The 2022 edition of EIB’s annual high-level conference will be organized in cooperation with Columbia University, the OECD, and SUERF (The European Monetary and Finance Forum).
As the economies emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, the policy focus is shifting to questions of long-term transformation: how can the world accelerate digitalization and the climate transition?
At the same time, the context is challenging. Supply chain disruptions and rising energy prices are a concern. The policy has been effective in supporting economic recovery throughout the European Union, but some countries have been hit even harder than others by the pandemic, and not all are recovering at the same pace. Progress on digitalization 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 transition, whilst recognizing and mitigating these asymmetries. It will bring together the perspectives of policymakers, academia, business, and finance, as well as Chief Economists from different private and public sector institutions.
