An Anticrisis Plan for the 21st Century: Preventing the Frequency and Severity of Financial Crises

Astana, Kazakhstan

May 21-22, 2014

Partners

Overview

This conference organized by Kazakhstan represents this nation’s desire to lead by example as one of the smaller emerging markets and one that can offer insights at least on issues related to the advantages and disadvantages of being in the immediate vicinity of a large country, on regional monetary cooperation, the impact of commodities and commodity price volatility and the role of a SWF as a long term public sector buffer and/or savings vehicle.
The main purpose of the conference is to push forward the adoption of a World Anti-Crisis Plan that can include the opinion of a group of smaller countries that have proven successful in increasing economic freedom, raising standards of living, guaranteeing social stability and tolerance, as well as in cooperating with international institutions. These countries often play the role of passive observers, but together they represent an important group and can play a crucial role in resolving global economic problems.
