Speaker: EPG – Radu Dudau

The Economist Romania Business & Investment Roundtable will deliver fresh, robust and action-oriented insights through an in-depth conversation with key international policymakers at this year’s hybrid gathering in Bucharest.

While humanity is still fighting a difficult battle against covid-19, the recent Russian invasion in Ukraine has re-shaped the geopolitical landscape with significant implications for the global social and political environment. The threats for global peace and stability are at the forefront and governments, institutions, business and the civil society need to address this challenge to minimise the potentially devastating implications.

On the economic front, the Recovery and Resilience Facility of Euro 672.5 billion will help EU member states address the economic and social impact of the pandemic and the geopolitical turmoil whilst ensuring that their economies undertake the green and digital transitions to become more sustainable and resilient.

Romania, with its unique geostrategic position at the crossroads of Europe, has a vital role and can contribute significantly to Europe’s solidarity.

● How is the current geopolitical upheaval in the region shaping the economic landscape?

● Acceleration of digitalization: closing the digital divide
