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 have put so much effort into developing new policy strategies for bringing the crisis to an end.

This conference focused on two core elements of any strategy aimed at ending the crisis and achieving sustainable, long-term economic growth:

• the need to maintain markets open for international investment
   
• the need to improve investment environments around the world
