Round Table Conference on Macroeconomics, Business Environment and Finance

Mr. Ivaylo Kalfin, former Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and graduate of the UNWE who advises key committees in the European Parliament, expressed his hope that the crisis would be relatively short and the countries would recover quickly. He predicted an increase in the indebtedness of the countries as the deepening of the crisis might raise serious questions to the sources of financing. According to him, the crisis will inevitably lead to an increase of disparities in the Eurozone countries. The support provided in the context of the European Solidarity will include investment in the Green Deal, and we must be prepared for that. The main recommendation is to develop a plan for economic measures, to ensure the coherence and funding and not to improvise.
