Dubai Economy, in partnership with the Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG), has launched ‘The Great Economic Reset Programme’ as part of the efforts to reshape the emirate’s economy and reset it towards a more agile, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive post-pandemic future. The Programme features robust analysis of current and future policies, rigorous research and extensive stakeholder consultation to set the direction and tone of future economic policies, regulations and initiatives.

As a first step, experts and thought leaders from different parts of the world were brought together in this ‘Virtual Policy Council,’ an engagement platform run by MBRSG, to discuss the enduring impacts of COVID-19 on different facets of the economy and potential policy responses and initiatives. The first roundtable of the Council was held as an invitation-only forum where distinguished global experts shared their assessment of the mega-disruptions of the pandemic on the future of globalisation, the future of education and the future of work.
