Clemens Fuest outlines an economic agenda for Europe that combines economic competitiveness with sustainability and security. Economic development in Europe is sluggish. On the one hand, this is due to longer-term challenges such as an aging society, digitalization and global warming. On the other hand, current crises are a burden, especially the Russian attack on Ukraine and the consequences for energy supplies, defense and foreign trade. In order to master these challenges, Europe needs a well-thought-out economic policy agenda that combines economic competitiveness with sustainability and security. --- About the person Prof. Dr. Dr. hc Clemens Fuest President of the ifo Institute - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich eV Clemens Fuest, born in 1968, is President of the ifo Institute - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich eV.
