Description

This session will focus on implications of globally emerging industrial policies for global co-operation and dialogue on sustainable investment policy. As these policies gain traction in the leading advanced and emerging economies, governments worldwide are confronted with the need to respond to the risks and opportunities that may arise from shifts in international investment and trade patterns deriving from such policies. At times of rising geopolitical tensions and complexity, emerging and developing economies may particularly find themselves increasingly exposed to global FDI and trade fragmentation. This session will thus consider how governments, and particularly developing economies, can work to maximise benefits while minimising risks in this new environment, and how the international investment policy community can help to promote global integration and foster international policy coherence and co-operation for sustainable investment globally, especially between advanced and developing economies.
