During the COVID-19 pandemic most countries put in place support programmes for households, businesses, financial institutions, subnational governments and financial markets, to decrease the economic risks caused by the crisis. But as European countries slowly come closer to getting the pandemic under control, how can they phase out the support measures without too much negative impact on productivity and financial stability?
This event was organised in the framework of MICROPROD, a research project that aims to improve our understanding of productivity, its drivers and the way we measure it.
