Rome MED 2022 - Mediterranean Dialogues

MED – MEDITERRANEAN DIALOGUES is the annual high-level initiative promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and ISPI (Italian Institute for International Political Studies) in Rome with the aim to rethink traditional approaches to the area complementing analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions and to draft a new “positive agenda”, addressing shared challenges at both the regional and the international level.

Launched in 2015, MED has quickly become the global hub for high–level dialogues on the broader Mediterranean engaging prominent leaders of Mediterranean governments, business, civil society, media and academia.

In the last few years, the MENA countries’ economic fundamentals have been distorted by the succession of crises and shocks, while the resulting socio-political scars impacted on the region’s societies. This event provides expert analyses and prospects from the field on the MENA region’s 2023 outlook, economic trends and political responses, opportunities for sustainable growth, and macro-economic reform.

Il Pentagono ha dichiarato di aver identificato un #pallone-spia in volo in #Canada e sopra strutture militari sensibili nello stato americano. Secondo le autorità, con alte probabilità il particolare dirigibile ha scopi di #spionaggio.

Il Pentagono ha dichiarato nel pomeriggio di ieri di aver identificato un pallone-spia in volo in Canada e sopra strutture militari sensibili nello stato americano. Secondo le autorità, con alte probabilità il particolare dirigibile ha scopi di spionaggio, ma si è esclusa l’opzione di colpirlo militarmente per evitare di colpire persone al suolo con i detriti.#ISPIDailyFocus → bit.ly/3RsCGud ...

Da alcune settimane gli investitori prezzano la fine dell’azione restrittiva delle banche centrali già nel corso del 2023, in anticipo rispetto alle previsioni precedenti. A partire dalla Federal Reserve americana e dalla Bank of England. Meno prevedibile la strategia della BCE. E le stime del mercato potrebbero questa volta non essere un abbaglio.#DataGlobe → bit.ly/3jxpc3S ... See MoreSee Less
