About the conference

This year, Latvijas Banka’s economic conference will focus on the key economic challenges the euro area is facing in the new geo-economic environment.

Given the high degree of integration across European economies, these challenges have significant implications for the outlook of smaller Member States, including Latvia.

Particular emphasis will be placed on the policy actions needed to address these issues and their potential translation into tangible improvements in the daily lives of European citizens and businesses.
