Developing Nations: Facing Political and Economic Uncertainty - Horasis Global Meeting 2022
Channel: Horasis Org
Date: 2022-05-20

Businesses do not like uncertainty – but inequality, weak political institutions, a corrupt ruling class and environmental & infrastructure challenges persist, especially in developing nations – and sadly, in developed nations. What are of the solutions that business can influence? What better guidance might be given by global institutions like the IMF or World Bank to whom developing nations turn for financial aid?  How can developing nations & economies diversify away from agriculture, fuels and mining that are often exploited or sold to or by sanctioned nations?  What is the role of public markets, and exchanges, especially with regard to improving governance and transparency? How can the international community and business demonstrate there is a premium on the integrity of the state: and on capacity building after COVID and the Ukrainian debacle?
