International Banking and World Economic Growth: The Outlook for the Late 1980’s

International debt and the role of international banks in solving the debt crisis is the major problem facing the world’s economies over the next few years. International Banking and World Economic Growth critically examines the world monetary system in terms of its institutions and mechanisms as they relate to liquidity, exchange rates, credit creation, trade and growth. It is a reference book on questions of policy relating to international banking, the world monetary system, and world economic growth in the late 1980s. The volume presents analyses by leading financial thinkers, academics, policy advisers, and top ranking executives of financial institutions and finance ministries. Their combined perspectives offer the reader an analysis of policy aimed at major international banking, IMF-World Bank groups, and governments of key currency countries. Bankers and financial consultants, and students and scholars of monetary theory and international banking will benefit from the analysis and policy perspectives presented in this volume.
