The Sinaia Debates \u2013 2nd edition \u2013 were organised by the Alexandrion Foundation on 26 and 27 October at the New Montana Hotel in Sinaia. The theme of this edition was: “The Economy of the East. Post-Austerity and Its Prospects”.<\/p>\n
“<\/em>I<\/em>n this edition we wanted to put another topic of public interest up for debate. To that end we tried to bring to the same table national and international experts in the economic field, and representatives of the trade unions and of the Government. The aim of the Alexandrion Foundation in organising these debates is to provide the space necessary for ideas to be expressed freely and to be heard.”, said Mr Stelios Savva, First Vice-Pre<\/em>s<\/em>ident of the Alexandrion Foundation, at the event. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>“<\/em>It is hard to sum up in a few words what was presented and debated in Sinaia on 26-27 October 2018. The participants shared the conviction that the economy has a crucial role in the evolution of present-day societies, but evolves within an environment dependent on economic and social policies, on culture and on history. Legal regulations and policies condition it.<\/em>“,<\/em> concluded Prof. Dr<\/em>. Andrei Marga, Vice-Pre<\/em>s<\/em>ident of the Alexandrion Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>The format of the second edition of The Sinaia Debates was similar to that of the first edition and included three rounds of discussions.
