[Session 6: Policies II (Fiscal, Structural and Trade Policies)]

This session will discuss fiscal, trade and structural policies. What are the implications of low growth and low interest rates for fiscal policy frameworks and implementation? What structural and fiscal policy reforms are best suitable for long term potential growth? After several decades of trade growing faster than output, what can we expect from trade in the future? Is the recent slowdown in global trade growth fully explained by the slowdown in output growth, or is there any role of other factors, such as global rebalancing?
