CFR STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS CONFERENCE CALL SERIES

Global Imbalances and the Financial Crisis

Wednesday, May 6
4:00 to 4:30 p.m. (ET)

with

Steven Dunaway
Adjunct Senior Fellow for International Economics, CFR

On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), I invite you to participate in the next session of the CFR State and Local Officials Conference Call series on Wednesday, May 6, 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. (ET). To continue our series on the global economic crisis, Steven Dunaway, adjunct senior fellow for international economics at CFR, will discuss his Council Special Report "Global Imbalances and the Financial Crisis." The report argues that policymakers must go beyond stimulus packages and financial bailouts to address one of the root causes of today's financial crisis: imbalances between savings and investment in major countries.

Prior to joining CFR, Dr. Dunaway spent twenty-five years at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), where he held a wide variety of country assignments ranging from Australia and New Zealand to Indonesia and the Philippines. From November 2001 to December 2008, he was primarily responsible for directing the IMF's country work on China and headed the IMF's consultation missions with the Chinese government. Prior to working at the IMF, Dr. Dunaway worked for ten years at the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the U.S. Department of Commerce doing analysis and forecasting of U.S. international transactions.

Please reply to this email or call Jessica Brandt at 212.434.9573 if you would like to participate in this interactive exchange, and we will send you the toll free dial-in number and password. This invitation is transferable, but limited to state and local leaders and their staff; we invite you to forward this to any colleagues who might be interested in participating.
