Drop-In: Could a ‘Mar-a-Lago Accord’ fix the global trading system?

There’s no shortage of proposals for fixing global trade imbalances – not least a ‘Mar-a-Lago Accord’ suggested by the new head of Donald Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. But what exactly needs fixing and to what extent would it be resolved by current proposals?

Join our senior economists on Thursday, 27th March at 1100 ET/1500 GMT for this special briefing all about the state of global imbalances, the ideas to fix them and the likelihood of any progress anytime soon. 

During this 20-minute session, the team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:

  • Why Trump wants to end US trade deficits and what to make of Stephen Miran’s diagnosis and prescription;
  • What else would be needed to fix global trade imbalances;
  • Could steps to resolve imbalances upend the dollar’s reserve status and the Treasury market?
