"The Euro, 10 Years On"

A review of the achievements of one of the most important symbols of European identity
        

Embassy of France in the United States

 

 

Marking the 10th anniversary from the establishment of the Euro, please join a select group of finance professionals to discuss monetary policy within the European Union, global perspectives and what lies ahead. 

 

Taking into consideration the relative weakening of the Euro and GB pound early in the financial crisis and follow-up rebound, ECB’s and FED’s large rate cuts, the accession of more countries to the Euro; fears for inflation, commodity prices increases and concerns over reserve currencies, this will be a very interesting and timely discussion. 

The distinguished panel of industry experts and dignitaries will feature:

s         Boris Schlossberg, Director of Currency Research, GFTforex

s         Jeorg Stephan, Deutsche Bundesbank Representative in NY

s         Eva Jurinova, Adviser to the State Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Slovakia
