Task Forces
Financial Markets Reform
Among the most important issues for countries to achieve sustainable, long-term growth are the development of a strong financial sector and the extension of credit to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This task force will work towards a new paradigm in the regulation of financial markets; one that both serves prudential purposes while also providing incentives for banks to extend credit to companies that need it the most, when they most need it.
Task Forces
Migration
At its first meeting, IPD's Migration Task Force discussed the costs and benefits of migration through four types of migration and different policies.
