“Spending Smarter: How Efficient and Well-Allocated Public Spending Can Boost Economic Growth”

We invite you to join a webinar on the Fiscal Monitor October 2025: “Spending Smarter: How Efficient and Well-Allocated Public Spending Can Boost Economic Growth” on Monday 27 October 2025. Amid slow global growth and rising debt, governments must spend smarter. The Fiscal Monitor shows that reallocating spending toward infrastructure and human capital, and adopting best-efficiency practices, can significantly boost long-term output. Strengthening institutions and reforming pensions, health, and public wages are crucial to create fiscal space for growth-enhancing investments. This webinar will be presented by Davide Furceri (Division Chief, Fiscal Affairs Department at IMF and CEPR Fellow) and moderated by Antonio Fatás (Professor of Economics at INSEAD and CEPR Vice President and Fellow).
