Why Poland's Economy is Terrifying Germany | Countries Reshaping the EU | Freedom Games 2024

In this substantive panel discussion from the Freedom Games conference, Adam Bartha (Director of International Outreach & EPICENTER at the IEA) leads an expert examination of Central and Eastern Europe's growing role in reshaping the EU. The distinguished panel features Marcin Święcicki (President, European Movement Forum), Christian Năsulea (Executive Director, IES-Europe), Latchezar Bogdanov (Chief Economist, Institute for Market Economics, Sofia), and Zofia Kościk (Junior Economic Analyst, Civic Development Forum). The panelists analyse key topics including Poland's remarkable economic growth trajectory, Romania's innovative healthcare and tax systems, and Bulgaria's successful flat tax policy. They discuss how Central and Eastern European countries can leverage their competitive advantages, from digital infrastructure to agricultural potential, while addressing challenges in areas like venture capital funding and higher education reform. Their collective expertise provides valuable insights into the region's economic transformation. The conversation tackles crucial questions about EU decision-making, particularly regarding foreign policy and economic harmonisation. The experts offer fresh perspectives on reducing bureaucratic barriers, reforming the Common Agricultural Policy, and managing relations with Russia. Special attention is given to Ukraine's potential EU membership and its implications for regional agriculture and economic development, with each panelist bringing their unique national and professional perspective to these critical issues.
