Draghi Report Highlights Urgent Financial Requirements for EU Competitiveness
Draghi Report Overview
The Draghi Report outlines the pressing financial needs of the European Union to maintain its competitiveness on a global scale. According to the report, the EU will require extraordinary financial resources, estimating at least 750 to 800 billion euros in additional annual investments, which constitutes about 4.4-4.7% of its GDP in 2023.
Comparative Analysis
To put this into perspective, the investments made under the Marshall Plan from 1948 to 1951 amounted to only 1-2% of the EU's GDP.
Strategic Framework
This extensive report, comprising 400 pages, aims to define strategies that not only revive the EU but also tackle challenges posed by global superpowers like the USA and China. Key themes include:
- Innovation
- Energy
- Climate
- Social Inclusion
- Reduction of Vulnerabilities
