Crisis, finance and growth
• The acute phase of the crisis is over, but with a muted recovery it will take several years to undo the damage
• In the medium run higher capital costs will reverse the process of capital deepening, lower potential output, and slow growth
• Developing countries may overcome the medium-term impacts by strengthening their domestic financial markets
Development Prospects GroupSpreads appear to have stabilized at
about 150 basis points higher than during the boom period

Development Prospects GroupCrisis will have serious poverty
impacts
• Increase in the global count of extremely poor of 64 million in 2010
• Possible 35-50,000 additional children in Africa may have died of malnutrition in 2009
• Unless aid is upped, program spending will have to fall even as need climbs
Development Prospects GroupBoom period conditions will be
reversed
• Growth acceleration in developing countries was due to improved fundamentals (60%) and increased global liquidity (40%)
• As a result of the crisis capital costs will rise, capital deepening will be reversed and growth of production potential will slow
