In this COVID-19 and US Presidential elections year, there is much for them to consider. One key issue increasingly confounding international trade discussions is multilateral disciplines on industrial subsidies. Western market economies’ concerns over state capitalist models in key developing countries, particularly China, are rising even as massive fiscal and monetary policy stimuli have been rolled out. While the World Trade Organization regulates industrial subsidies payments concerns were growing prior to COVID-19 that its rules were designed for a different era The G20 represents, per its own acclamation the ‘most systemically significant’ economies in the world so what steps should G20 Leaders take to address the problem? What needs to be done, and by whom? Join our distinguished panel for a substantive discussion about these matters, and have your say.Moderator: Profesor Peter Draper, Executive Director, Institute for International Trade The University of AdelaidePresenter: Dr Naoise McDonagh, Lecturer, Institute for International TradeThe University of Adelaide (<a href="https://t20saudiarabia.org.sa/en/briefs/Pages/Policy-Brief.aspx?pb=TF1_PB3" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">T20 Policy Brief</a>)DISCUSSANTS:Ken Ash, IIT Visiting Fellow and Former Director - Trade and Agriculture, OECDDr. Stormy-Annika Mildner, Head of External Economic Policy, Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.
