On Wednesday, 9 March, the Peterson Institute for International Economics hosted the E15 Washington Launch Event. This dynamic panel discussion provided an overview of the E15 Report launched at Davos and highlighted options immediately relevant to the broader global trade and investment system.

Elements contained in the report include the 17 policy option papers offering a detailed and comprehensive set of suggestions for improved governance of the global trade and investment system in the 21st century; and a Synthesis Report, interpreting the significance of the proposals for progress on many of the international community’s most important shared imperatives.
