World Economic Forum Jobs Reset Summit: Building Back Broader in Economic Recovery
· The second Jobs Reset Summit made progress on major reskilling, education and job quality initiatives, including the launch of SkillsLink and the Partnership for New Work Standards.
· A new alliance to address social justice through business action was launched, while 58 multinational companies aligned on their commitments to a racial justice initiative
· Kazakhstan joined the Forum’s global network of countries mobilizing action for gender parity
· The Chief Economists Outlook launched at the Summit forecast a return to over 5.5% global growth within 2021, but coupled with concerns about economic scarring and a disconnect between asset markets and the real economy
The June edition of the Chief Economists Outlook comes out amid improving aggregate recovery momentum, yet in a profoundly uncertain environment with widely diverging trajectories. Across countries, differentiated paths are opening up, determined to a large extent by access to vaccines and the financial resources available to governments. This edition of the Chief Economists Outlook explores the most important forces supporting the recovery as well as important developments and risks that could yet delay or derail it. It draws on the collective views and individual perspectives of a group of leading Chief Economists, through the Forum’s Chief Economists Survey and consultations with the Chief Economists Community.
When can we expect a return to a post-COVID-19 economy and what must be done to address risks and drive inclusive economic growth? Our latest Chief Economists Survey presents insights and expectations from chief economists on recovery measures and the impact of various threats.
Welcome to the 2021 B7 CEO summit.
Every B7 is a moment for global business leaders, across the world, to meet at a pivotal moment in the political calendar – just ahead of the G7. Less than 5 weeks from now.
With seven of the world’s leading economies: the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan, and the US. Coming together – to build consensus.
At the CBI, it has long been our privilege to join these annual summits. But this year we are delighted to be hosting. Alongside our strategic partner today, Deloitte.
And over the next three days, we’ll be joined by our fellow business federations from the G7, senior cabinet ministers, across government, Chief Economists, leaders from the IMF and the WTO and more than 200 UK and global CEOs. From every sector – energy, hospitality, tech, services, transport, education, manufacturing.
