Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis and Commissioner Pierre Moscovici will take part in this year's edition of the Brussels Economic Forum, the flagship annual economic event of the European Commission, which takes place today (18 June).

The Forum will discuss key challenges for the European economy, such as the role of the EU in the new global order, how to build more inclusive societies in which the benefits of digitalization and globalization reach everyone and how to reconcile economic growth with social cohesion and sustainability.

This year the Tommaso Padoa Schioppa lecture will be delivered by Sir Christopher Pissarides, Nobel Laureate and Professor of Economics and Political Science at the London School of Economics. Other speakers include: Nadia Calviño, Minister of Economy and Business of Spain; Gita Gopinath, Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund; Stefanie Stantcheva, Professor of Economics at Harvard University.

The conference will be live-streamed on Europe by Satellite (EbS). The programme and registration details are available here.

On the margins of the event, Vice-President Dombrovskis will address the press from 15h to 15h30, on the role of the financial sector in the transition to a climate-neutral economy. Vice-President Dombrovskis will take stock of three new reports of the Technical Expert Group on sustainable finance and will welcome the Commission's own new guidelines on corporate, climate-related information reporting.
