Former Deputy Director, National Economic Council; Member, Congressional Oversight Commission
Bharat Ramamurti has been one of the country’s top economic policymakers and communicators. As Deputy Director of the White House National Economic Council and Advisor to the President for Strategic Economic Communications, Mr. Ramamurti helped lead the Biden Administration’s work on a broad range of topics, including the economic response to the pandemic, financial markets, student debt, artificial intelligence and technology regulation, and antitrust. His presentations describe the future of policymaking in these key areas.
The past few years have several sharp shifts in the economy — with a historically fast recovery from a recession accompanied by sharply rising inflation and interest rates. In this presentation, Bharat covers these past three phases of the U.S. economy since World War II and why he believes we are entering a new fourth phase with serious implications for many sectors of the economy.
The US is in the midst of a sea change in competition policy, with renewed emphasis on robust enforcement of antitrust laws and regulatory changes to promote competition. In this talk, Bharat will address how industry players can operate in this new environment.
The development of artifical intelligence has the potential to turbocharge US economic growth and transform several sectors of the economy. This talk will address the promise and risks of AI, and how the government is likely to address it in the years to come.
The past 20 years have seen a stunning increase in the amount of student debt, with nearly 2 trillion dollars in debt held by 45 million Americans. Bharat speaks on how we’ve reached this point, what the Biden Administration has done to help address the problem, and where we go from here.
Bharat Ramamurti served as Deputy Director of the National Economic Council and Advisor for Strategic Economic Communications in the Biden-Harris Administration from 2021 through 2023. In that role, he helped shape the Administration’s economic message, worked with Congress to secure the enactment of several landmark pieces of economic legislation, and helped lead the Administration’s efforts on student debt, competition policy, broadband, artificial intelligence, social media platforms, financial regulation, and more. He regularly appeared on television and at the White House press briefing to discuss the Administration’s economic policies. Before joining the Administration, he was appointed as a Member of the Congressional Oversight Commission for the CARES Act by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, where he helped oversee half a trillion dollars in government spending. He previously served as the top banking and economic policy advisor for Senator Elizabeth Warren, including during her presidential campaign. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School.
