Time & Location

About the event
The event will discuss the UN’s flagship annual report on the global economic outlook. This year’s report projects stalling growth in the major economies, particularly in Europe, and highlights growing risks from the global environment for emerging economies, including trade and debt challenges. The report makes recommendations for policymakers to go beyond monetary policy to help the global economy, and advocates for reform of the global financial architecture to support greater mobilization of climate finance and reduce debt burdens in those vulnerable economies.
