Summary: | This note examines one of the most
fundamental questions to emerge from the Great Recession of
2007-9: how to regrow global economic growth going forward?
Although all are painfully aware that it may be 2013 or 2014
before the global economy returns to normalcy, no one is
sanguine about medium- to long-term growth prospects. For
this reason, the challenging task of 'regrowing
growth' will take center stage for politicians and
policy makers alike. One point is clear: without a
resurrection of strong economic growth in major economies,
the likelihood of rapid economic development in poor
developing countries is diminished. How various elements
will affect growth prospects is less clear, but vitally
important. In the terminology of Hausmann and Rodrik (2003),
this is a process of discovery and we are in somewhat
uncharted territory. |
