There is a wonderful tradition in Bali called canang sari, whereby people offer something of value to the gods to give thanks and to ask for continued blessings. I think we are doing something similar here.
We have come to Bali from all corners of the globe to “make an offering” of our work together—the 189 member countries of the Bretton Woods institutions. It could hardly be more timely.
The first dimension, more familiar, includes the monetary, fiscal, and financial layers of our economic interactions. The second dimension, more challenging, comprises inequality, technology, and sustainability. Both dimensions are macro-critical.
We noted recently that public and private debt has hit a record $182 trillion—224 percent of global GDP, about 60 percent higher than 2007.
To prevent this, countries’ domestic policies need to be complemented by a global financial safety net. Some of the resources for that could come from regional financing arrangements—the Chiang Mai Initiative, for example.
Fintech certainly has the potential to unleash economic dynamism and reduce poverty, especially by providing financial services to the 1.7 billion people who currently have no banking access.
Together with the World Bank and other partners—we have launched the Bali Fintech Agenda to help guide our joint endeavors.
But I want to finish with some ancient wisdom found in the Bhagavad-Gita. It says: “In all actions, consider the common good.”

Me: Yeah, its about your question, not the answer. Isn't it?

Pada dasarnya, ia menulis Don Quixote bukan buat memenuhi ambisi literernya, melainkan menjaring uang. Ia berharap, perundungannya yang brutal, baik lewat lelucon-lelucon gondes maupun tangan-tangan karakter lain, terhadap Quixote bisa membikin novel itu disukai banyak pembaca dan menjadi buku laris.

Stimulating conversation with my friend @Winnie_Byanyima @Oxfam. We discussed the worrying state of economic inequality and what policy makers can do about it, including through fairer taxation, more effective social spending, and doing more to help women get decent jobs.
