The Euro 50 Group, sometimes Euro50, is a group of individuals that organizes non-public meetings to debate European economic and financial policy themes, with an emphasis on monetary policy and the euro area.[1] It is led by Edmond Alphandéry, who created it in 1999 with the help of Alexandre Lamfalussy.[2]
The Euro 50 Group's activity is not public, and the group does not maintain a website. It organizes several meetings every year in locations around Europe and in Washington, D.C., the latter on the occasion of Spring meetings and Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Participants to Euro 50 Group meetings include "high level economists, bankers and officials from different countries."[3]
As of the late 2010s, the Euro 50 Group was supported by France's Caisse des Dépôts via a nonprofit entity, the Association pour la Stabilité Financière Internationale.[7]:53
