confronti 2006

November 28, 2006 - Monte-Verità, Ascona

Economic policies and growth 

The 2006 edition of confronti will be devoted to analysing growth policies. The theme appears to fit in quite harmoniously with the central issues of the preceding events (engines of growth, innovation, employment and the job market). Here is, therefore, an excellent opportunity for launching a (comparative) debate on economic policies, solutions/applications, strategies and programmes at both national and international levels.

This year, however, there will be a new confronti: restyled, and fashioned as a half-day event. Its programme has been streamlined, with stronger emphasis being placed on the interaction between participants, but also between participants and national and international authorities and experts in the field.

Reference documents

SECO, Das Wachstumspaket kommt auch in seinem zweiten Jahr voran, 1.2.2006
(Text in English not available)

Der Bundesrat hat vom Bericht «Das Wachstumspaket des Bundesrates: Stand Ende 2005» der Interdepartementalen Arbeitsgruppe Wachstum Kenntnis genommen. 2 Massnahmen sind heute verwirklicht, 7 neue Botschaften konnten dem Parlament zugeleitet werden, in 4 Berichten wurden Entscheidgrundlagen für 2006 auszuarbeitende Massnahmen bereitgestellt und 2 neue Massnahmen vervollständigen das Paket. Die Rückstände bei der Revision des Krankenversicherungsgesetzes geben allerdings zu Sorgen Anlass.
