High-level Economic Policy Conferences
OAP organizes high-level policy conferences for senior policymakers to exchange views and find solutions for macroeconomic policy challenges in the region. These conferences focus on current policy issues and have covered topics such as climate finance, inflation, and financial crisis management, among others. They are often organized jointly with both internal and external partners, including central banks, finance ministries and thinktanks in the region. The conferences often serve as peer-to-peer learning opportunities for invited officials from Asia.2024
