IMF meet to focus on economic growth, job creation in Arab World

WASHINGTON / WAM

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), Arab Monetary Fund (AMF), Arab Fund
for Social and Economic Development (AFESD), and the Government of Morocco are to co-host a high-level conference in Marrakesh, on January 29-30, 2018, on promoting higher economic growth, job creation, and inclusiveness in the Arab World.
“Opportunities for All: Promoting Growth, Jobs, and Inclusiveness in the Arab World” will bring together high-level policy makers, corporate executives, academics, youth, media and civil society representatives from countries in the Arab World and beyond to exchange their experiences, lessons and ideas on how to create millions of jobs by exploiting new sources and sectors of growth.
Building on the 2014 Amman conference “Building the Future”, which highlighted the need for growth to generate jobs and for its benefits to be shared more widely, the 2018 conference aims to
move the dial on discussions on inclu-
sive growth in the Arab World from
endorsement to implementation.
