SUMMARY:Quarterly EU Economic Update: Forged in Crisis – How the War in Ukraine May Strengthen the European Union & the Transatlantic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:EACC New-York – \nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a humanitarian crisis and a major macro-economic shock that fundamentally changes the global economic outlook. The EU is directly exposed to spillovers from the conflict\, but the impact will be more pronounced for countries on its eastern border. Surging commodity prices\, disrupted supply chains\, and unprecedented trade and financial sanctions will all weigh on growth and push inflation higher in the near-term. \nWith that said\, key economic indicators show that the European economic expansion overall should remain strong enough to weather these war-related disruptions and continue its recovery. The outlook is clouded by significant uncertainties regarding the outcome of the war in Ukraine\, the impacts of economic sanctions on Russia\, and possible responses from Russia and other major geopolitical actors. It is clear that the war presents many challenges for the EU\, especially over the medium-term\, and it drives home the need to accelerate the energy transition. Securing clean\, reliable sources of energy are now not simply an environmental priority\, but a matter of geopolitical security for Europe. \nIt is often said that Europe will be forged in crises but with challenges come opportunity. The continent is responding with solidarity\, strengthening and deepening the European Union while providing aid to Ukraine. Forceful policy actions are reinforcing a broad-based economic recovery by supporting business and household incomes\, encouraging investment\, and promoting the green and digital transitions. \nJoin us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing the European economy. Our panel will begin with an update on the European Commission’s newly released Spring 2022 Economic Forecast\, the first to factor in the war in Ukraine and associated sanctions on Russia. \nRegister here \nWe will then discuss the major challenges and opportunities facing Europe\, covering a variety of possible scenarios and key questions facing policy makers:\n● What is the inflation outlook and how should policy makers respond?\n● How should the EU adjust its fiscal stance to deal with the impact of the war?\n● What policy tools are available to ease the uneven impact of the war and refugee inflow on different EU member states?\n● How are businesses likely to adapt their supply chains?\n● What are the main EU policy developments in the energy sector?\n● What does the war mean for the broader global economic and financial architecture that has been in place since World War Two? \n  \nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator] \nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT | 19:00h – 20:00h CET \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCNY Members: Free\nEACCNY non-Members: Free

SUMMARY:Quarterly EU Economic Update: Springtime in Europe - What the EU's Green Transition Means for US Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Though Omicron weighed on the European economy at the end of last year\, growth is already regaining traction. Supply chain bottlenecks and high energy prices are expected to recede over the course of the year\, though inflationary pressures are proving to be a bit more persistent than previously thought. Nonetheless\, the EU recovery should now be entering a prolonged and robust expansion. A continuously improving labor market\, a large stock of accumulated savings\, and especially the full deployment of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) should power strong domestic demand. \nThe investment outlook is as strong as it has ever been. Not only are businesses poised to invest more in critical equipment to boost productive capacity and resolve supply chain issues\, the RRF is set to launch a wave of spending on new green and digital technologies. \nMost member states have already received their first round of RRF pre-financing\, and over €46 billion in grants and nearly €20 billion in loans have been distributed so far. Now\, disbursements for countries that have already fulfilled specific targets and milestones in their Recovery and Resilience Plans are being rolled out. Spain received a €10 billion grant at the end of last year\, and many more member states should receive additional disbursements soon. \nPlease join our discussion of the EU Spring economic outlook and to learn about the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plans and how you can get involved. \n\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES \nBen Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES \nYvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]

SUMMARY:Quarterly EU Economic Update: EU Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast
DESCRIPTION:The European American Chamber of Commerce – New York is hosting a webinar to discuss the European economic forecast for upcoming months.\nGet the latest on the European economy with an in-depth look at the European Commission’s newly released autumn 2021 Economic Forecast. This comprehensive forecast takes into account all the recent economic data and public policy developments through mid-October and weighs the prospects for European and global growth against a range of potential risks. \n  \nSPEAKERS:\n• Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator] \n  \nThere is a lot of momentum behind the recovery and we should see some solid growth numbers for the EU economies over the remainder of the year and into 2022. High vaccination rates and cautious public health policies are now paying growth dividends across the EU. With that said\, the pace of the recovery is moderating as supply shortages and logistical bottlenecks weigh on output. Inventories are very low and many manufacturers simply can’t get the supplies they need. On the labor market side\, it has been challenging to fill open positions due to skills mismatches. \nIn other words\, short-term demand policy seems to have worked well both in Europe and the US. Savings rates are high and investment is growing. But Covid-related supply constraints are holding back growth and look set to last longer than expected. Policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic now need to focus on the medium- to long-term. In this vein\, the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility [RRF] will finance a lot of new investment in green and digital technologies that will boost growth and productivity further while ‘future-proofing’ the economic structure by linking RRF funds to structural reform. RRF roll-out has already started and policy makers as well as the private sector are optimistic\, especially about the speed of the green and digital transitions. \nThe EU Commission still expects supply shortages to be temporary\, but in the meantime\, they are feeding into higher headline inflation\, and there is uncertainty over how to effectively address these bottlenecks in the short term. Rising energy prices are also causing a headache for policy makers in Europe\, where many countries depend on imported gas. This raises important strategic questions\, including whether green investments will smooth out or aggravate tensions in the energy market. \n  \nTIME:\nNoon – 1:00pm CST / 1:00pm-2:00pm EST \n  \nRegister Here\n  \nThis event is hosted by:

SUMMARY:Responsible Capitalism – The ESG Integration Balancing Act
DESCRIPTION:The European American Chamber of Commerce – New York is hosting a webinar about how companies are balancing the bottom-line with environmentally and socially responsible governance.\nKey discussion topics to include: \n  \nIntegration of ESG into business strategy and compliance programs \n• ESG is not “new” particularly in the business and legal spheres. But how companies address ESG is becoming less prescriptive and requires more tailoring of the risks and opportunities respective of their business strategy and embedded into their culture of compliance in order to ensure a sustainable approach. \nUnderstanding and applying ESG standards and regulations \n• The universe of ESG standards is wide and often confusing while country-specific regulations are rolling out at a quick clip. We discuss approaches for understanding which ESG standards may be most relevant to your business and current and emerging regulations to address now. We will also discuss ratings and how to align with standards reporting. \nDeveloping ESG metrics and goals for now and for a sustainable future \n• Prevailing market sentiment has been and still continues to focus on using metrics for measuring ESG performance\, primarily for climate and carbon goals. However\, without properly tying metrics back to strategic initiatives and understanding the explicit financial impact\, the measures can prove to be meaningless for sustainability and building a more resilient organization. We will further explore operational opportunities for implementing ESG initiatives in procurement\, supply chain\, and as part of asset management. \nESG Pitfalls: Understanding disclosure\, green-washing\, and dispute risks \n• What regulations require non-financial and financial disclosures and where? \n• What is green-washing and how can companies mitigate the risk? \n• How to know about risks and avoid litigation pertaining to ESG disclosures and operations \n  \nSPEAKERS:\n• Anna Athanasopoulou\, Head of Unit Proximity\, Social Economy\, Creative Industries\, DG Internal Market\, Industry\, Entrepreneurship and SMEs\, EUROPEAN COMMISSION\n• Brooke Hopkins\, Managing Director\, ALIXPARTNERS LLP (Moderator)\n• Maureen Kline\, VP Public Affairs & Sustainability\, PIRELLI TIRE NORTH AMERICA\n• Fabio Massimo Natalucci\, Deputy Director\, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND\n• Annette Michelle (Shelli) Willis\, Partner\, TROUTMAN PEPPER\, LLP \n  \nTIME:\n9:00am – 10:00am CST / 10:00am-11:00am EST \n  \nRegister Here\n  \nThis event is hosted by:
