The meeting provided a unique informal environment for open discussion, focusing on the theme “A Road to Economic Recovery: A Macroeconomic Perspective,” which addressed emerging economic concerns affecting Commonwealth countries.

Both sessions concentrated on topics crucial to the 56 member countries’ economic and sustainable development, including the Commonwealth member States’ recovery trajectory and issues with debt and increasing inflation.
