President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, travels to Luxembourg

On 4 March the President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis will travel to Luxembourg. He will give a keynote speech on the topic of “Digital finance – catalyst for European transformation” at the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group Forum.

During his visit he will meet with the President of the EIB, Nadia Calviño, and the Managing Director of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), Pierre Gramegna.

I am delighted to have this opportunity to address the EIB Forum. This is an excellent occasion to discuss the important subject of digital finance. Digital finance goes hand in hand with and complements the Savings and Investments Union.
