Financial Sector Development and the Millennium Development Goals
This study investigates the relationship between financial sector development and progress in reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It assesses the contribution of countries' financial sector development to achieving the MDGs. The focus is on the relationships between financial development and economic welfare and growth, and the following four MDG-themes: Poverty, Education, Health, and Gender Equality. In doing so, the book reviews the theoretical channels, surveys existing empirical evidence - both cross-country and case study evidence, and provides new evidence. Financial Sector Development and the Millennium Development Goals finds that financial development is an important driver for economic welfare in that it reduces the prevalence of income poverty and undernourishment. In addition, new evidence is provided of a positive association between financial development and health, education, and gender equality.

United Republic of Tanzania
The global recession has had a significant impact on economic performance and the outlook in Tanzania. Tanzanian banks were not directly affected by the global financial crisis, but second-round effects of the crisis have intensified the risks to the financial sector. Domestic liquidity tightened considerably at the onset of the global financial crisis but has since eased, owing to a significant loosening of monetary policy to help mitigate the economic downturn. The policy response of the authorities included a rescue package designed to support sectors affected by the crisis.

The Finance and Growth Nexus Re-Examined
A large theoretical and empirical literature has focused on the impact of financial deepening on economic growth throughout the world. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating whether this impact differs across regions, income levels, and types of economy. Using a rich dataset for 150 countries for the period 1975–2005, dynamic panel estimation results suggest that the beneficial effect of financial deepening on economic growth in fact displays measurable heterogeneity; it is generally smaller in oil exporting countries; in certain regions, such as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA); and in lower-income countries. Further analysis suggests that these differences might be driven by regulatory/supervisory characteristics and related to differences in the ability to provide widespread access to financial services.
