A Busy Brussels Summit: Money and Markets in Moscow’s Shadow

We explore expectations and challenges for the European Council meeting on June 18 and 19 in Brussels. It takes place at an interesting moment when several developments come together. Hungary’s change of government has set the formal opening of the first accession cluster for Ukraine and Moldova in motion. Leaders will discuss the size of the EU’s next long-term budget and also focus on fair competition and the European position vis-à-vis China.
