In-person only event
Many middle-income countries have set themselves a race against time: achieve high-income status within the next two to three decades. However, their odds are not encouraging, given headwinds in the global economy. Most countries that have risen from low-income to middle-income status have become stuck in a “middle-income trap”. Yet several pathways to success remain wide open.
This upcoming edition of the World Development Report identifies what countries can do to escape the middle-income trap and, in doing so, it illuminates the development pathways open to all countries.
During this event on 26 March, World Bank Chief Economist and Senior Vice President Indermit Gill will present some of the preliminary findings of the report. We will reflect on policy implications and hard choices required for countries to leap from middle-income to high-income status.
Speaker:
- Indermit Gill, World Bank Chief Economist and Senior Vice President
Moderator:
- Cinzia Alcidi, Senior Research Fellow, Head of Economic Policy Unit, and Head of Jobs & Skills Unit at CEPS
Discussant:
- Andreas Kopp, Senior Research Fellow at CEPS
