Development, Sustainability and Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies
Organized by the Society for the Study of Emerging Markets
Developing and emerging market economies have introduced major reforms in the past decades and experienced significant economic growth. However, the growth patterns have differed among economies, resulting in significant structural changes in economic activity and volatility in both product and financial markets. An important challenge for policy makers in these countries is the ability to sustain economic reforms and maintain a positive, sustainable economic growth trend.
