First, the Governors’ symposium, which happens on the sidelines of the regional group meeting, has been playing an important role in terms of discussing and comparing solutions to common economic issues chosen by the Governors. For example, the latest symposium showed the stark differences on our approaches to microfinance and the regulations of this sector.
Second, it is becoming a tradition to complement the regional group meetings with a lecture by an eminent personality. The first of these lectures was organized in Islamabad’s group meeting in June 2013 and delivered by Prof. Ha-Joon Chang, while the second one was recently organized in Dhaka and delivered by the Governor RBI, Raguram Rajan.
