Navigating the Evolving Geoeconomic Landscape in the Caucasus and Central Asia

Growth in the Caucasus and Central Asia remains robust and broad-based. Still, the region is exposed to geoeconomic developments and countries face heightened uncertainty amid tentative signs that trade, financial flows, and migration patterns are changing. Moreover, boosting medium-term growth will require effective reform implementation. In this context, what policies and reforms can help countries create a predictable environment conducive to investment and sustainable economic growth? A distinguished panel of speakers explores these pivotal issues and many more from the IMF’s latest Regional Economic Outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia and take questions from the audience during the Q&A portion of the event.
