Two weeks ago, we gathered in The Hague for our third European Macro Policy Network (EMPN) conference, with over 120 participants joining to address some of Europe’s most urgent challenges. Hosted by the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands, the event explored Europe’s investment needs, the threats facing its industries – and the quality jobs tied to them – and how better European coordination of industrial and energy transition could foster a more resilient economy. This newsletter captures the key discussions.
