Only weeks before the disastrous earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the World Bank completed its East  Asia and Pacific Update on the theme ‘Securing the Present , Shaping the Future’ (The Update is available at http://go.worldbank.org/0B8QITE7U0.) How far reaching will be the impact of the disaster on what the Bank assesses to be a ‘strong regional economy’? 

The ACT Branch of the AIIA is pleased that the principal author of the World Bank report, Dr Ivailo Izvorski, who is in Australia to give official briefings, is prepared, at short notice, to share his insights at an informal AIIA roundtable.    

Discussion will cover both the Update and preliminary views on the impact of the disaster.

 

 

 Ivailo Izvorski is a Lead Economist in the East Asia Region of the World Bank and the Principal Author of the East Asia and Pacific Economic Update. Previously, Dr Izvorski worked on Central Europe and the countries of the western Balkans in the Europe and Central Asia Region of the World Bank, including as a resident economist in Bosnia and Herzegovina.  His  earlier work experience includes the Institute of International Finance and the International Monetary Fund.  Dr Izvorski  holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University. He is a Bulgarian national.
