As part of the Graduate Institute Summer Programme, we are pleased to invite you to our next Summer Lecture.

Organised by: The Graduate Institute Summer Programme and the Centre for Trade and Economic Integration

Venue: Auditorium Jacques-Freymond (AJF), The Graduate Institute, 132 rue de Lausanne, Geneva

The crisis has delivered a particularly strong blow to export revenues of small developing countries. These nations have limited room for deploying anti-cyclical packages and, as a group, do not account for a significant amount of total world trade. They should thus be temporarily awarded policy space to adopt trade measures to counter the impact of the current economic crisis.
