7-8 December 2009 - OECD Conference Centre, Paris, France
The theme for the 8th Global Forum on International Investment will be “Beyond the Crisis: International Investment for a Stronger, Cleaner, Fairer Global Economy”.
The global economic crisis has already wiped out trillions in global wealth and the prospects for 2009 and even into 2010 are grim. This is why governments and international organisations like the OECD have put so much effort into developing new policy strategies for bringing the crisis to an end.
This conference will focus on two core elements of any strategy aimed at ending the crisis and achieving sustainable, long-term economic growth:
Discussions will be grouped under 3 broad sub-themes:
-
re-establishing a balance between markets and government
-
keeping markets open for international investment
-
the different ways that international investment can be part of the solution
