Industrial Policies for the Developing World: What Can Developing Countries Do Themselves?

From subsidies to the new US trade barriers, high-income countries are leaning in to industrial policies. But many of these policies are putting even more pressure on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), which were already contending with high debt burdens, flagging growth, shrinking capital and aid flows, rising climate costs and risks, and conflict. 

How should LMICs design and target their own industrial policies as a way to boost growth in a worsening global environment? Which policies are likely to work best? What lessons from the East Asian growth miracles are still relevant today? 

Join CGD for a fresh and timely look at LMIC industrial policy choices.
