The Sinaia Debates – 2nd edition – were organised by Alexandrion Foundation on 26 and 27 October 2018, at the New Montana Hotel in Sinaia. The theme of this edition was “The Economy of the East. Post-Austerity and Prospects”.
At this edition we wanted to put another topic of public interest up for debate. To this end, we tried to bring to the same table national and international experts in economics, and representatives of the trade unions and of the Government. The aim of Alexandrion Foundation in organising these debates is to provide the space needed for ideas to be freely expressed and heard.

“It is hard to summarise in a few words what was presented and debated in Sinaia on 26-27 October 2018. The participants shared the conviction that the economy plays a crucial role in the evolution of present-day societies, but that it evolves in an environment dependent on economic and social policies, on culture and on history. Legal regulations and policies condition it,” concluded Prof. Dr. Andrei Marga, Vice-President of Alexandrion Foundation.
The format of the second edition was similar to that of the first and included three rounds of discussion: the historical characteristics and specific premises of the economy of the East; current developments in the economies of the East – rates of development and inequalities; and investment, entrepreneurial culture and prospects for development.
