Delegations from over 100 countries, including approximately 60 ministers and 40 deputy ministers, will participate in the 16th session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan announced on Monday.
The forum, organized with the support of Switzerland, will take place from October 20 to 23. Trade and finance ministers, heads of international organizations, Nobel laureates, and leading economists will gather in Geneva to explore ways to make the global economy more predictable, inclusive, and resilient. 1,700 people have already registered to participate.
"The Secretary-General of the United Nations will be joining us, further underscoring the importance of this event," Greenspan said. "The UN's largest trade conference in four years comes at a critical time for global trade and multilateral cooperation."
According to her, the decisions made at the forum will impact the future of trade and global development policy. The discussion will focus on how countries can cope with record debt levels, supply chain disruptions, unstable investment flows, and accelerating digital transformation.
"Development is not a luxury, but a necessity," Greenspan emphasized. "We need to restore confidence in the economy, and the global economy must work for the benefit of all."
