Panel Discussion – Rethinking Government Resilience
The challenges posed by COVID-19 have exposed the widening gaps and fault lines in governance globally. As governments take steps to emerge from the pandemic and manage the challenges of growth, geopolitical crises, and greater sustainability with tightened fiscal budgets, they will need to build institutional resilience to perform well in the future.
