Informal Meeting of Finance Ministers
Welcome to Göteborg and to the informal meeting of finance ministers on 1–2 October! In the course of this two-day meeting, EU finance ministers and central bank governors discuss how to restore the public finances to good order when the need for support measures recedes and how to create frameworks that can prevent such a widespread crisis from recurring. We are also discussing how to prevent unemployment becoming entrenched and how to stop climate and environmental change.

What is an informal Ecofin meeting?
The informal Ecofin (Economic and Financial Affairs Council) meetings bring together the finance ministers and central bank governors of all EU countries. The meetings are held twice a year to discuss issues of common interest. The governors of the European Central Bank (ECB), European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) also participate. Leading academics and business leaders are often invited to attend parts of a meeting. No formal decisions are taken on these occasions, but agreements can be reached on political guidelines for later EU cooperation. The finance ministers also meet at formal meetings of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council, usually once a month.
