Chief Economists Roundtable: The Growth Outlook for Developing Economies

Global economic growth is expected to slow in the near term amid persistent inflation pressures, tight monetary policy, and elevated debt levels. The longer-term outlook is equally troubling: at current trends, potential growth—the maximum rate the world economy can grow in the long term without igniting inflation—is expected to fall substantially. This event brings together the chief economists of key global and regional financial institutions to explore what policymakers can do to achieve stronger, more sustainable, and more inclusive growth.
