On August 31st UNCTAD released its report on trade and development. The Report says that in order for all developing countries to reach the MDGs and to reduce the large gap in living standards with the more advanced economies, the global partnership for development, stipulated in Goal 8 of the MDGs, needs to be strengthened further.

The Trade and Development Report 2006 aims to be a source of ideas and general principles for designing macroeconomic, sectoral and trade policies that can help developing countries to succeed in today´s global economic environment. Particular attention is given to policies that support the creative forces of markets and the entrepreneurial dimension of investment.

The Report calls for a stronger global partnership for development, as stipulated in Goal 8 of the MDGs, in order for all developing countries to reach the MDGs and to reduce the large gap in living standards with the more advanced economies. But it also argues that this global partnership will be incomplete without and effective system of global economic governance. Such a system should take into account the specific needs of developing countries. At the same time it should ensure the right balance between sovereignty in national economic policy-making on the one hand, and multilateral disciplines and collective governance on the other.
