The coronavirus pandemic shattered the global economy. To put the pieces back together, we need to make sure money is going to the countries that need it the most — and that we rebuild financial systems that are resilient to shocks, says Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund. She takes us inside the massive economic stimulus efforts leading the world toward recovery and renewal and discusses what it will take for countries to emerge from this "great transformation" even stronger than before. (This virtual conversation, hosted by head of TED Chris Anderson and current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded on May 18, 2020.)

31 Comments on How to rebuild the global economy | Kristalina Georgieva

  1. One thing I was curious about is if there was a functioning basic income scheme, wouldn’t that at least keep the consumer spending to be in check?

  2. Chris Anderson did some real home work!! I loved his questions more than the answers she gave..I wish, he would have been Answering too :p with same clarity.

    • Chris’ podcast The TED Interview is excellent for that exact reason, he has the best questions. AND he listens to the answers.
      It seems so obvious, but when you listen to lots of interviews, it’s often not what the hosts are doing.

  3. She was to broad with her answers. Totally looking at it in a capilist point of view. The E-economy helps the 1%. There was nothing in there for the people. One trillion dollars that the IMF is proposing is a joke. Is that for what? I could see if it went for rice or medical equipment. But in the past where did it go? When the rich help the rich. Where does that leave the other 99.9% of the people? Her idea of countries helping other countries is great. What happened when Italy wanted help? When the US cuts the finances of CDC and the WHO. What does that say? We’re fππked.

  4. I just wonder does anyone discover that when chairwoman answers the question, the facial expression of the host turn doubtful?

  5. You re-build the economies around the worl by each economy treating their workers like equal humans they are an making things an everyone working everyone has something to offer. Global economy is enslavement. Open that third eye an see your a captive.

  6. If just every rich man with more than 85gram gold value money gave 2.5% a year to the poor life and community will be better (2.5% islamic zakat) !
