Dear Sir or Madam,
We have the pleasure of inviting you to the
Conference on European Economic Integration (CEEI) 2021, which the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) will host in cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB) on
November 22 and 23, 2021.
This year’s conference will focus on
“Recalibrating tomorrow's global value chains –
prospects for CESEE.”
Over the past three decades, the world economy was transformed by global value chains (GVCs), which proved an engine
of economic growth and development. Deep integration into GVCs also benefited Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) economies. In recent years, the pace of GVC integration seems to have lost some steam, however. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has
been yet another wake-up call highlighting the risks and benefits of increasing interconnectedness. Putting the spotlight on the CESEE region, the CEEI 2021 sets out to explore the following questions:
-
In times of crisis, does deep GVC integration amplify, or mitigate, swings in economic activity?
-
What should policymakers and businesses do to achieve and sustain a recovery and make GVCs more resilient?
-
What can we expect from structural shifts, such as the digital transformation of economies and the greening of production?
In pursuit of answers, the OeNB, in cooperation with the EIB, will bring together high-ranking representatives from central
banks, international organizations, industry and academia for two afternoons of insightful presentations and thought-provoking discussions.
