Finland: Minister Ville Skinnari participates in World Economic Forum panel on sustainable investments

NordenBladet — Minister for Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Ville Skinnari will participate in a panel discussion on sustainable investments, organised by the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Friday 29 January. The annual WEF “Davos Agenda” is organised virtually from 25 to 29 January.

Minister Skinnari will attend a panel discussion focusing on global investment flows and on how to mobilise investments to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The COVID-19 pandemic has decreased foreign direct investments (FDI) by more than 40 per cent, which has a severe impact on the future prospects of sustainable growth. The key question at the event is what changes are needed to restore global investments and to get them back on track.
