The Czech Republic's Ministry of Finance published remarks delivered at the 17th Economic Forum in Limassol advocating European economic policies that adapt to changing conditions while preserving fiscal discipline. The address calls for simpler regulation, less bureaucracy and flexibility in European economic governance, arguing that rigid rules that disregard economic conditions can undermine stability. It also supports strengthening European strategic autonomy without restricting openness to international trade. The proposed priorities include strengthening the single market and completing the Savings and Investments Union to channel capital into productive investment. Greater investment in research, innovation and workforce skills would support the technological transition and competitiveness. The address also reviews progress during Cyprus' presidency of the Council of the European Union on capital market integration, the Multiannual Financial Framework and the digital euro, rather than announcing new measures. On energy security, it advocates diversifying sources and supply routes, accelerating the green transition and developing cross-border infrastructure.
