For implementing the Agenda 2030 a stable international financial system is crucial enabling sustainable economic growth. The most recent global financial crisis in 2008 has demonstrated that financial stability is a global public good for which industrial countries, emerging markets and developing countries need take responsibility.

A further focus is laid on the architecture of the multilateral development banks.
