In the context of escalating geopolitical tensions, environmental challenges and rapid technological change, industrial policies – state-led strategic interventions designed to reshape an economy’s production structure – have made a comeback in both advanced economies and emerging markets. These policies seek to address global market failures such as climate change, foster economic growth, boost innovation and improve competitiveness. However, they have a mixed track record and pose complex challenges, which this panel will explore.
Tis discussion examined whether and how emerging markets can use industrial policy to drive sustainable economic growth, diversify economies and enhance competitiveness while navigating global geopolitical uncertainty and avoiding the mistakes of the past. It also explored how these economies can manage the delicate balance between national competitiveness and international cooperation.
Speakers:
Richard Porter, MD, Communications, EBRD
Beata Javorcik, Chief Economist, EBRD
Jeromin Zettelmeyer, Director, Bruegel
Bernardo Sestini, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SIAD Group
Leslie Maasdorp, CEO of British International Investment

The new episode of the EBRD’s Fearonomics podcast explores the risks of future pandemics.
With new cases of monkeypox globally detected, the looming risks of growing anti-microbial resistance and the impact of climate crisis, is the next pandemic just around the corner?
The IMF has recently forecasted the global cost of the Covid-19 pandemic will rise beyond $12,5 trillion through 2024, fuelled by vast gaps in vaccination rates, widening divergence between rich and poor and disproportionate gender impacts.
But we have yet to suffer many of the hidden costs of the pandemic.
Such as the impact of education missed, the toll taken on mental health, the eroding of trust in governments.
Listen to Jonathan Charles, the EBRD’s Managing Director of Communications, in discussion with Sergei Guriev, former EBRD Chief Economist and currently Professor of Economics at Science Po, and Beata Javorcik, the EBRD’s Chief Economist who is also Professor of Economics at Oxford University.
Are we ready for the next pandemic?
