SNS, Jakobsbergsgatan 18, Stockholm
Seminar by George Papaconstantinou, the author of the book “Game Over – The Inside Story of the Greek Crisis”
Six years after the Greek crisis erupted, Greece is in its third bailout and still in severe social and economic decline. Former Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou tells the story of this unprecedented period, and prompts a broad discussion on the decisions taken during the crisis and on the direction Europe is headed in today. Were other solutions available? Would Greece and Europe have been better off if the country had left the Euro? Did European and global institutions respond appropriately?
Have they since reformed adequately and are there now safeguards in place to ensure it cannot happen again? These questions and the themes are extremely relevant today as Europe grapples with its continuing economic problems and the rise of populism.
The Finance Panel is a meeting forum for the financial sector, hosted by SNS and the Swedish House of Finance.
