Stephen Burke discussed the challenges faced by middle-income countries in transitioning to high-income status. Only 34 out of 108 such countries have broken the "middle-income trap" in the past 34 years. He noted that these countries, which constitute 40% of global GDP and 60% of the world's population, face issues like productivity gaps, corruption. We emphasized the need for consistent government policies and innovation to drive economic growth. See video, podcast.
