Dear Sir or Madam, We have the pleasure of inviting you to the 80th East Jour Fixe of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) on the topic of "Bulgaria and Romania - 10 years after EU accession", which will take place at the OeNB in Vienna on March 31, 2017. The East Jour Fixe was initiated by the OeNB in 1991. It is a high-profile policy discussion forum on economic reforms and developments in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE). Participants come from diverse backgrounds and present academic, political and other professional expertise to a selected audience. The 80th East Jour Fixe will focus on developments in Bulgaria and Romania since EU accession. Session 1 will deal with macroeconomic developments since EU accession with a special focus on the financial sector and monetary policy. Session 2 will then shed light on the progress on judicial reform, corruption and organized crime in the framework of the cooperation and verification mechanism and on the implementation of EU structural and investment funds. Session 3 is devoted to some specific EU-related aspects that are of particular relevance for the catching-up process: FDI, trade and labor mobility. Please find the program attached to this e-mail. We kindly ask you to register for this event not later than March 24, 2017, by e-mail (event-management@oenb.at<mailto:event-management@oenb.at>).
