5 May 2021. The 16th informal meeting of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Finance Ministers was held on the sidelines of the 54th Annual Meeting of the ADB Board of Governors. The theme of the informal meeting was “Economic Recovery from COVID-19: Toward Inclusive and Resilient Growth.” Participants discussed fiscal and other macroeconomic policies that help South Asian economies to recover.
2020 is a special year for China as it marks the deadline to achieve goals of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, implementing the 13th five-year plan, and winning the decisive battle against poverty.
This launch event will discuss how China should continue to develop its agricultural industry in a global context to meet the goals above, and how China and the world should respond to challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and support the poor and vulnerable groups.
The China Agricultural Sector Development Report 2020 (CASDR) analyzes the domestic and foreign macroeconomic and agricultural industry conditions. The report reviews the important events in 2019, including the persistence of trade frictions between China and the United States, the spread of African swine fever, etc. Besides, the report assesses the competitiveness of China’s agricultural industry from the perspectives of total factor productivity, international trade and production cost. The report provides studies on the impact of COVID-19 on China’s agriculture and farmers’ income; research on the recovering of pig production capacity and its key influencing factors; and simulations of the impact of fall armyworm on China’s corn industry in 2020. Moreover, it summarizes the characteristics of 18 important agricultural product industries development in 2019 and prospecting trends in the next two years.
The IFPRI 2020 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR) highlights the central role that inclusive food systems play in meeting global goals to end poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and offers recommendations for making food systems more inclusive for four marginalized groups – smallholders, women, youth, and conflict-affected people. The report also provides analysis on transforming national food system in several countries like Bangladesh and Ethiopia, and advice on development of food system in different regions worldwide. As for China, smallholders and other marginalized groups are affected by African swine fever, trade disputes between China and the United States, COVID-19 and other uncertainties. Their livelihoods, food security, and nutritional status require particular attention. GFPR calls for supporting the poor and the most vulnerable to build inclusive food systems
During the event, an overview of the GFPR's and CASDR's findings will be presented.

This series of workshops advances the work of a comprehensive comparative study of the fiscal histories of eleven Latin American countries. A team of economists in each of the countries will produce a monetary and fiscal history of each country from 1960 to the present. Viewing country specific data as “case studies,” the researchers will test two central hypotheses: first, that bad fiscal and monetary policies led to macroeconomic instability, and second, that macroeconomic instability was responsible for low growth and poor economic performance in this region.

Recently, many economies have come under sharp foreign exchange pressures, reflecting large commodity price declines, volatile external financing conditions, and country-specific factors. This seminar will invite central bank officials from emerging and frontier markets to discuss their recent experiences in dealing with these pressures, including the role of exchange rate flexibility and constraints imposed by the overall macroeconomic policy frameworks and balance sheets.

The 2016 MFM Summer Session held June 11–15 gave doctoral students and other early career researchers a thorough grounding in in macroeconomic modeling. Students learned techniques, data sources, evidence, applications, and methods to assess how the financial sector impacts the economy as a whole. The program brought together leading academics and experts who build and use models to manage system risk in financial and policy settings. Speakers presented models and methods in contexts focused on understanding the last financial crisis—and preventing the next one.

Turkey’s economic and social performance since 2000 has been impressive. However, more recently the country has faced a number of internal and external challenges, notably macroeconomic imbalances, geopolitical uncertainties, changing patterns of global capital and trade flows, and the effects of climate change.
These challenges have tested investor confidence and by the summer of 2018 there has been a significant depreciation of the Turkish lira.
After the formation of the new Government, the authorities responded with appropriate coordinated policy action. Monetary policy was tightened substantially and the New Economic Programme was introduced. This resulted in macroeconomic stabilisation, but at the cost of a sharp slowdown in economic activity.
Meanwhile, the private sector in Turkey is deleveraging. Credit growth, which had been an important catalyst for economic growth in the past, is unlikely to pick up quickly. In the EBRD’s view, the outlook for the medium term is for growth to be below trend.
After local elections in March 2018, the authorities have a four-year window with no scheduled polls on the horizon. They are now considering a range of structural reforms to ensure a more sustainable medium and long-term growth path for the economy. This year’s Investment Outlook Session explored this question from the perspective of a top-level Turkish policymaker.
