British economist and journalist Stephanie Flanders has been appointed as the new Patron of the Institute of Economic Development (IED).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie, who is Head of Economics and Government at Bloomberg \u2013 overseeing the research and journalism of 250 economists and reporters worldwide \u2013 assumes the unpaid role from outgoing IED Patron, the Baroness Blake of Leeds CBE, who was in post for two years.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stephanie Flanders<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In a distinguished career, Stephanie was previously Chief Market Strategist for Europe at J P Morgan Asset Management in London (2013-17) and BBC Economics Editor (2008-13), appearing across the wide range of BBC news output in that capacity after previously serving as Economics Editor of its Newsnight programme. She has also been Senior Advisor and speechwriter to US Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers (1997-2001), a reporter at the New York Times, the principal editor of the 2002 Human Development Report, an editorial-writer and economics columnist at the Financial Times, and an economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and London Business School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016-17 Stephanie chaired the Inclusive Growth Commission for the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), where she engaged with city leaders and grassroots practitioners from around the country on how best to promote inclusive, place-based economic growth. She is also the Chair of the non-profit arts company Artichoke, a Trustee of the Kennedy Memorial Trust and a Governor at the Ditchley Foundation. She is an Honorary Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford and a Fellow of the Society of Professional Economists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cThere is no more important challenge \u2013 nationally and globally \u2013 than making the economy work better for people,\u201d Stephanie explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn one way or another, I have spent a good chunk of my career thinking about and reporting on this question, and I\u2019m acutely aware that high-level debates about growth and development often lack a basic grassroots understanding of how to make these things happen in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d love to play a small part in bringing the two together through closer involvement in the intensely practical mission and core activities of the IED.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IED Chair Tom Stannard commented: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to welcome Stephanie as our new Patron. She has significant recognition as an economist, broadcaster, and as someone who has contributed to economic development commissions, including the RSA Inclusive Growth Commission, LSE Growth Commission, and Greater Manchester Independent Prosperity Review, in the recent past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thank Stephanie for agreeing to take on the role of Patron, which is filled by someone who, due to his\/her public achievement, exemplification of outstanding leadership and stature in society, can help the IED achieve its mission by enhancing the Institute\u2019s credibility and the substantial contribution to UK economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would also like to thank Baroness Blake, who is now a member of the new government\u2019s front bench, for serving as our immediate past Patron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
