Global Reserve Bank.to manage it. Bhumika Muchhala argues in this article for the
Bretton Woods Project that the urgency of democratising multilateral economic and financial governance has never been greater. Global reserve allocations could be made akin to a global public good if defined by unconditional, predictable and needs-based characteristics..
