Steering Sri Lanka towards Sustainable and Inclusive Development
Harvard University’s Center for International Development has done an initial growth diagnosis on Sri Lanka and has identified the following key areas they believe are important to support sustained and inclusive long-term growth.
- Macroeconomic and Fiscal Stability
- Structural Transformation and Competitiveness
- Urbanization and Development
- Regional Development and Social Inclusion
This economic forum is structured around these key areas of risk and opportunity, with several internationally-respected thought leaders invited to share their perspectives with the Government of Sri Lanka.
Speakers include:
- Ricardo Hausmann – Director, CID
- Joseph Stiglitz – Professor of Economics, Graduate School of Arts and Science, Columbia Business School
- George Soros – Founder/Chairman, Open Society Foundations

Symposiusm on Inclusive Growth and Development
October 1, 2015 | 6:00 pm – October 2, 2015 | 6:00 pm
The Center for International Development at Harvard University is collaborating with the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Meta-Council on Inclusive Growth and the MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth to find sustainable and scalable solutions to foster inclusive growth.
The project began in March 2015 with a “call for practical examples and ideas” – open to those in the Network of Global Agenda Councils of the World Economic Forum, various Forum communities including Global Shapers and Young Global Leaders, as well as to those in academia, governments, think-tanks, non-profits, private sector or working independently. It will culminate in a two-day symposium at CID on October 1-2, 2015, during which those behind the best examples or ideas of practices, policies and institutional models will meet with other leaders to discuss how to best move them forward.
The Symposium is an invitation-only event, but a live web stream is available for the public. To learn more about the proposals and agenda, visit www.growthsymposium.org.
