The ongoing pandemic is the ultimate stress test for global cooperation. Initial responses at the institutional level helped to contain the negative impact on economies but public finances and labor markets face fast-growing pressures. How can international cooperation move from survival mode to proactive strategies to help rebuild national economies in inclusive and sustainable ways?

This latest webinar in the Salzburg Global Finance Forum online series assessed how international financial institutions have performed during the COVID-19 crisis and identify continuing faultlines in global cooperation. Senior policymakers, industry representatives and participants explored how new cooperation frameworks and active leadership can further support the recovery, accelerate resilience and address rising inequality.
