The 64th Annual Meeting of the Ifo Institute took place on Wednesday, 26 June 2013, in the Grosse Aula of the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich.
The future of European integration depends largely on the extent to which the Monetary Union can be put on solid foundations. To contribute to a more objective public policy debate, the Ifo Annual Meeting illuminated the scope for the development of the Monetary Union from different angles. After an introduction by Professor Hans-Werner Sinn, Professor Dietrich Murswiek, University of Freiburg, and Professor Otmar Issing, University of Frankfurt, delivered keynote speeches on the constitutional and economic issues. This was followed by a panel discussion with the three speakers joined by Professor Brun-Hagen Hennerkes, Foundation for Family Enterprises. The panel was chaired by Dr. Marc Beise, Süddeutsche Zeitung.
