Banco de España and the Banque de France co-organise the conference “Structural reforms in the wake of recovery: Where do we stand?” to be held in Madrid on 18-19 June 2015.

• The optimal timing of structural reforms

• Interaction between structural reforms and macroeconomic policies

• International spillovers of structural reforms
