IMF SEMINAR EVENT
DATE: April 14, 2016
DAY: Thursday
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
LOCATION: George Washington University, Jack Morton Auditorium
Overview
The need to implement structural reforms to help overcome the new mediocre and address growth challenges is becoming increasingly urgent. But doing so isn’t easy. Reforms that have significant long-term payoffs often go against vested interests and populists pressures. This panel will explore how policymakers can overcome these obstacles as they seek to overhaul trade, improve labor and product markets, and undertake fiscal and financial-sector structural changes to invigorate economies.
This session will be broadcast (at a later date); audience members should be in their seats no later than 9:55 a.m. when the doors will close. No filming or flash photography during this seminar.
