Global Finance, Trade & Investment Council (GFTIC)



Inflation–growth trade-offs, financial stability backstops, regulating crypto & CBDCs, WTO reform and balancing de-risking with decoupling.

Intermediate Committee

The Global Finance, Trade & Investment Council (GFTIC) examines how Middle East and North African economies can stabilize growth while tackling debt, inflation, and trade disruptions driven by regional conflict. Rising unemployment, food insecurity, and volatile markets highlight the urgent need for balanced monetary and fiscal policies. Delegates will debate the inflation–growth trade-off, financial stability backstops, and the risks and opportunities of cryptocurrencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The council will also explore reforms to global trade rules that better reflect the Global South. Desired outcomes include policy frameworks for inflation management, CBDC regulation, and inclusive WTO reform.
