraine, strengthening the global commons and promoting international cooperation requires new tools and a new way of thinking.
Comprised of a diverse group of experts in finance, economics, public policy, and international affairs, the MRWG will undertake analytical research and develop policy recommendations to enable better growth outcomes, increase sustainable and inclusive development impact, enhance the effectiveness of development finance, and steer the IFIs to take the lead in tackling a new era of challenges.
BWC’s Multilateral Reform Working Group is taking a broad and comprehensive view of the challenges facing multilateral institutions and are adopting a scope of work to match that task. To understand further the focus of their work, please read the following Issue Note published by the co-chairs.
