Could a fragmented global economy help EU economy unite? Global economic fragmentation, worsened by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and geopolitical tensions, has strained international trade and financial systems. Europe faces challenges in navigating this fragmentation, but its key asset is the Single Market. #EU #Economy #GeoPolitics #Competition

During my visit to the 33rd Economic Forum in Karpacz, Poland, I felt a bit like the French diplomat Alexis de Torqueville when he was discovering American democracy. High in the mountains huge Las Vegas-style hotel #Golebiewski hosted over 400 panels and close to 1000 speakers all pumped up and ready to debate pressing geopolitical and business issues facing Poland, the CEE and Europe as a whole. #Karpacz was a true festival of Polish business and economic strength. It was first time for the New Frontier Foundation NFF to attend a business forum of #WEF Davos size. Truly inspiring and impressive. Special thanks go to Hungarian Oeconomus Gazdaságkutató Alapítvány for putting together fantastic panel on European competitiveness and #ESG, where we concluded that European businesses will continue to suffer from over regulation.
