The Role of Local Governments in Promoting High Quality Growth

01 July 2021

via Zoom. 

 

Under the High-Quality Growth agenda, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) seeks to rebalance its economy by addressing the negative side effects of a long period of unprecedented economic growth, and local governments will have a key role to play in the implementation of that agenda. At this webinar, some critical aspects of the fiscal and institutional environment in which local governments operate, will be analyzed and proposals are offered for the strengthening of local government finances. Special attention will be given to the policy implications of the 14th FYP and the post-COVID-19 recovery efforts.
