In conversation: Leading economic progress

Europe has been hit by a series of economic headwinds: the Covid-19 outbreak, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the energy crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. At each and every occasion, progressives have put forward ambitious and responsible solutions, from Next Generation EU and SURE to REPowerEU and the global minimum corporate tax deal. Join our speakers as they chart the road ahead for economic progress in the EU.
