Why now? As the global economy enters a second decade since the financial crisis, business leaders, policymakers, and financial markets are exploring all the diverse ways to foster growth amidst heightened uncertainty – while economic optimists urge us to look past the headlines to long-term trends, to create new opportunities despite predictions of doom. Urgent questions? What strategic moves are businesses using to optimize positive outcomes? What partnerships across developed and developing economies will promote global ​prosperity?
