In 1972, the famous first Report for the Club of Rome - 'The Limits to Growth' - showed how an economic system that demands infinite growth in a finite world is fundamentally unsustainable. This new Report explains our present monpolistic money system and the flawed thinking that underpins it.

Since the outbreak of the US subprime crisis in 2007, financial stability has become a pressing item in the agenda of governments and policy-makers worldwide. However, to date, there are no books that provide a comprehensive analysis of financial stability in all of its dimensions. 'Understanding Financial Stability' undertakes an in-depth analysis of all the concepts and issues related to financial stability. It establishes a general framework for a holistic assessment of financial stability, provides a comprehensive analysis pertaining to the genesis of financial crises, and offers key terms and elements embodied in financial stability. Posing the question of whether financial stability should rely only on resilience or predictability issues when it comes to handling crises, the book provides: Extensive coverage of all key issues involved in the field of financial stability; a consideration of the political economy; a complete and in-depth assessment of crises in the world based on full historical coverage; including a definition of crises, various theories of crises, costs related to crises, types of crises and policy responses to crises. This book will prove valuable to central bankers, economists, and policy-makers who are involved in the field of financial stability, as well as researchers studying the field.

The world is presently buffeted by many challenges, some of which manifest in new forms, such as Fintech and cryptocurrencies, while some challenges prevail out of the legacy trailed behind by the 2007 global financial crisis. Financial stability represents a highly complex and multi-dimensional concept. This being so, a sound and holistic financial stability assessment requires a focus not only on the distinct sectors which make up an economy but also on certain key economic areas. 'Economic Areas Under Financial Stability' examines several core areas which interact directly with financial stability. A comprehensive consideration is given to local and international developments, the payment and settlements system, reserves, derivatives,and exchange rates. The book examines critical developments on both the local and international fronts, the systematic risks which characterise the payment and settlements system, different instruments of derivatives, and the significance of fiscal and monetary policy in relation to exchange rates. This book will prove valuable to central bankers, economists, and policy-makers who are involved in the field of financial stability, as well as researchers studying the field.

Traditionally, governments seek to mobilize tax revenues by expanding their enforcement of existing tax regimes and facilitating tax payments. However, enforcement and facilitation can be costly and produce diminishing marginal returns if citizens are unwilling to pay their taxes. This paper addresses gaps in knowledge about tax compliance, by asking a basic question: what explains why citizens and businesses comply with tax rules? To answer this question, the paper shows how the voluntary adoption of two different types of participatory governance institutions influences municipal tax collection in Brazil. Municipalities that voluntarily adopt participatory institutions collect significantly higher levels of taxes than similar municipalities without these institutions. The paper provides evidence that moves scholarship on tax compliance beyond enforcement and facilitation paradigms, while offering a better assessment of the role of local democratic institutions for government performance and tax compliance.

The first part of the Economic Update analyzes recent macroeconomic trends and presents an assessment of the country's short- and medium-term outlook. The Kyrgyz economy has remained resilient to the adverse regional environment, but growth prospects are modest and adjustments needed.Overall, the macroeconomic situation improved slightly since the shock stemming from Russia's recession hit in [late 2014]. In the medium term, growth prospects should improve as remittances and the external demand environment recover.However, although risks have moderated, they remain elevated. The main sources of risk relate to possible adverse developments in neighboring economies, principally related to oil prices and exchange rate dynamics. This implies the need to rebuild fiscal buffers over the next 2-3 years through a mix of expenditure consolidation and revenue mobilization. The Special Focus Section discusses tax revenue reforms, presenting the findings of a recent World Bank Tax Administration Diagnostics Assessment (TADAT).
