S1E1 Ukraine: challenges to meet immediate economic needs, and prepare for post-war reconstruction

Episode Summary

What are the reference points for Ukraine Reconstruction? What are the economic policy priorities during wartime? What are the security and institutional requirements for reconstruction to succeed? And what are the necessary coordination mechanisms required to effectively manage multiple stakeholders during reconstruction? These four questions dominated a closed roundtable held in Geneva on October 9th 2023; sponsored by the Swiss MFA, and co-organised by the CCDP, RAND Corporation and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES)- Ukraine office. Eliza Urwin, the research director of the CCDP is joined by Senior RAND economist Howard Shatz, and CCDP Director Keith Krause to summarise the discussions, and offer policy recommendations for the US, EU, and Swiss Government. They also discuss potential objectives for the upcoming Ukraine Reconstruction Conference hosted by Germany in 2024.
