BusinessEurope places great importance on the macroeconomic dialogue, considering it an invaluable platform for exchanging perspectives and actively engaging in discussions with institutions and other social partners. Director General Markus J. Beyrer summarised businesses' views on the economic situation before discussing the challenges and opportunities for strengthening Europe's economic base. He remarked, "2023 was the seventh time in the last ten
years that US growth has exceeded that in the EU. Strengthening Europe's competitiveness must be at the forefront of the next political cycle, a reboot of European policies is vital to tackling structural weaknesses". He also stressed that we will only be able to play a strong role in a changing world and achieve EU's environmental and social goals by strengthening Europe's economy and improving its attractiveness as an investment location.
