  Panel Discussion

  The rising protectionism around the world has cast a shadow on the global economy, trade, and finance. How do developing countries cope with it and take further collaboration on the new economy, multilateral trade, international financial regulation? With rapid development, emerging markets and developing economies have hugely increased their weight in the international economic and financial system, but their voice and influence haven't matched the new status. How do they better integrate into the global financial system by enhancing multilateral collaboration and prompt multilateral financial institutions to adopt a more balanced, and more up-to-date governance structure? How do multinational corporations tackle the challenges and further expand their share in the global market?
