Georgieva to attend EU Commission seminar on competitiveness

Brussels – The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, will be a special guest at the European Commission’s seminar on competitiveness. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, invited the head of the IMF to attend the College of Commissioners’ meeting scheduled for 4 February, which will be entirely devoted to the agenda for European economic recovery.

The special seminar on 4 February aims to provide an opportunity for an “in-depth strategic debate” on strengthening the European Union’s competitive position in a rapidly changing global context, according to Brussels, and is part of the broader EU agenda that includes the Informal EU leaders’ retreat scheduled for 12 February, dedicated to strengthening the single market, and where Mario Draghi and Enrico Letta were also invited.

Discussions between members of the College of Commissioners “will contribute to preparations” for the informal summit on 12 February, the EU executive said. Georgieva’s participation, herself a former European commissioner for International Cooperation (2010–2014) and for the Budget (2014–2016), thus fits into the broader European effort to shape a new economic phase.
