The recent global financial crisis not only changed the global economic order, it changed the way we think about many aspects of that order. While the search for answers continues, it is clear that emerging countries and the rest of the developing world have a large stake in the restoration of growth momentum in industrial countries. 

Four institutions including Department for International Development, U.K.; the National Council for Applied Economic Research, New Delhi, India; New York University’s Stern School of Business; and the World Bank have come together to organize this workshop on October 7 and 8, 2010 at New York University’s Stern School of Business that will discuss what post-crisis adjustments will be necessary to sustain industrial country growth in the medium-term. While growth in the major emerging economies can help, it can be only one element in industrial countries’ growth strategies.
