Europe has done remarkably well against a turbulent backdrop. After years of crises and their fallouts, a soft landing for the continent’s economies is within reach. Securing it will require careful calibration of macroeconomic policies. As the cyclical recovery runs its course, growth will increasingly depend on structural factors. Yet there are several formidable headwinds to growth, including weakening productivity, an aging population, and underinvestment. Navigating these headwinds to higher medium-term growth will require structural reform efforts that should begin now. For the EU, this means urgently tapping the significant potential from further European integration. Combined with complementary measures at the domestic level, these reforms would go to show once again how Europe can overcome even the most severe obstacles when acting decisively and together.
The just released IMF Regional Economic Outlook for Europe discusses the economic reform agenda needed to cope with these multiple challenges. The discussion will focus on what policymakers in Brussels and at the national level can and should do to return Europe to greater competitiveness and faster growth.
The Regional Economic Outlook will be presented by Mr. Alfred Kammer, Director of the European Department at the IMF. He will then be joined by Ms. Maria Demertzis, Senior Fellow at Bruegel, and Ms. Christiane Nickel, Deputy Director General of DG Economics at the European Central Bank, for a panel discussion moderated by Ms. Maria Tadeo, Europe Correspondent.

World Economic Forum Video: Tinder Swindler: how 'romance fraud' became a multi-billion dollar cybercrime
The Netflix documentary 'The Tinder Swindler' is a mind-boggling case of so-called 'romance fraud' in which a charming, handsome - and apparently very rich - man meets women on a dating app - gets them to fall in love with him - and then cons them out of lots of money.
Cecilie Fjellhøy is the Norwegian woman at the centre of the documentary whose life was torn apart by the actions of a conman. A survivor of romance fraud on a grand scale, she now advocates for the rights of, and support for, others who find themselves in similar grim circumstances.
We also hear from Sean Doyle, who works at the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, on just how widespread romance fraud really is, why it’s a multinational, multi-billion form of cyber crime, and what is being done to combat it.

World Economic Forum Video: Banking Uplifts Women in Pakistan & World's Busiest Airports | WEF | Top Stories of the Week
This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 Banking uplifts women in Pakistan – Pakistan has a large gender gap in financial inclusion. 47% of men have at least one registered financial account but just 13% of women. Even for those with an account, banking can be prohibitively time-consuming, especially for women who are running a business alongside a household. Now a new kind of digital banking service is helping to close this gap.
2:23 World's busiest airports revealed – The world's busiest airports in 2023 were dominated by the United States, with five airports cracking the top 10. Overall, global airports saw a significant rebound in 2023, handling a total of 8.5 billion trips.
4:39 WMO: Asia hardest hit by climate – In 2023, Asia saw a wave of extreme weather events from floods to cyclones. World Economic Forum Head of Climate Adaptation Eric White explains why climate change is making extreme weather more likely.
7:07 Saving Earth with space science – Simonetta Di Pippo says that space is already helping tackle the greatest challenges on Earth. Satellite connectivity is improving our management of disasters and powering digital transformation. Which is revolutionizing sectors from healthcare to education, retail and communication.

'Spatial computing', 'blended reality', 'the metaverse'. For those of us who still use screens and keyboards to access the digital world, those phrases might not mean very much. But many experts believe the '2D' internet will soon be a thing of the past, and we will all be, one way or another, in a 3D metaverse.
With Apple's Vision Pro headset renewing interest in virtual reality, we speak to two proponents of the metaverse who see both huge opportunities and significant risks.

A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency said it will investigate.
In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.”
In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule.
“We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported.
Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations.
