This Policy Briefing on the EU’s economic governance with Commissioner for Economy Paolo Gentiloni kicked off ‘The Maastricht Dialogues’, a new EPC event series on European economic policy.
In this anniversary year of the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact, the EU is experiencing a watershed moment. The Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have posed unprecedented challenges to the Union’s economic stability and prompted bold steps in economic policy like the Recovery and Resilience Facility and RePowerEU. As highlighted by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her 2022 State of the Union speech, it is time that the EU rediscovers the “Maastricht spirit”, where stability and growth go hand in hand.
‘The Maastricht Dialogues’ series aims to discuss the most pressing economic challenges and possible solutions in European fiscal, monetary, and financial policy, considering the EU and the member states’ perspectives. The launch event with Commissioner Gentiloni focused on the current prospects and threats for the European economy in the context of a looming recession and the need to fight inflation. We also discussed the Commission’s orientations on the Economic Governance Review.

The EPC’s Europe’s Political Economy Programme (EPE) focuses on EU economic governance, the single market, and digital, industrial, energy, trade, and economic security policies amid significant geo-economic and technological shifts. In a world of rising geopolitical competition and a fragmenting economy, the EPE has been at the forefront of research on Europe’s competitiveness agenda, the "triple" green, digital and economic security transitions and "wartime economy". The EPE's cross-programme flagship initiative, the Brussels Economic Security Forum, examines EU-US-China dynamics, changing international economic rules and statecraft, as well as related EU policy challenges. As fast-advancing components of economic security, critical emerging technologies in clean tech, semiconductor and AI value chains and quantum are priority areas of focus. Using its convening power and multistakeholder taskforce model, the Programme aims to provide in-depth analysis and actionable recommendations to tackle key policy challenges. The EPE team comprises a diverse group of analysts with backgrounds from government, the private sector, academia, and journalism, bringing a broad range of expertise to its work.
