Economic Governance / Towards Prosperous Economies
As the world slowly pulls out of the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression, questions regarding economic governance arise, as does the role of the G20 in leading and creating the future framework for prosperous economies. The world in the post financial crisis is of concern to us all and problems that lay ahead need to be solved by reaching mutual consensus.
