Important: We would like to inform you that with regards to the situation with the coronavirus in our country and the recommendation of the institutions we have decided to postpone the Coface Country Risk Conference, which was scheduled for the 9th of April. We will announce a new date in the autumn.
We announce the traditional Coface Country Risk conference. The theme this year is "Economy cooling and global warming –risk is the new normal?".
Is it true that the most expected economic crisis is coming? What will be the impact on the business? What are the risks related to the climate change? What are the prospects for the digitalization and cybersecurity in the modern world? What does all this mean for the entrepreneurs?
These and many more questions will be answered at the upcoming 8th Coface Country Risk Conference. The topic is “Economy cooling and global warming – risk is the new normal”. Reputable analysts and leaders in big businesses will present their know - how so that companies get as much information about the environment as possible – and how to be more efficient in trading, exporting and planning their financial flows.
The program for 2020 will include several plenary presentations and two panel discussions on important and useful topics related to economy cooling, the effects of climate change and business development strategies. Chief economist of Coface Grzegorz Sielewicz will provide an overview and analysis of country risk and Plamen Dimitrov, Country manager for Coface Bulgaria will provide hot data for the risks by sector and prospective markets respectively.
Preliminary program
We are witnessing a slowdown in the economy and business risks appear to be growing. How can be prepared and what can we all do to maintain stability and even generate growth? How do global political decisions affect the global economy and also the situation here in Bulgaria? What are causes of climate change and how do they affect business? What strategies can we implement - is cybersecurity the answer?
