Discussion on Macroprudential Regulation & Global Migration
from two analytical chapters of the April World Economic Outlook

The IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OAP) hosted a webinar on the effectiveness of macroprudential regulation and the economic impact of global migration on September 24. Presenting key findings from two analytical chapters of the April 2020 World Economic Outlook (WEO), IMF researchers discussed whether macroprudential regulation helped countries to withstand the impact of global financial shocks, and how the influx of immigrants and refugees affected the recipient countries’ economies. Nearly 300 people from across Asia joined the webinar.
