The Bahrain Global Forum
IISS
‘Rebalancing Global Geo-economic Strategies for Security, Growth and Development’
The Bahrain Global Forum (BGF) has been designed by The International Institute for Strategic Studies as a summit meeting of key political figures, finance and treasury ministers and officials, business people, economists, strategists and leaders of international economic and financial institutions. Its purpose is to examine the manner in which international financial and economic movements affect local, regional and international relations, and to assist the development of sound public policies to deal with the impact of such geo-economic changes.
In common with all IISS policy orientated events, the BGF will encourage a resolutely international perspective on current economic developments and their wider political implications. By bringing together policy makers, business people and experts from across the globe it will help to forge a more widely shared perspective on international economic trends and their implications. Acknowledging the increasingly important role of decision makers in the so-called emerging markets, this IISS annual event will strive give a large voice to policy makers and CEO-level business people from such regions in an effort to blend more effectively opinion and policy from developed and developing economies.
Taking place in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the BGF will convene key delegates from all across the globe both to debate current geo-economic trends and propose improved policies to better balance relations between the developing and developed world, manage global economic relations, strengthen global economic governance, refine the place of economics in conflict resolution, diversify economies, and encourage a global perspective in new centres of economic power.
