Bruegel’s 20th anniversary event

EU sustainable growth: what is the right mix of structural, monetary and fiscal instruments?

At this event, the panellists will examine the EU’s growth and competitiveness agenda one year after the publication of the Draghi report. How is the process of the deepening of the single market going, and to which extent does it reflect Draghi’s recommendations? Sustainability is a key lens through which to measure growth. The panellists will look at the constraints and trade-offs of reconciling climate goals with growth. Finally, they will consider whether a growth/competitiveness policy agenda needs to be modified to address the challenges posed by security and political issues.
