This event was the third in a new series entitled Global Dialogues as a Response to the Global Economic Crisis. Launched in November of 2008, this initiative was created in response to client requests for related education on the causes and consequences of the global financial crisis. The global dialogue series is geared specifically towards policymakers from client countries, with the goal of facilitating real time cross-country discussion covering the economic effects related to the current turbulence within financial markets, potential policy responses and additional dialogue regarding related issues.
Hosted in Washington D.C., the following global videoconference event focused on the impacts of the crisis and assessed the macroeconomic and financial policy responses required to address the crisis and to manage the growth and distribution effects. Senior officials from Brazil, China, India, Macedonia, Mexico and South Africa attended the conference via video conference. Additionally, Professor Guillermo Calvo of Columbia University, spoke in regards to macroeconomic policy challenges facing the countries, followed by Professor Patrick Honohan of Trinity College, Dublin, who discussed financial sector policies in European countries. |
