How to accelerate green, resilient, and inclusive global growth

The world is gradually recovering from the multiple shocks of the global pandemic, high inflation, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The world’s economy has proven to be more resilient than expected, but not without large costs. In the next few years, global GDP is projected to grow at the slowest pace in decades. Downside risks—increasing geopolitical tensions, “higher-for-longer” interest rates, economic slowdown in China, and worsening impacts of climate change—may slow growth even further. The pace of income convergence between poor and rich countries is also projected to decline.

What policy changes are needed to accelerate global growth? What is the right fiscal, monetary and structural policy agenda for the US, China, Europe, and the rest of the world? How to make economic growth more green, resilient, and inclusive at the same time?
