**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a committee's work on development planning, international trade, and economic policies. The mention of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Economic Outlook report from the International Monetary Fund suggests that the text is focused on economic issues, specifically trade and development.
