DFI helped to facilitate a meeting in New York on the role of the IFIs (G20, UN, IMF, World Bank, OECD and FSB) in combating in-country income inequality. The meeting was co-organised by New Rules for Global Finance and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and assembled academics, representatives of the IFIs and independent analysts to examine how their mandates could be interpreted to fight inequality in an SDG context.
The meeting reached strong conclusions on key “transmission mechanisms” through which the institutions should be expected to reduce inequality. It will be a key input into a New Rules report on the IFIs and Inequality to be launched early in 2017.
