The Art of Economic Reforms
How to introduce far-reaching economic changes and avoid political turmoil. Lessons from Poland's radical reforms 25 years on
23-05-2014 / 23-05-2014


La Chambre de Commerce, le Luxembourg-Poland Business Club et l'Ambassade de Pologne au Luxembourg invitent le professeur Leszek Balcerowicz à tenir une conférence consacrée à "l'art de mener des réformes économiques" qui se tiendra le 23 mai 2014 à 18h30.

Politically, the introduction of economic reforms, is almost always very risky. So what is the best way to carry them out? The fast and the most painful method or a slower, longer and a more phased-out approach? How should politicians present ideas for far-reaching economic changes in order to gain the necessary acceptance and support of the voters? While introducing reforms, what should be done differently in stable economies of Luxembourg and Poland (or other countries in the EU), and in a very troubled economy such as Ukraine's? Prof Leszek Balcerowicz, the author of Poland's successful economic transformation, sometimes referred to as the architect of Polish "shok therapy", and Pierre Gramegna, Luxembourg's minister of finance, will try to answer these and other questions.
