We will reflect on the strategic, political, and economic implications of these challenges and explore possible responses that Europe must consider.

The President Von der Leyen’s political guidelines for 2024-2027 announced the first-ever European Anti-poverty strategy to help people to get access to the essential protections and services they need, along with addressing the root causes of poverty. 

The Strategy is expected to be presented in 2026. To prepare it, the European Commission (DG EMPL) and Bocconi University are organizing a joint event to gather expert contributions, focusing on topics such as minimum income, breaking the intergenerational transmission of poverty, and financing anti-poverty measures

This event will explore the evolution of the GFSN, its four main pillars—the IMF, Regional Financing Arrangements, bilateral swap lines, and foreign exchange reserves—and take a closer look at the role of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). We will also reflect on the challenges Europe is likely to face in the coming years, from geoeconomic fragmentation to climate change, digitalization, and demographic shifts, and discuss how the GFSN can be strengthened to meet the demands of future crises.

The starting point for the discussion is the European Capital Markets Code (ECMC) project, by a group of researchers from 15 European universities under the coordination of prof. Ruediger Veil.
