En economías monetarias de la producción, el dinero crédito es el medio para las transacciones de intercambio entre los agentes económicos. El dólar, moneda hegemónica, ha jugado un papel importante en el desarrollo económico, político y social durante las últimas siete décadas de constantes crisis económicas y financieras. Sin embargo, el dólar se está desdibujando en los mercados emergentes. Las tensiones financieras están surgiendo a raíz del alza de las tasas de interés por la injerencia de los bancos centrales y por el creciente endeudamiento de los países soberanos. Lo anterior, sumado a la crisis del cambio climático, así como al avance de la economía digital y a una frágil recuperación del empleo, vuelven necesario el análisis y el estudio del comportamiento del crédito. El libro Crédito, dinero y mercados emergentes. Crisis y retos en el nuevo orden monetario internacional aborda los cambios ocurridos a nivel mundial cuyo resultado fue la conformación de un mundo multipolar con implicaciones en los circuitos financieros.
Three decades after the birth of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, profound changes have been observed in the international economic system. Today, this intergovernmental forum faces major challenges in implementing its ambitious agenda in the areas of economic liberalization, trade facilitation and cooperation among member countries. Readers of this book will find in it a detailed diagnosis of its evolution and achievements, but also of the problems it faces in the present "crisis of multilateralism", triggered by the neo-protectionist policies of the United States. In order to achieve this objective, leading national researchers from public and private higher education institutions, most of which are members of the Mexican Consortium of APEC Study Centers, were invited to participate under the leadership of the APEC Study Center located within the University Program for Asian and African Studies (PUEAA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
