Bruegel, in partnership with The Financial Times, held a fact-based and economics-focused debate where European political parties were given the opportunity to present their vision for the future of the EU’s economy to an audience of policymakers, civil society and business stakeholders, academics and the media.

In the run up to the EU elections, it is more important than ever to provide clear, informative and concise ideas for the future of Europe. This debate will feature a wide range of political parties that will focus on a small number of critical economic issues, including EU competitiveness and growth, the green transition, cohesion, economic security, and the possible trade-offs between those objectives.
