Lunch Program | Promoting Prosperity in a World in Transition
Michael Klowden, Michael Milken, Jane Harman, Jim Yong Kim, Tidjane Thiam
At the midpoint of the Milken Institute Global Conference, a high-level panel featuring former Secretary Robert Gates, Paul Ryan, and leaders including Jane Harmon, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and Tijan Fafé analyzed the economic imperatives of global prosperity and the $4 trillion gap required to meet Sustainable Development Goals. The discussion centered on leveraging private sector innovation and demographic shifts in emerging economies to fund critical investments in human capital, health, and education, culminating in the launch of the Disruptive Technology for Development fund to support infrastructure leapfrogging in developing nations. Speakers emphasized that addressing instability in Africa and the Middle East through targeted rule of law and wealth management strategies is essential for preventing future conflict and securing long-term global security.

MI Summit 2013 - London: Global Overview: Is Confidence Returning?
Willem Buiter, Ann Cairns, Ed Daniels, Alexander Friedman, Tidjane Thiam, Gillian Tett, Alex Freeman
Panelists characterize the global economy as experiencing a muted recovery led by the United States' manufacturing resurgence and private sector deleveraging, while Europe remains stagnant due to banking sector constraints and political gridlock. Distinct regional dynamics highlight Asia's strategic pivot toward sustainable growth amid credit risks and Africa's demographic dividend driving unprecedented expansion, contrasting sharply with Japan's stagflationary threats. Looking forward, investment strategies prioritize innovation hubs in the U.S. and Sub-Saharan Africa, though experts warn of imminent banking crises and geopolitical instability in energy-dependent regions requiring urgent structural reforms.
