2021 Annual Meetings | Growth in a Time of Crisis: What's Ahead for Developing Economies
Global growth is set to reach 5.6 percent in 2021, the strongest post-recession pace in 80 years, yet the recovery is expected to be highly unequal within and across countries. Additionally, the pandemic has amplified existing social and economic gaps. Can inclusive growth be sustained during and after this crisis? Our Annual Meetings offer a unique opportunity to interact with government officials, youth leaders, development experts & people on the frontlines of the resilient recovery from the pandemic.
