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 looks at the most common fears around migration.
The rate of growth of displaced people in the world is alarming. A 100 million is the latest UNHCR estimate -which equals to 1 per cent of the global population.
This stark anti-record reflects the precarious state of the world we are in.
The War on Ukraine, other conflicts, human rights violations, persecutions and violence are behind the unprecedented movement of people.
At the same, as the Covid-19 restrictions are being lifted across the world, the economic migration is expected to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels.
For centuries, the world has been living with the idea that migration has to hurt us and bring the world down. But why? Why are we so afraid of migrants?
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.
