  • 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?  

    This is a time for countries to seize the opportunity to put in place reforms and other policy structures to ensure strong, green, and inclusive growth that addresses the needs of all, including women and those at the base of the pyramid.  

    Join us in a conversation with our distinguished panel as we explore actionable policy insights to support inclusive growth in developing economies.
