Bruegel Annual Meetings 2023

Bruegel’s Annual Meetings stand as a pivotal event in Brussels, gathering influential speakers to engage in discussions on pressing economic matters and contributing to shaping post-summer policy discourse. Despite Europe’s resilience in 2022, marked by challenges such as: Russia’s war on Ukraine, energy price surges, and inflation spikes, fundamental issues persist. The region faces ongoing structural dilemmas encompassing geopolitical tensions, climate change urgency, eroding competitiveness, and unresolved EU governance concerns. As 2023-2024 unfolds, the focus is set to shift towards addressing the decade ahead rather than short-term survival, encompassing discussions about both current and upcoming European electoral cycles. The Bruegel Annual Meetings of this year aim to facilitate precisely this forward-looking conversation.
