The European Forum Alpbach is a trusted platform for discussing important issues of the future with our stakeholders. This year we will focus on the topic "Free trade – but safe!?" and whether free trade can enjoy sustainable success.
OeKB at the European Forum Alpbach 2019
Once again, the OeKB Group is a partner of the European Forum Alpbach. As part of a breakout session on the issue of "Free trade – but safe!?" OeKB discusses questions such as: Can free trade succeed in the long term? What are the positive and negative effects of free trade and what is going wrong in the international trading system? What is needed for fair, "inclusive" free trade? What are the economic risks of current trade conflicts?
