Bruegel and the Financial Times are honoured to host lead candidates from key European parties for a debate about the critical economic issues facing the incoming European leadership.

In this extraordinary conversation, we will take an in-depth look at economic topics that will shape the lives of Europeans for years to come. Those include: growth, the single market, economic security and the EU budget. The candidates will have the opportunity to elaborate on the ways in which they would take on these challenges - what are their economic choices for Europe's future? Ultimately, what choices will the voters make?
