World Economic Vulnerability Monitor
As one of the "joint crisis initiatives" taken by the Chiefs Executives Board (CEB) of the United Nations System, UN-DESA has started developing an Integrated Monitoring and Analysis System (IMAS) which aims at establishing a reliable monitoring and analysis system to alert policy makers about vulnerabilities that could hurt countries under changing global economic conditions. IMAS tries to address three challenges:
- To bring existing information together into an effective monitoring framework that allows for real-time assessments of the economic and social impacts of changing conditions in the world economy
- To analyze risks related to different types of shocks, their transmissions, and likely effects on developing countries and various population groups
- To inform policy makers so that they can design adequate responses and monitor the effectiveness of the policy actions taken
