Higher Ground: Elevating Economic Productivity in North America for Inclusive Growth

General Panel

The panel discussion will focus on the crucial task of improving economic productivity in the region to achieve long-lasting and inclusive growth. While North America has the potential to become an economic powerhouse, it faces significant challenges such as systemic inequalities, inefficient resource allocation, and opportunities related to migration and labor mobility.

The main objective of the discussion is to generate proposals that can enhance North American competitiveness and drive higher productivity. Through these proposals, the panel aims to facilitate a dialogue on how to optimize North America's economic performance in order to achieve inclusive growth. The ultimate goal is to create a more efficient and fair economic landscape that unlocks the region's full potential for sustained growth.
