Round Table B-04/2

Economic and Financial Instability in the EU and Russia

Moderator – L. Vinhas de Souza (DG ECFIN, European Commission)

The crisis that started in the United States in the summer of 2007 was heightened by a series of developments in the summer of 2008. From a situation largely localized in the US, it became a truly global downturn, spreading to other mature markets like the EU and also to emerging ones that so far had been largely insulated from the crisis. Russia was one of those emerging markets affected. The consequences for all those affected were a combination of real and financial effects. The objective of this session is to discuss the causes, effects and policy options to deal with the ongoing economic and financial instability, in Russia and also in the EU. This is clearly an essential undertaking and a comparative discussion of this in both areas is justified by the fact that they faced largely common shocks and had similar policy reactions. Additionally, the EU and Russia are truly strategic economic partners.
