Europe has become the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. Please join the Atlantic Council for a virtual panel discussion on the coronavirus’ economic impact in Europe and the macroeconomic measures taken to address the crisis. Our experts will assess the severity of this economic shock across Europe and outline the steps taken by member states and the European Union to mitigate the crisis. In addition, the conversation will focus on what tools the European Central Bank and the European Stability Mechanism have at their disposal to support euro area economies. What lessons can European policymakers learn from the 2008 financial crisis to more effectively address the economic shock from the coronavirus? What role should G7 and other international fora play to coordinate the international policy response to the crisis?

Please join Dr. Alexis Crow, who is the lead of PwC’s geopolitical investment practice, and Andrea Montanino, who serves as the chief economist of Italy’s third largest banking group Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, as they unpack these questions and discuss the latest developments in Europe.Atlantic Council senior fellow Bart Oosterveldwill moderate the discussion.
