President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, to visit the Netherlands 08:30 Kyriakos Pierrakakis, President of the Eurogroup, is travelling to Amsterdam and The Hague[...]

Today, 11 March, the President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis will visit the Netherlands for a series of meetings with national authorities to discuss the macroeconomic situation and Eurogroup priorities including digital finance and the Savings and Investments Union.

In the morning, he will meet the Dutch Minister of Finance Eelco Heinen in The Hague. In the afternoon he will travel to Amsterdam where he will meet the President of the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank) Olaf Sleijpen.

Periods of economic turbulence remind us why policy coordination across the European Union matters so much. I look forward to discussing the current economic outlook with Minister Heinen and President Sleijpen. Yet our discussion should not stop at managing immediate risks; the Eurogroup must continue to focus on the deeper task of strengthening Europe's long-term competitiveness.

Kyriakos Pierrakakis, President of the Eurogroup
