Laura Carvalho explains how national development banks can be empowered to mobilize vastly more investment. project-syndicate.org/commentary/glo…

“While donor governments wring their hands over whether they can afford to give more, the Global South is steadily hemorrhaging resources,” writes our Laura Carvalho. National development banks could be central to a fairer, more effective international financial system.

Despite all the talk of “mobilizing capital” to promote development, the global financial system has enabled a steady process of extraction from the Global South, notes Open Society Foundations's Laura Carvalho. bit.ly/40o1s4e

Quoted from the FT: “The world’s leading economies have agreed to a deal to spare the US’s largest companies from paying more corporate tax overseas, throwing into doubt the status of the biggest global tax deal in over a century.” This is very sad. Nobody who cares about the

Development finance is not just about unlocking more aid; it is about giving developing countries the tools to mobilize their own capital on affordable terms, Open Society Foundations's Laura Carvalho explains. bit.ly/40o1s4e

The G7 is exempting American multinationals from the global minimum tax. It’s pathetic and scandalous.

.Laura Carvalho urges us to imagine a world where multilateral development banks leverage their $1 trillion in capital not to make a few more loans, but to catalyze more than $10 trillion in domestically sourced investment across the Global South. bit.ly/40o1s4e

This is big: Spain and Brazil are kick-starting today a “coalition of the willing” to tax the super-rich The embryo of a new, much-needed, South-North multilateralism putting economic, climate, and social justice at its core

For those interested in what comes next after the failure of 'billions to trillions' in development finance, here's an interesting and quite possible alternate view from Laura Carvalho that foregrounds development banks: project-syndicate.org/commentary/glo…

Financial Times UN Trade and Development UN Development UN DESA Jacob Assa "Mobilizing capital"..."billions into trillions"...etc all fail because they rely on external credit ratings and external borrowing. Empowerment means giving countries their own space and tools to build. Nice call by Laura Carvalho for NDB empowerment prosyn.org/3MbNKr9

#Opinião 📝 Thiago Amparo (Thiago Amparo) | Lula vs. Congresso ou justiça tributária? A imprensa está perdendo a oportunidade de debater seriamente a justiça tributária www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/thiago…

Por que o Congresso Nacional resolveu sabotar o Governo Lula? Porque não admitem aprovar proposta que tributa super-ricos do top 1% da renda para isentar mais pobres. Veja bem, não vão nem pagar mais. A ideia é ficar com a mesma alíquota efetiva da classe média brasileira.

And 3 became 4! Today Chile joins Spain, Brazil & South Africa in backing the Sevilla Platform to tax the ultra-rich. This is the moment ⁦⁦Mario Marcel Cullell⁩ of Ministerio de Hacienda announces 🇨🇱 joinining the fight to deliver fairer tax systems. 🇿🇦🇪🇸🇧🇷🇨🇱 #FfD4 #TaxTheSuperRich

Nada é mais sintomático dos efeitos nefastos da desigualdade extrema sobre a democracia do que a tentativa de rotular o conflito distributivo causado por uma proposta moderada de reforma tributária como uma “retomada do nós contra eles”

Há menos de um mês eu escrevi isso aqui e parecia impossível. A mobilização está aí, nas redes e nas ruas. E tá incomodando quem sempre se beneficiou de sua influência desproporcional no Congresso para ganhar isenções de todo tipo

Mas gente, não é sobre o IOF! É sobre a proposta de reforma do imposto de renda!
