About the Speech:

Since 2008, the European economy has experienced a period of recession and anaemic recovery not seen since the first half of the 20th century. This follows an extended period during which many of the continent’s most developed economies experienced decelerating rates of expansion. In his presentation, Dan O’Brien, discussed these trends and the European-level policy options, which could halt or reverse them.
