These students have a strong background. Every topic was discussed deeply and there was a comparison interaction between many countries where we learnt a lot of difference in various countries. The panel discussion resulted in broadening the intellectual horizon in terms of understanding different economy, different views and perception on same topics, different suggestion on future aspects of different economy. 

This session was a great learning experience for all the students present in the session. It was more of an interaction session.

This session gave students and speakers a lot of knowledge on the economy of different countries in relationship with their country.
