Global Future Councils
Global Future Council on the New Agenda for Fiscal and Monetary Policy
What are the new approaches to applying the tools of economic policy for shaping a new, inclusive economy? The COVID-19 crisis has laid bare the fragilities of our economic systems, and the breadth, depth and speed of the transformations that our economies and societies are undergoing have accelerated exponentially. The unprecedented nature of this shock has fostered the temporary adoption of economic policies previously considered radical by orthodox economic theory. Key themes to address include new approaches, proposals and pilots reshaping tax and public spending, monetary policy and managing public debt. The Global Future Council on the New Agenda for Fiscal and Monetary Policy will develop new thinking and influence change and action through the Forum’s Platform for Shaping the New Economy and Society and shape key inputs to the Great Reset initiative.
