In 2003, as global growth gained momentum, private capital flows to developing countries increased to USD 200 billion - their highest level in five years. Harnessing these gains to promote long-term investment and growth is the key theme of Global Development Finance 2004.

II: Summary and Country Tables includes comprehensive data for 136 countries that report under the World Bank Debtor Reporting System, and summary data for regions and income groups. It contains data on total external debt stocks and flows, aggregates, and key debt ratios, and provides a detailed, country-by-country picture of debt.

The long phase of expansion that lasted from the 1980s until 2008 was driven by easy money, cheap imports and confidence - all gone. And the shift of geopolitical power to Asia is permanent. This does not mean that Western economies are inevitably condemned to 'lost decades' ahead.
