ADBI Drives T20 Innovation For Advancing Global Recovery

Tokyo, Japan – The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) has championed the development of new evidence-based proposals to help Group of 20 (G20) leaders navigate COVID-19 challenges and advance sustainable and inclusive global recovery, ahead of their 21-22 November 2020 summit.

Five ADBI-led Think20 (T20) policy briefs were produced in coordination with the task forces of the T20, the think tank engagement group of the G20 hosted by Saudi Arabia in 2020. The policy briefs were among those spotlighted during the 2020 T20 Summit and related meetings, providing guidance for the G20 Leaders' Summit.

ADBI Dean Tetsushi Sonobe said the COVID-19 crisis has reaffirmed the importance of policymaking informed by empirical research and the potential impact of T20 recommendations. He also urged think tanks to deepen their collaboration to promote timely COVID-19 era policy breakthroughs.
