We are seeing a huge shift in the global economy, with the rise of China and India and growing trade flows outside the West - and the trade talks just haven't caught up. Nowadays, you have more protectionist spirit in the West than in the developing countries. That's a big change.

RACHID MOHAMED RACHID, EGYPT'S TRADE MINISTER

New:

  • The Evian Group Arab Region website has been launched.
  • Resources on the Economic Partnership Agreement between the EU and ACP countries being currently negotiated and developmental consequences being questioned by experts, governments and public opinion, check here the report of the last EPAs EU-ACP meeting held on 5th May 2008, co-organised by the Evian Group at IMD and the Groupe d'Economie Mondiale at Sciences Po, Paris.

 


In an increasingly integrated world economy, international and domestic policymakers face the perpetual challenge to keep up with economic progress and deliver prosperity. Global prosperity requires cohesion, coherence and connectivity to the real needs, at all levels. It requires better governance. It requires support communities. As an advocate for global prosperity, The Evian Group engages in collective thinking and action across constituencies, regions and generations.

The Evian Group at IMD brochure is available here.
