The International Economic Governance program examines a broad array of factors that affect the global economy, the international financial architecture and the multilateral trading system. Experts analyze how governments and international institutions respond to current financial dilemmas and propose policy solutions to improve systemic responses to these pressing problems. Specific focus is given to regional trade and investment arrangements, in addition to multilateral institutions.

Projects within the International Economic Governance program focus on the provision of expert advice on the liberalization of goods and services trade; reform of the international financial institutions and the inclusion of the emerging economies in the governance of the international finance; and the implications of regional and global integration on migration and capital flows. IEG scholars also participate in research activities on economic and political developments in the Caribbean, together with partner organizations in the region.
