Event Summary
Marco Buti delivered remarks, followed by a discussion with audience Q&A, on the European Commission's strategy for mitigating both the severity of the recession in Europe and the marked differences in subsequent bounce back across EU member states. He addressed lessons learned during the financial crisis and argue that the more consensual the narrative, the lower the risks of moral hazard, as well as that Europe has to count on indigenous growth drivers to provide a better chance of adopting an ambitious EU policy response.
