Europe in a changing international monetary system

Europe is navigating profound shifts in the global monetary system and financial flows, presenting both risks and opportunities for the future of the euro. This high-level discussion examines how Europe can strengthen its fiscal, economic, and monetary architecture to address these challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Bringing together central bank governors alongside leading voices from policy and research, this event explores Europe's fiscal capacity, resilience, and medium-term economic outlook, with particular attention to the evolving role of eurobonds and Europe's position in the global financial system.

Following the remarks, a moderated discussion takes place, during which speakers address questions from the audience.
