country
Countries like Canada, Korea, China, Germany can and should use fiscal space. Some of them are doing it, not all.
world elsewhere middle-class
When in one area of the world the standard of living and the size of the middle class increases, it is going to have an effect elsewhere in the world as well.
world economy trade
It so happens that because all the economies are strongly inter-connected and aggregated, there is trade that is happening not just from China to the rest of the world, but from the rest of the world to China as well, and that is going to continue.
innovation globalization enjoy
We would not be enjoying those cellphones and those tablets at the price where they are had it not been for globalization, both in terms of trade and in terms of constant technological innovation.
father perspective passed-away
When my father passed away and then when later on I gave birth, those are sort of ground-breaking experiences that put everything else into perspective.
economy
When women do better, economies do better.
responsibility loss gains
All stakeholders must participate in the gains and losses of any particular situation.
globalization direct productivity
Improved productivity is another direct benefit of globalization.
inspiring mean accountability
Tackling climate change is a collective endeavour, it means collective accountability and it's not too late
thinking diversity growth
I think there are multiple studies now to demonstrate that diversity, a better balance between genders, but also between different fields as well, is actually conducive to better growth, better bottom line, better results.
country people risk
Regulation is necessary, particularly in a sector, like the banking sector, which exposes countries and people to a risk.
diversity trade
Of course, trade agreements can be beneficial, but of course they need to avoid infringing on certain areas and respect diversity.
jobs boys men
It's a question of not so much pushing the boys out of the picture, but making the whole frame bigger so that both men and women access the labor market, contribute to the economy, generate growth, have jobs, and so on.
running nice issues
If climate change issues are not adequately addressed—if we keep running those nice energy subsidies, if the price on carbon is not adequately set, if policymakers don’t have it on their radar screens—then financial stability in the medium and long-term is clearly at stake.
