Cecilia Malmström (PIIE) and Kristalina Georgieva (International Monetary Fund)

This episode introduces our new host of Trade Winds, Cecilia Malmström, former European commissioner for trade and now PIIE nonresident senior fellow. Anabel González will return periodically as special guest host.

 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) extended important financial relief and assistance to support members during the pandemic, but what comes next? How does the IMF assess the prospects for recovery? Can the trading system facilitate the equitable distribution of vaccines? And as governments explore ways to reduce carbon emissions, what role will climate play in the future global trading system?
