Start: April 19, 5:00 pm
Venue: Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna

The current financial crisis is presenting Europe with the greatest challenge of the past decades. How effectively have the EU and its individual members managed the crisis up to now? Which measures have been implemented, which opportunities have been missed, and what should be done next?
A number of eminent international experts from the fields of finance, business, research, politics and the media will address these questions.
Discussion will focus on the relationships between state and market, as well as between capital markets and the real economy. In addition, the interconnection between the public assessment of the crisis on the one hand, and the crisis itself on the other, will be a focus of the conference.

Registration Fee: EUR 80
