		Dervis said that interest rates should come down sharply after the foreign lending comes in, helping to unblock the economic paralysis.

		Dervis: Ultimately the path of a country's development-and the economic reforms needed to move along that path-must be decided upon by its own government and people.
		Dervis: Development-oriented rules on international trade are essential, so that more countries have the opportunity to use trade as an engine of pro-poor growth.
		It is also vital that poor countries are assisted in their capacity to trade, with support given to basic infrastructure needs such as ports and roads, as well as the soft infrastructure of surveillance, customs procedures, and trade negotiation capacity.
