Dr Michal Horvath, Lecturer in Economics at York and Symposium organiser, said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to welcome budgetary policy experts from many European countries and prominent international institutions to discuss questions such as how to use fiscal policy to support stable growth in living standards, whether we should worry about current debt levels in Europe and how to prevent their future build-up, or what we should be doing about population ageing and the consequences on government budgets.”
