The Ministry of Finance is hosting a two-day, G7-related symposium on March 22-23, 2023, titled The Destabilizing International Order and New Policy Coordination, inviting representatives from some of the world's leading thinktanks and other experts from around the globe.
During the pandemic, the international community faced a host of challenges, from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a mismatch between supplier and demand due to supply chain problems, inflationary pressure from climbing energy prices, widening disparity, and more. More than ever before, the international community must come together in solidarity to address these challenges.
This symposium will bring together experts from thinktanks in both developed and developing countries to discuss the issues that Japan and other countries should grapple, and to discuss new means of coordinating policy, with a focus on international economics and finance.
