THE MOST RENOWNED FOREIGN AND LOCAL ECONOMISTS AND CORPORATE LEADERS IN ONE PLACE!
In the current stage of the global economic crisis the challenges faced by the developed world and Hungary are similar. One of the main issues that intrigue economists these days is whether the deleveraging process necessary for sustainable growth and economic activity can exist simultaneously. In an era of creditless growth and fiscal adjustments it would be important that economic growth dissipates the distress caused by the credit crisis. But there are debates as to what mixture of economic policy measures should be applied. There is no consensus on the optimal degree of fiscal adjustment or what role monetary policy should play. There is neither a wide-scale agreement as to what competitiveness-enhancing measures should be implemented to maintain economic growth. Within this subject it also seems to be an important question how the state should approach the financial sector: whether it should treat it as a taxable economic player or as a financial intermediary that is indispensable for economic upturn. In the meantime, the patience of the funding countries and institutions will be put to the test for a long time. Hence the question arises: what environment should we expect on the money and capital markets in this peculiar period?
Besides the market environment there are, of course, a lot of other factors that determine what turn Hungary’s “détente" with the IMF/EU, which has been dragging out for almost a year now, will take.
In this respect we are seeking answers not only to why Hungary would need a financial backdrop, but also what package of economic policy measures would be necessary to kick-start growth and investments and also how a sustainably declining debt path could be ensured.
Our goal is to create a forum where decision makers, academics, economic experts, market players and corporate leaders can discuss these issues together, evaluate the situation and have a debate on what short-term and long-term solutions they find best.
