Background

The global financial crisis has highlighted the importance of macroeconomic and financial market stability as a public good, both on the national and international level. The crisis has not only drawn attention to the importance of comprehensive and efficient financial market regulation and supervision. The scope and severity of the crisis have also made clear the need for greater cross-border cooperation of national authorities and an efficient functioning of international financial organisations to counter the effects of the crisis and prevent new ones from occurring.

Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and the first signs of global economic recovery, this dialogue seeked to examine the scope for strengthening global macroeconomic and financial cooperation to foster global growth and sustainable development and prevent new crises. Topics to be addressed included the macroeconomic policy challenges that arise from persisting imbalances, the associated protectionist risks for the global trade regime, the ways and means for a globally coordinated “better regulation”, as well as the G-20 agenda on financial regulation and access to finance in developing countries.

Conference Concept

This two-day dialogue aimed at discussing the main economic policy challenges for the G-20 and the world economy, and emerging and developing economies in particular. It provided a platform for mutual learning and peer-to-peer discussion about the challenges for strengthening global economic cooperation and securing financial market stability and development in order to enable global growth and sustainable development.

In a series of conferences with partners from India (March and November 2009), China (May 2009), South Africa (May 2009) and Mexico (December 2009), the dialogue between policymakers and researchers from Germany, international organisations and important emerging economies has been focused on regional approaches to the challenges of financial stability and the global financial crisis. This event in Berlin was supposed to bring together and discuss views from major emerging and developing economies, as well as from German, European and international bodies on topics which are of great importance for allowing healthy and sustainable recovery of the world economy and for preventing new crises.

The InWEnt-DIE-dialogue placed particular emphasis on an exchange between government officials and academics to address the public policy-oriented issues related to macroeconomic and financial stability and global economic governance. It brouoght together policy makers and policy advisors from relevant public institutions and academic research from Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa with their peers from international and German bodies. 

The exchange of results of in-depth analysis and sound political assessment should help to shape policies with regard to upcoming new challenges to the global financial system. Cooperation and networking opportunities offer a starting point for future coordinated action.
