Tunis — The final report of the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD) 21st International Symposium recommends exploration of new tracks to favour the setting up of a world economic system that would ensure stability and development in the world.
The Report draws mostly from President Ben Ali's speech at the opening of the Symposium, a speech which the participants used as a reference document, given the wealthy approaches and solutions it proposed.
The key recommendations place emphasis on the need to exert further efforts on the path of reform of the international institutions (International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, etc.) and rehabilitation of the central role of the economic system as a regulator and overseer of the first order.
It is also a matter of setting up a solidary partnership between the industrialised countries and the other world countries, define a better international governance, improve efficiency of mechanisms of development financing, give absolute priority to the tenets of tomorrow's growth (appropriate production, renewable energies, etc.) and create a world environment organisation.
The Tunisian and foreign participants in the Symposium also called to boost women's contribution in the economic development work, to humanise the world economic system and consider Arab economic complementarity as a key guarantor for achieving the region's hoped-for socio-economic targets.
Emphasis was also placed on the stake to submit the economic system to ethical rules and principles, respect of international law and speed up implementation of President Ben Ali's project for the creation of the World Solidarity Fund.
