The Future of the European Economy

At a CEPR meeting on 24 September 1993, held to mark both the tenth anniversary of CEPR's establishment and its launch as the second 'Resource Centre' funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council, Sir Leon Brittan set out the main problems facing the European economy and the principal causes of Europe's current economic malaise. This is a report of Sir Leon's speech, in which he lists three main tasks for European policy-makers: the preservation and extension of the open world economy, the reconstruction of Europe's industry, and the creation of a stable long-run macroeconomic policy framework.
