V. Reddy, Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India Jeffrey Sachs, Director, Center for Sustainable Development, Columbia University Justin Lin, Dean, Institute for New Structural Economics and the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development, Peking University MODERATOR: Stefania Palma, Singapore Correspondent, Financial Times Asia has made remarkable progress over the past fifty years and is now at the forefront of the world economy in many ways—the region is the predominant driver of global growth, the nerve center of world trade, and an increasingly important contributor to the knowledge frontier. But Asia’s economic performance now faces fundamental challenges, including a possible global move toward protectionism, slowing productivity growth, rapid population aging in some countries, and the digital revolution, which may be as disruptive as they are transformative. What will these trends mean for the region, and what can policymakers do to ensure that Asia remains at the forefront of the world economy over the coming fifty years? The seminar will cover a wide range of issues including trade as an engine of growth; boosting productivity growth; addressing population aging; and the digital revolution. Some of these themes will also be discussed in our forthcoming Regional Economic Outlook Asia at the Forefront: Growth Challenges for the Next Decade and Beyond. JOIN THE CONVERSATION: #IMFASIA POLICY Social Protection and the Future of Work ISSUES TIME: 2:00 p.m.–3:15 p.m. VENUE: Bali International Convention Center (BICC), WE-2-Nusantara 1 & 2 Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics, London School of Economics Sharan Burrow, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation Nora Lustig, Samuel Z. Stone Professor of Latin American Economics and Director of the Commitment to Equity Institute (CEQ), Tulane University Michal Rutkowski, Senior Director for Social Protection and Jobs, World Bank Group MODERATOR: David Lipton, First Deputy Managing Director, IMF Rapid technological change promises higher economic growth, but it also presents many challenges. As new jobs are created, others are lost, and the burden of adjustment can be heavy for some. At the same time, the benefits of growth might not be equally shared, with capital owners and the higher skilled benefiting more than others. Technological change, in combination with increased globalization of product and factor markets and liberalization of labor markets, often comes with increasing employment and income uncertainty throughout many peoples’ lives. Working lives will involve more frequent transitions across jobs and job statuses. Are today’s social protection systems up to the challenge? Do these developments require rethinking how society deals with increasing risk? What is the role of enhancing human capital to address inequality of opportunity? What is the role of redistributive taxes and transfers? Or is a bigger rethinking of public policy needed, rather than just doing the old things better?

The session will focus particularly on areas where trade reforms can make the greatest contribution to the global economy and on practical ways to advance reforms in those areas, including through the World Trade Organization.

Sarkozy’s pres- holder of the American idency follows those of the Socialist François Mitterrand Political Science Associ- ation's Stanley Hoff- (1981-95) and the neo-Gaullist Jacques Chirac (1995-2007), mann Award (2007) for who together occupied France’s highest political office for his writing on French more than a quarter-century. Whereas Mitterrand and Chirac politics. bowed out in their seventies, Sarkozy comes to office aged only fifty-two. For the first time, the French Fifth Republic has a president born after the Second World War, as well as a presi- dent of direct immigrant descent.1 Sarkozy’s emphatic victory, with 53 percent of the run-off vote against the Socialist Ségolène Royal, gave him a clear mandate for reform. The near-record turnout of 84 percent for both rounds of the election reflected the public demand for change. The legislative elections of June 2007, which assured a strong majority in the National Assembly for Sarkozy’s centre-right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), cleared the way for implementing his agenda over the next five years.2 This article examines the political context within which Sarkozy was elected to power, the main proposals of his presidential program, the challenges before him, and his prospects for bringing real change to a France that is all too evidently in need of reform.

    July 15, 2020 Ambassador Robert E. Lighthizer U.S. Trade Representative 600 17th St. NW Washington, DC 20508 Re: Docket No. USTR-2020-0022: Initiation of Section 301 Investigations of Digital Services Taxes Dear Ambassador Lighthizer: The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) welcomes the U.S. Administration’s recognition that digital services taxes (DSTs) that have been adopted or are under consideration in ten jurisdictions – Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, the European Union (EU), India, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom (UK) – raise concerns under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. These unilateral measures advance a troubling precedent, unnecessarily depart from progress toward stable and sustainable international tax policies, and will disproportionately impact U.S.-headquartered companies. In accordance with the notice and request for comments published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on June 5, 2020, ITI respectfully submits the following written comments on the Administration’s initiation of Section 301 investigations of these ten measures.1 In our comments, we provide USTR with evidence to support a determination that these new DSTs – like the French DST – are unfair trade practices under Section 301 because they are discriminatory, unreasonable, inconsistent with prevailing international tax principles, and unusually burdensome for affected U.S. companies. Notably, many of the DSTs are structured similarly to the French DST and share the same problematic features that USTR identified in its Report on France’s Digital Services Tax (French DST Report),2 including scope limitations and revenue thresholds that are meant to target U.S. companies and shield domestic companies.

    How Macron Won It All The French president as master kingmaker. he French did it again. By recalling Christine Lagarde, who has served as managing director of the International Monetary Fund since 2011, from Washington and throwing her into the race to succeed Mario Draghi as By Klaus C. Engelen head of the European Central Bank, French President Emanuel Macron effectively won the real power game in the competition for the top European positions after the May elections for the European Parliament. But since Macron helped nominate, in a big surprise, Ursula von der Leyen, Tthe Brussels-born francophone long-time member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government, to lead the new EU Commission, the disappoint- ment in Germany of not seeing Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann chosen as Draghi’s successor may have been somewhat mitigated. HOW MACRON GOT THE POLE POSITION When the race for the new EU chief executive began, the French presi- dent started questioning the system of Spitzenkandidaten (lead candidates). Macron referred to the Lisbon Treaty, which left the Council in the lead role to select and propose a candidate whom the European Parliament then would have to confirm with an absolute majority. The Council consists of the heads of state or governments of the member countries, together with its president and the president of the Commission. In Macron’s view, the 2014 European election, when the center-right European People’s Party got Jean-Claude Juncker elected Commission president with the help of the Progressive Alliance for Socialist and Democrats, was THE MAGAZINE OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY an aberration to be corrected.

  • The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesia
    WP/17/2013 WORKING PAPER THE MONETARY POLICY REGIME IN INDONESIA Solikin M. Juhro Miranda S. Goeltom 2013 The conclusions, opinions and views of the authors in this paper are those of the authors alone and do not constitute the official conclusions, opinions, and views of Bank Indonesia. 1 The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesiaa b Solikin M. Juhro and Miranda S. Goeltom Abstract The challenges encountered after the financial crises of 1997 98 and 2008 09 have revealed some valuable lessons with regard to monetary policy. In a small open economy, such as that of Indonesia, the multiple challenges facing monetary policy as a result of capital flow dynamics, amid inflationary pressures, suggest that the monetary authorities should employ multiple instruments. This paper shows that coordinated implementation of a policy instrument mix should ultimately be part of an important strategy for optimally managing the monetary policy trilemma in the current climate, which is fraught with widespread uncertainty. It also shows that a post-GFC monetary policy framework in Indonesia is, generally, nhanced hanced to an inflation target as the overriding objective of monetary policy. The main characteristics of ITF will remain, namely, that the inflation target is announced publicly and that the monetary policy is forward-looking, transparent, and clearly accountable. However, the ITF is implemented in a more feasible manner, which means that Bank Indonesia must not only look at the inflation target merely in terms of policy formulation but also consider a number of other factors, including financial sector stability and the dynamics of capital flows and the exchange rate.
