The pandemic has worsened gender inequality, keeping girls and women out of school and work. Yet economic and financial policies can help empower women and girls, improving economies today and building resilience against future shocks.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva joins Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Melinda French Gates, Nigeria's Minister of Finance the Hon. Zainab Ahmed, and UN-Women's Sima Sami Bahous for a discussion on how the IMF, International Financial Institutions, governments, academia, and others can work together to help reduce gender gaps. Lord Mark Malloch-Brown will moderate the discussion.

World Economic Forum Video: Biodiversity as an Asset Class Ep 5: Pricing Biodiversity
With recent failures of the market economy brought into focus by the COVID-19 pandemic, how can such a system possibly cope with the unfolding crisis in biodiversity and nature? Nobel Prize laureate, Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz, from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, argues that nothing less than complete economic transformation can protect natural ecosystems and life on Earth as we know it.
Biodiversity as an Asset Class is a five episode series that profiles leading global thinkers on how we must reconstruct our economic system in order to protect nature and the future of life on Earth. Each episode explores topics that include removing barriers to action, the valuation of natural capital, a nature-positive business approach, and the role of philanthropic capital.

"Once again, the Fed didn't understand the behavioral aspects of markets. So while Chair Powell went out of his way to be balanced, he did a few things that made the market hear just what it wanted to hear," El-Erian says. Rick Rieder, global fixed income CIO at BlackRock, also discusses his takeaways from the November US employment report and credit strategy on "Bloomberg The Open."
