Global Development Finance 1999

The year 1998 proved to be another tumultuous period for emerging markets, and Global Development Finance 1999 (GDF), the most comprehensive and detailed publication available on capital flows to developing countries, has kept up with the global economy's changing tide. This year's GDF, the World Bank's review of developing countries' external debt and financial flows, devotes special emphasis to the continuing impact of the financial crisis on private and official flows to the developing world. With consolidated statistics for all developing countries, GDF continues as an indispensable reference guide for economists, bankers, country risk analysts, financial consultants, and others involved in investment lending and capital flows worldwide.
