With a projected contraction of 5.2% of GDP in the Middle East and North Africa in 2020, the twin shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and declining oil prices risk hampering economic progress. At the same time, the accelerated digitization in the region has the potential to unlock new opportunities and counterbalance these economic downturns.
What policies, practices and partnerships are needed to implement stakeholder capitalism in the region and fully harness the potential of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
This session is associated with the World Economic Forum's Regional Action Group for the Middle East and North Africa.
The first part of the session is open to the public online, the second is only accessible via TopLink.
