GDP Center Hosts T20 Workshop and Public Panel

On February 28, 2019, the Global Development Policy (GDP) Center hosted a T20 workshop entitled ‘Toward G-20 Principles for International Monetary Fund (IMF) Reform.’ 

The T-20 is an official group of parallel global ‘think tanks’ to the G20 process. Japan hosts the 2019 G20 Summit and has formed a T20 Task Force on the International Financial Architecture that is co-chaired by GDP Center Director and Professor of Global Development Policy Kevin P. Gallagher.

One of the main topics of focus is principles for reform of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the global financial safety net in general. The roundtable is a T20 Japan associated event.

Building on rigorous academic research and utilizing a peer review process, the task force will produce a brief policy paper for the G20 summit. An example from the 2018 T20, which was co-authored by Kevin P. Gallagher and was presented in Argentina earlier in December 2018, may be found here.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the GDP Center hosted a public panel discussion, entitled, “The Future of the International Economic Order: Perspectives from the Global South.”
