We hear from Yuefen Li, the senior advisor on South South cooperation and development finance in the Geneva-based South Centre. She analyses the initiatives proposed by Brazil during its G20 presidency - the global wealth tax on the ultra-rich and the global alliance against hunger - and looks ahead to South Africa’s presidency in 2025. And she explores the most pressing challenges facing the Global South: from interest rate hikes; to urgent reforms needed in a global financial architecture that has stayed the same despite a massive shift in the world’s geopolitics.

From the International Development Economics Associates - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South.
