Eesti Pank, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and
the USA think tank Global Interdependence Center (GIC) organise an
international conference "Emerging Energy Markets" in Tallinn on 21
August 2008. The conference focuses on the energy policy issues of the
Nordic and Baltic countries and takes place in the conference centre of
the Swissôtel.
"Eesti Pank and the GIC have been cooperating in various forms for
several years now. The energy policy conference is our joint project,
which aims at discussing more thoroughly the changes taking place in
the energy market of Europe and the region and their impact on the
economic and financial policy," said Governor of Eesti Pank Andres Lipstok. The main speakers of the conference are the Minister of Economic
Affairs and Communications Juhan Parts, who treats the energy policy challenges in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and
Jean-Claude Schwartz from the European Commission, who discusses Europe's changing energy policy. The
presentations are followed by three discussion panels. The first panel
provides an overview of the Nordic countries' energy markets and
infrastructure. In the second panel, market participants talk about the
energy risks arising from the current volatile environment and possible
solutions as well as about the main problems related to alternative
energy sources. The afternoon panel is dedicated to trying to find
answers to the questions how the growing raw material prices affect
economic growth and inflation and what kind of economic policies should
be pursued in the current situation. The panel discussions participants
include both market participants and analysts and experts from the IMF,
the USA, EU Member States and the Nordic Investment Bank. If you wish to attend the conference, please contact Eesti Pank by telephone +372 6680 719
