Welcome to the Growth Blog

The Growth Blog is a forum for you - the policy maker, the academic, the student, and the interested citizen of the world - to agree, disagree, or simply to engage current practitioners on policies and issues critical to development. This platform was inspired by the series of meetings that the Commission on Growth and Development held around the world over the course of the last two years. Of the many lessons that emerged in the deliberations, the one that stands out is that inclusive growth requires inclusive thinking, and inclusive discussion.

By Kate Bird, Program Leader, Growth and Equity Programme, Overseas Development Institute

However, a study of ten countries, led by the Overseas Development Institute, shows the crisis is having a dynamic affect. The nature, severity and duration of impact will vary between and within countries, with the sharpest effects in the most globalised developing countries.
