Unlocking Competitiveness for Shared Prosperity

EESC Employers’ Group priorities

The global economic landscape is undergoing far-reaching transformations, characterised by market fragmentation, rising protectionism, a damaging subsidy race and an unstable geopolitical environment. 

Given this and the urgent need for a significant increase in productive investments, prioritising competitiveness and creating a business-friendly environment must be at the forefront of the political agenda, supported by concrete policy actions. 

This document presents the short- and mid-term objectives of the EESC Employers’ Group and 10 policy actions for policymakers to improve the business environment, and thereby the EU’s competitiveness and conditions for creating prosperity for citizens.
