Background
Cross-border trade and investment levels and regional integration in South East Europe remain below potential, reflecting persistent problems with the business environment, market fragmentation, and low-quality infrastructure. In a period of elevated geopolitical uncertainties, the need to catalyse the growth potential in the region is evident. A distinguished panel of policy makers and experts will consider the potential benefits of deeper regional integration in energy, digitalization, and transportation in the context of European integration, targeted support from international financial institutions and increasing private sector involvement.
