Because of the obvious consequences that are shaping the social and economic life of the entire community, The European House – Ambrosetti has decided to continue its in-depth analysis devoted to the Coronavirus emergency.

The spread of Coronavirus infections has jeopardized citizens’ health, distressed national healthcare systems, and caused severe economic impacts. In this context, unprecedented in recent global history, institutions at all levels have been called to react promptly, rigorously, and with extraordinary measures and procedures. There is renewed discussion about borders, states’ and financial institutions’ interventions in the economy, and the acceleration of digitalization. What is the response of Europe and the European Commission? What are the next steps? What lessons can Europe and Member States learn?

Paolo Gentiloni, European Commissioner for Economy, has extensive experience serving institutions. He will offer us a unique and authoritative interpretation of the most critical issues of our time.
