What effect will China’s response to the Global Financial crisis have on China’s interaction with the international economy?
China’s economic growth has slowed in the second half of 2008, as international credit markets froze and world trade slumped. The authorities responded with the largest monetary and fiscal expansions of any economy in the current global recession, and probably of any economy ever. Real economic activity has responded strongly to the stimulus. Our panel of distinguished speakers will address questions about the long-term effects of these stimulatory policies.
Speakers include:
- Professor Ross Garnaut, Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow and Professorial Research Fellow, The University of Melbourne
- Professor Yiping Huang, Professor of Economics at the China Centre of Economic Research at Peking University
- Dr Guonan Ma, Chief Economist for Asia at the Bank of International Settlements
- Dr Ligang Song, Director of the China Economy and Business Program at The Australian National University
