<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Greece has come through a major debt crisis, with austerity imposed by its ‘bailout’ programmes. It now has to manage the COVID-19 impact. So, what now? How can it chart a way forward to a stronger
economic future. The committee chaired by Professor Sir Christopher Pissarides was tasked by the PM with developing a plan for sustainable economic growth in Greece. Here, Professor Pissarides will outline the main elements of the plan and Louka Katseli and
Michael Haliassos will give their comments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Crises and wars have historically been drivers of political and economic change. Such moments create opportunities to reflect on the nature of the economic and political institutions in place and their capacities. This event will look at some emerging lessons
of the COVID-19 crisis and directions of change and renewal. While the pandemic has unique features, many things that we have witnessed during the crisis reaffirm the importance of long-standing challenges that must be faced when building effective economies
