Global Economic Recovery

Overview

The Rockefeller Foundation’s Global Economic Recovery team is working with a broad alliance of nations, institutions, and individuals to strengthen and augment institutions that have been held back by obsolete rules and procedures. We’re focused on building a global financial architecture that can mobilize substantially more, and better quality, financing.

What happens next on global economic reforms will signal the world’s commitment to long-term gains rather than short-term payback. Urgent action is needed to preserve the promise at the core of the global economic order, making it adaptable to the 21st century’s challenges and opportunities.
