One of the key sessions of the meeting, which took place just before Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, was on the theme 'An Agenda for Growth and Livelihoods'. Ministers explored different ways and means of promoting inclusive growth, which generates livelihoods and reduces poverty.
They discussed the need to give countries the opportunity to develop their own policies for economic progress rather than having prescriptive solutions imposed upon them.
