Accelerating transformation

The European Investment Bank along with the OECD, Columbia University and the European Money and Finance Forum (SUERF), is delighted to announce its 2022 Annual Economics Conference on 12 and 13 January 2022. The event will be held in hybrid format in Luxembourg. As our economies emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, the policy focus is shifting to questions of long-term transformation: how can we accelerate digitalisation and the climate transition? At the same time, the context is challenging. Supply chain disruptions and rising energy prices are a concern. Policy has been effective in supporting economic recovery throughout the EU, but some countries have been hit even harder than others by the pandemic, and not all are recovering at the same pace. Progress on digitalisation and the energy transition has also been far from uniform. This year’s conference is about how we can speed-up the digital and climate transitions, whilst recognising and mitigating these asymmetries. It will bring together the perspectives of policymakers, academics, leaders in business and finance, as well as Chief Economists from different private and public sector institutions.
