Managing Openness: Trade and Outward-Oriented Growth after the Crisis

The World Bank Group and ECIPE

invite you to a book launch and discussion: 

Managing Openness: Trade and Outward-Oriented Growth after the Crisis 

Managing Openness: Trade and Outward-Oriented Growth after the Crisis, a new World Bank book, contributes to this important debate by presenting a comprehensive analysis of trade-related aspects of the crisis. The authors give crucial insights into how countries can manage outward-oriented growth in the post-crisis environment, including: 

• the continued relevance of the export-led growth model in the post-crisis environment, and the increasing importance of South-South trade; 
• policy instruments to help manage the risks that come with increased openness; 
• lessons learned from the crisis for particular countries and regions 
• effects of emerging trade policy issues – such as climate change, commodities, global production networking, and migration – on the prospects for recovery and outward-oriented growth. 

Mona Haddad, Sector Manager at the World Bank’s International Trade Division and co-editor of the volume, will present its key findings. Commentary will then be provided by Hosuk Lee-Makiyama (Director, ECIPE) and Bertin Martens (Deputy Chief Economist, DG Trade) before opening for Q&A. The chairman will be Roderick Abbott, Senior Adviser at ECIPE.

Please RSVP by April 13 to info@ecipe.org
