The crisis has set back progress toward the MDGs. To regain momentum, a broad range of policy actions will be required. Above all, it is vital that strong and sustained global economic growth be restored.

The IMF is publishing a background paper ahead of the MDG summit that focuses on the following topics:

How to secure a strong and sustainable growth?

How to expand trade for the poorest countries?

How to scale up investment for growth?

How to build resilience to shocks?
