The Budapest Eurasia Forum<\/a> will be organised again by Magyar Nemzeti Bank, the central bank of Hungary (MNB), in a format of an E-Conference on 27th October 2020. Supporting partners of the Forum include the Shanghai Forum, the Fudan Development Institute and the Singapore FinTech Festival. The E-Conference is the second event of the Budapest Eurasia Forum event series, which begun its journey in 2019. The forum-series reflects to MNB\u2019s efforts towards increasing its involvement in the international dialogue and enhance the professional cooperation among various members of the economic community.<\/p>\n

The intensifying cooperation between Europe and Asia, the increasing role of China on the international stage and the resulting economic and geopolitical shift, and the expanding cooperation possibilities among the counties of Eurasia are among the most intriguing questions of our times. The Budapest Eurasia Forum event series intends to examine these topics on a yearly basis and generate a comprehensive professional dialogue for the sake of supporting transcontinental partnerships. Located in the heart of Europe, Hungary is well-positioned to serve as an intellectual hub for experts from various countries and increase its contribution to the cooperation between Europe and Asia. In line with this concept the Budapest Eurasia Forum event series intends to serve as high level professional platform for academics, decision-makers, and business leaders from across Eurasia.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented challenges of 2020 highlighted the importance of global solidarity and cooperation, therefore strengthened our belief that the dialogue should continue despite the hurdles caused by the pandemic. As a result, the Budapest Eurasia Forum will be organised in a digital format this year, under the title \u201cEurasian cooperation in the post-pandemic era\u201d and it is planned to include a high-level opening ceremony, followed by 3 professional panels. The panel topics recall the core areas of the Forum concept, such as geopolitics, multilateral cooperation, finance, economics, innovation, education, and connectivity. The panel participants will discuss how the COVID-19 shapes the geopolitical landscape the multilateral cooperation, the challenges of ensuring long-term economic growth, and the pandemic\u2019s impact on urban life and smart city developments.<\/p>\n
