Hello Future is blue readers,
Welcome to our newsletter about European economic affairs bringing together top experts from academia and think tanks to discuss the most pressing economic challenges of today. Future is Blue is promoted by Funcas.
Renewed geopolitical tensions are generating additional uncertainties to the European economy. However, some countries such as Spain appear to be withstanding the shock relatively well.
