Just two weeks after the publication of the Commission's forecasts, the Progressive Economy, an initiative of the S&D Group, will present its alternative forecasts and economic recommendations during a two-day conference on 4-5 December in Brussels.
S&D Group president Hannes Swoboda and progressive members of national parliaments and of the European Parliament will open the discussions with a critical debate on Europe’s economic future with Commissioner Olli Rehn on the afternoon of Wednesday 4 December.
The 2014 Independent Annual Growth Survey (iAGS) will provide analysis, forecasts and policy recommendations on macro-economic perspectives, rising inequalities in the labour market, wage developments and proposals for eurozone governance.
Each year, three respected economic institutes (OFCE, IMK and ECLM) will publish an Independent Annual Growth Survey (iAGS), with an independent set of analyses and recommendations to provide an alternative to the European Commission’s own Annual Growth Survey, which now defines the economic policy strategies of the EU and the member states. The first iAGS was published by the three institutes in November 2012. Find out more here.
