The Results of the G7 Italian Presidency in the Finance Track

At the beginning of 2018, Italy assumed the G7 Presidency in a context characterized by critical political and economic tensions, with the risk of causing a stalemate in the global governance.

Having acknowledged these difficulties, the Italian Presidency worked, also through an effective diplomatic strategy, to reinstate the G7 at the center of the global arena, alongside the G20, that in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis had become the primary forum for international coordination, notably in the areas of global economic governance and financial regulation.

A complete assessment of the results of the Italian Presidency in the Finance Track will only be possible next year, by analyzing the way the G7 Canadian Presidency will continue the work started in 2017; nevertheless, Italy has the merit to have exploited the available room for manoeuvre effectively.

First, in some areas (e.g. international taxation, fighting against terrorism financing and cyber-security), it has built on the existing G7 agenda, achieving notable progresses, such as the Declaration on fighting tax crimes and other illicit financial flows and the Fundamental Elements for Effective Assessment of Cyber-security for the Financial Sector.

Second, further cooperation has been enhanced in key areas, such as digital economy and cyber insurance markets, while additional work streams have been opened, notably on the nexus between growth and inequalities and on IFIs coordination, where significant results, including the Bari Policy Agenda, have been obtained, in spite of the different sensitivities among G7 countries.

A Symposium on growth, inequality and regulation opens the G7 meeting in Bari

The G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting got under way today in Bari with a Symposium at the Castello Normanno Svevo. Not open to the general public, the topics discussed included the promotion of inclusive growth, the fight against inequality, and the links between finance, regulation and growth.

During the course of the Symposium, representatives from the G7 countries and the international institutions involved in the Bari meeting (the European Commission, ECB, IMF, World Bank and OECD) interacted with a panel of world renowned economists.

The first session, titled ‘Growth and inequality’, opened with contributions from Philippe Aghion, Professor of Economics at Harvard University, Giuseppe Bertola, Professor of Economics at the University of Turin, and Sir Angus Deaton, Professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University and 2015 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics.

The discussions began with an analysis of current developments in the world’s economy, with particular emphasis on the conditions of the middle classes. Over the last thirty years, the income gap between developed and emerging economies has narrowed significantly, as have poverty levels worldwide. On the other hand, there has been an alarming increase in inequalities within the advanced economies, a phenomenon that according to the Symposium’s participants calls for a coordinated and inclusive response. Policies on education, technological innovation and integration are key to any solution: effective and broad ranging interventions from Governments and international organizations in these areas can help overcome the limits of the current development model, benefiting in particular the younger generations.

The second session, titled ‘Finance, regulation and growth’, featured contributions by Philip H. Dybvig, Professor of Banking and Finance at Washington University’s Olin Business School, Randall Kroszner, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business and former Governor of the Federal Reserve System, and Hélène Rey, Professor of Economics at the London Business School. The debate centered on the delicate balance that must be struck at global level between the need to ensure the stability of the financial system and that of creating a climate conducive to sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth. In this regard, one of the themes that emerged very clearly from today’s Symposium was the need for the responses of regulators and politicians to take better account of the actual characteristics and requirements of a system undergoing profound and rapid change. In this area too, close and effective international cooperation can help to ensure that competition and technological progress become motors of integration, sustainable development and widespread wellbeing.

The Symposium concluded with a keynote speech by the World Bank’s Chief Economist, Professor Paul Romer.

"Innovating Southern Italy - Minister Padoan's preface"

Never is the social and economic destiny of a territory a matter of coincidence or the outcome of an unalterable path. Conversely, such destiny always results from choices made by local communities and the direction imparted by the national government. Within the economic history of Southern Italy, in spite of growth reiteratedly alternating with stagnation, a constant feature lies in the presence of elites that hampered social dissemination of economic progress.
Yet, Southern Italy’s industrial vitality endured all overturns and today expresses productive activities that have succeeded in attaining excellence by smartly competing in global value chains, such as aerospace, automobile, pharmaceuticals, and agri-food. For the occasion of the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting, we wish to give way to a number of success stories rooted in the productive fabric of Southern Italy’s Regions.
Such experiences stem from the successful combination of multiple factors: human resources quality appealing foreign investors; deeply rooted skills often dating back to ancient trades and traditions; and the positive function performed by the State, which favoured enterprises increase in size and stimulated investments from other regions both of Italy and abroad. Such success stories are evidence that benefits for wide segments of Southern Italy’s population can result from clear distribution of roles between central government and local authorities, effective drive to such valuable distribution, and rigorous use of funding resources. These stories teach us that cooperation between the European dimension (funds availability, expenditure control, and best practice sharing), the national dimension (effective selection of incentive mechanisms, collaboration with non-central level) and the local dimension (efficient use of resources and identification of ad-hoc place-based strategy) enable attaining large-scale results.

Why hold a G7 Meeting in Southern Italy? (statement form minister Padoan and from the governor Visco)

Italy is famed worldwide for the beauty of its landscapes and the exquisite artistic heritage that is to be found throughout the peninsula. But Italy is also one of the five major economies in the world in terms of its trade surplus and 221 of its products rank first in global export charts. Much of this industrial production – not only in fashion and design for which the country is a byword, but also in some specialist areas such as precision machinery - is associated with the North of the country.
International public opinion, however, overlooks the industrial tradition of the South and some of its superb products. This is not just about tourism and food production and processing. The South has well-established districts that are part of global supply chains in industries such as mechatronics, aerospace and pharmaceuticals. Cars built in the South are exported all over the world, as are engines for the most popular models of aeroplanes, innovative components for new aircraft, satellites, and molecules with therapeutic properties.
The growth of the South and its development prospects are linked to the quality of its people, the flexibility and innovative capabilities of its entrepreneurial class, as well as some public policies. Of great importance among the latter have been government choices to set aside previous welfare practices and instead to introduce measures to improve the conditions under which business is conducted.
The financial resources of both Italy and the European Union have made a major contribution to this development and will continue to do so. But the success stories of companies and regions in the South that have become fully integrated into international supply chains in an increasingly globalised economy indicate that – beyond simple funding – some specific policies are even more important for development. For example, incentives to stimulate innovation and backing up local action with management skills provided by the central government.
We therefore wanted the meetings of the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors to take place in one of the liveliest regions of this part of Italy that is also attractive and dynamic in terms of industry and human capital. This choice is intended, too, to emphasise the role that public policies have played here and can play everywhere in overcoming the obstacles to development that the accidents of history sometimes place in the path of progress.
