This report builds on two years of dialogue held as part of the World Economic Forum’s Future of Growth Initiative and the views of more than 11,000 business leaders globally. It summarises a set of 'no-regret' moves and dilemmas that shape growth strategies in the new economy, as well as key drivers, barriers and opportunities for accelerating growth by 2030.

The report highlights how a convergence of deep structural transformations – from the acceleration of artificial intelligence, heightened geostrategic competition and record levels of debt to demographic shifts and rebalancing of environmental and societal priorities – is shaping the contours of the new economy, creating both new risks and opportunities. While governments and businesses are increasingly asked to tackle short-term crises, a long-term perspective on growth will be essential to inform national strategies and navigate the trends, dilemmas and 'no-regret' moves outlined in this report.

Discussion is structured across four key areas of economic policy.

1. Technology, productivity and human capital.
2. Global cooperation and domestic capacity.
3. Business environment and the role of government.
4. Sustainability and economic policy.
