UK politician Ed Miliband has criticised the global financial system for failing developing countries, arguing it does not deliver for poorer nations. The remarks add to growing pressure from developing economies and campaigners for reform of international lending and climate finance. Whether such criticism translates into concrete changes in institutions like the IMF and World Bank remains to be seen.
