Europe stands at a critical juncture. Growth remains sluggish, reforms are lagging, and global uncertainties are reshaping economic prospects. This Governor’s Talk will feature Stephanie Lose, Denmark’s Minister of Economic Affairs and current president for the Council of the Economic and Financial Ministers in the EU, in conversation on Europe’s key challenges and opportunities. Discussion will focus on priorities for strengthening the single market, advancing the Capital Markets and Energy Unions, ensuring efficient use of the EU budget, strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy, and navigating global headwinds such as shifting trade dynamics and geopolitical tensions. The session will explore how Europe—and Denmark—can foster resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable prosperity.
