Description
This session will debate the nature and scope of new industrial policies and explore their implications for investment and sustainable development. The discussion aims to uncover the underlying reasons for the resurgence of such policies in recent years and investigate whether these policies are adequately designed to address their stated objectives, e.g. to support the green and digital transitions, and at what cost for society, compared to alternative policy measures and considering their potential economic and political implications for investment and sustainable development in third countries. By sharing critical insights on their design and potential impacts, this session will help policymakers and other stakeholders understand and reflect upon strategies to navigate this new era of industrial policies and continue to advance on sustainable investment and development objectives.
