The COVID-19 pandemic forced governments around the world to intervene to prevent a health crisis from becoming an economic crisis. A joint conference May 30-31 with the International Monetary Fund will evaluate the successes, failures, and lessons learned, highlighted by keynote speeches from Heather Boushey of the White House Council of Economic Advisers; Gita Gopinath, first deputy managing director of the IMF; and Lawrence H. Summers of Harvard University.
