The New Rules for Global Finance Coalition was incorporated in 2006 as a non-governmental organization, with the aim to promote reforms in the rules and institutions governing international finance and resource mobilization, in order to support just, inclusive and economically sustainable global development. New rules is a networking, idea generating, nongovernmental organization that convenes critical actors and policymakers from developed and developing countries to identify politically feasible and technically sound solutions to systemic issues of international finance and resource mobilization which impede inclusive development. New Rules for Global Finance believes that financial institutions, rules and players have a major impact on the lives of ordinary people, not just the rich, famous and politically powerful. We maintain that financial institutions can be understood and influenced, but it is important to learn the "language" and to pull back the curtain that protects secretive behavior.
