Media-shy group of economic decision-makers and experts.

,

The Euro 50 Group is an informal and very media-shy forum for leading European experts in the field of monetary policy of the European Central Bank. The members include politicians, former and present central bank leaders, bank directors, representatives of financial corporations, associations and institutions as well as scientists and journalists, who meet twice a year to exchange views. These conferences are known as the "Euro50 Roundtable" or "Annual Breakfast Seminar".

Activities

At least one of the meeting was in Washington DC, where Alan Greenspan held a speech.[1] In a meeting in Tokyo, the Japanese Central Bank Governor Toshihiko Fukui spoke to the Euro 50 Roundtable.[2], and a few other meetings around the world are known. Other meetings are in places such as Bali, Indonesia[3], meaning the Group gets significant funding from unknown sources.

The group does not publish a presentation and does not have its own website, but apparently has its own Steering Committee. According to the few publicly available sources of information, the following members are known:

The founder is Edmond Alphandéry, a former Minister of the Economy of France and business CEO.[4]
