The Economic Ideas Forum (EIF), one of the biggest economic events in Slovakia this year took place on October 16-17, and was held with great success. The Forum, organized by the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, was opened by Slovakian President Andrej Kiska. It was hosted by former Prime Minister of Slovakia Mikuláš Dzurinda. ‘It is fitting for Bratislava to host this important European economic forum because Slovakia can play a positive role in finding answers to Europe’s economic challenges’, President Kiska said.
Today the EIF focused on the growing economies in Central and Eastern Europe, closing the gaps of the digital single market and the transatlantic trade agreement.
‘The main reason for the economic growth of Slovakia has been decreasing economic regulation’, said Ivan Mikloš, Member of the Slovak Parliament and former Minister of Finance. ‘East–East Economic Cooperation is very important! Eastern European countries should share their experiences in reform implementation’, – George Logush, President of Kyiv School of Economics.
