Policy report: Seven years after the crisis: intersecting perspectives

This conference marked the creation of a structured, policy-oriented platform for dialogue between the Middle Eastern and North Africa (MENA) region and advanced economies. Focusing on economic policies, the platform will discuss long-term growth strategies, industrial policy, energy markets and the cross-cutting theme of youth unemployment. Prominent experts from think tanks, academia policy and business will meet in an interactive intellectual setting to share their perspectives. Most importantly they will generate valuable ideas and proposals, summarised in publications, that will be of use to both participants and interested external stakeholders.
