Inclusive Economies in an Age of Recession
Experts consider whether overlapping global crises, inflation, and slowing growth will bolster or derail efforts to build more inclusive economies.
About this Event
While much of the world has focused on an inclusive economic recovery, fears are growing that the recovery will stall amid the war in Ukraine, persistent inflation, and increasingly aggressive efforts by central banks to tame it. With rising inequality affecting more than two-thirds of the globe, what can be done to avert a global economic crisis? How will this test the resolve of governments to build an inclusive future?
