ADSG hosts sustainable economy masterclass with Dean of INSEAD Business School

Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Abu Dhabi School of Government (ADSG), the leading government platform for developing human resources in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and part of the Department of Government Support, hosted a high-level masterclass for Director Generals, executive directors and senior leaders in the Abu Dhabi Government. The masterclass, entitled Economic Growth and the Middle-Income Trap, was presented by Ilian Mihov, Dean of INSEAD and professor of macroeconomics.

The masterclass, held in the presence of His Excellency Ali Rashid Al Ketbi, Chairman of the Department of Government Support, sought to evaluate the rapid ascent of several Asian economies and other emerging markets around the world. The session prompted thought-provoking questions on the sustainability of growth in countries such as India and China, and if Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey, and Nigeria will follow a similar growth trajectory. Further, emerging trends in the economic landscape were placed in a framework to better understand economic development, and to assist with evaluating sustainable growth in markets.

The organisation of this masterclass comes as part of the ADSG’s continuous efforts to collaborate with leading entities, such as INSEAD, to connect Abu Dhabi Government employees with experts from across the globe to promote knowledge sharing and
