OECD GLOBAL FORUM ON INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT VIII

Beyond the Crisis: International Investment for a Stronger, Cleaner, Fairer Global Economy 

Paris, 7-8 December 2009

		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 will focus 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

Registration

Participation is by invitation only. There is no conference fee but registration is mandatory. Enquiries concerning registration should be addressed to investment@oecd.org.
