On Monday, 22 June 2026 at 17:00 at the House of the Euro (Brussels).
Strengthening the international role of the euro is a long-standing policy priority of the European Union. In view of recent geopolitical fragmentation, strategic competition and global economic relations that are being reshaped, there now is an opening to further enhance the international role of the euro.
Join us for this high-profile panel discussion exploring the benefits of a stronger international role of the euro against a backdrop of structural changes in the international monetary system and beyond.
