    An Open Letter to the New Zealand Prime Minister, Deputy Prime

    An open letter to the New Zealand Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Finance, from fourteen leading New Zealand international aid agencies No-one is safe until we are all safe 28 April 2020 Dear Prime Minister Ardern, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Peters, and Finance Minister Robertson, We thank you for the unprecedented steps your government has taken to protect people in New Zealand from the coronavirus and its impacts. Today, we ask that you extend assistance to people in places far less able to withstand this pandemic. With your inspiring leadership and guidance, here in New Zealand we have accepted the need for radical action to stop the coronavirus and are coping as best we can. Yet, as you know, even with all your government has done to support people through these hard times, people remain worried about their health and their jobs. Like here, family life has been turned upside down across the world. It’s hard to imagine families crammed into refugee camps in Iraq and Syria, or in the squatter settlements on the outskirts of Port Moresby, living in close quarters, with no clean water close by, no soap, and the knowledge that there will be little help from struggling public health systems. We’ve all become experts at hand washing and staying at home as we try to stop coronavirus and save lives. It is not easy, but we know how crucial it is to stop the virus. What would it be like trying to do this at a single tap in your part of the refugee camp, that 250 other people also rely on? This is the reality for more than 900,000 people in Cox’s Bazaar refugee camp in Bangladesh.

Beate Jochimsen Berlin School of Economics and Law German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Sebastian Thomasius∗ Free University of Berlin Berlin School of Economics and Law German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) February 2012 Abstract The role and influence of the finance minister within the cabinet are discussed with increasing prominence in the recent theoretical literature on the political economy of budget deficits. It is generally assumed that the spending ministers can raise their reputation purely with new or more extensive expenditure programs, whereas solely the finance minister is interested to balance the budget. Using a dynamic panel model to study the development of public deficits in the German states between 1960 and 2009, we identify several personal characteristics of the finance ministers that significantly influence budgetary performance.

Effective international cooperation as well as decisive steps on the part of members will be key for tackling divergence and moving swiftly to a sustainable path for global growth. As vaccines are rolled out and the economic outlook improves, exceptional measures will have to be rolled back in a timely and gradual manner to make way for more sustainable policies that support growth in the medium- to long-term. Global setting and policy priorities The global economic outlook has improved recently, with progress in vaccinations and the announcement of significant additional fiscal support in several major economies. While the recovery should gain momentum during 2021, its speed is still highly uncertain. Risks abound, reflecting foremost the need to deal with new virus strains, structural rigidities, as well as preexisting vulnerabilities, notably high public and corporate debt levels. In this context, policy support needs close monitoring to make sure that it is effective and targeted to specific objectives and needs.
  • Bellagio Housing Declaration

    Bellagio Housing Declaration

    More than Shelter: Housing as an Instrument of Economic and Social Development The Bellagio Housing Conference organized by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University supported by the Rockefeller Foundation May 2005 BELLAGIO HOUSING DECLARATION We, the participants in the Bellagio Housing Conference, having come from five countries — Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand and the USA—together affirm that sound, sanitary and affordable housing for all is central to the wellbeing of nations. Housing is indeed more than shelter: it is a powerful engine that creates opportunity and economic growth. We affirm the following principles: • Housing as a sustained national priority: Housing is a long term process that requires a stable policy framework and demands national priority attention. • Housing as an engine of social and economic development: Housing brings significant benefits in terms of employment creation, domestic capital mobilization and social wellbeing in the face of the major challenges posed by population growth and urbanization. • Housing as an element of wealth: Equity in housing is a basic source of personal and family wealth and can reduce asset poverty. Owning a home is a powerful incentive to save, work harder and commit to strengthening the community. • Housing as connected markets: Well functioning primary and secondary housing markets should provide diverse housing opportunities and secure tenure forms for all. Reducing the gap between low income affordability and the cost of housing requires access to financial instruments that make demand effective. It also requires efforts on the supply-side to reduce the cost of land, basic infrastructure and housing construction. • Housing and government: Government must play an active and appropriate role in enabling, regulating, facilitating and supporting healthy housing markets and housing finance systems.
