IGC Growth Week 2010 public discussion
To achieve the millennium development goals, many low income countries in Africa and South Asia require public expenditure increases equivalent to 10-20 per cent of their gross national product, according to UN estimates. To reduce reliance on foreign aid and financial inflows, policymakers across the developing world are seeking to improve domestic resource mobilisation; that is, the generation of savings from domestic resources and their allocation to socially productive investments
A distinguished panel of policymakers from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, join with a leading economist from Michigan University to discuss the importance of and challenges to domestic resource mobilisation.
Nadeem ul Haque is Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission in Pakistan.
Anup Mukherji is Chief Secretary of the State of Bihar, India.
Masihur Rahman is the advisor for economic affairs to the prime minister of Bangladesh.
Joel Slemrod is Paul W. McCracken Collegiate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy; Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan. He is an LSE alumnus.
This is the last public event of Growth Week, a three day conference organised by the International Growth Centre. The previous public event is at 4.30pm on 22 September and is entitled Reforming Educational Systems.
