Special mention was made of Eurogroup president Kyriacos Pierrakakis by Enrico Letta, speaking very positively about his taking office.

I am very happy to be here with Kyriakos, because I feel that I am next to someone who is making European history. By trying to call a spade a spade, he manages to make a difference,” he said at an event co-organised by ELIAMEP, IOBE and IE Competitiveness Hub, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Single European Act.

At the event, Minister of National Economy and Finance and President of the Eurogroup Kyriakos Pierrakakis had a discussion with former Prime Minister of Italy and Dean of the School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs of IE University in Madrid, Enrico Letta, on the future of competitiveness in the EU.
