Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action
- Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.
- Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.
- European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.
- Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.

Exclusive: Poland focusing on EU recovery grants, law change to ramp up investments
reuters.com/world/europe/poland-focusing-eu-recovery-grants-law-change-ramp-up-investments-2024-04-15/
Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.
