Dear Madam or Sir,
we are pleased to invite you to the following event:
Forum Finanz
Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2024-25
“Navigating industrial policy”
The Transition Report 2024-25 focuses on industrial policies in the EBRD regions and
beyond. Such policies have seen a resurgence, seeking to address market failures such as environmental degradation.
However, their track record is mixed. Their growing popularity is shaped primarily by domestic political economy considerations and rising geopolitical tensions. While industrial policies are typically employed by higher-income economies, they are also now
used more frequently in economies with less administrative and fiscal capacity to implement them.
After opening remarks by Director General Harald Waiglein, EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik will present key findings from the Transition Report 2024-25. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion supported both by academia (TU Delft) and industry
(TTTech, Alstom Transport Austria) practitioners.
The detailed programme and the biographies of the discussants can be found on the event website, which you can access by clicking on the registration button below.
The event will be held in English.
We ask for registration until February 21 under the following link:

We look forward to your participation!
Kind regards,
Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance
