Speakers:
Santiago Calvo-Ramos, Policy Analyst, DG ECFIN, European Commission

The discussion considered the following questions: As member-states start drafting and implementing their multi-year fiscal plans, which health investments should they prioritise? Does the EU's new fiscal framework sufficiently cater for public health as a critical public investment? And what is the role of the EU budget and the pandemic recovery fund in boosting public health?
