MEGA X: A Different Kind of Economic Conference

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
On 4 April 2014, the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” launched the 10th edition of its publication MEGA: Analysis of Economic Growth in Moldova at the Leogrand Convention Centre in the capital. The event brought together central authorities, diplomatic missions, donors, the media and experts.
The publication analyses the performance of the Moldovan economy, explains the main macroeconomic and sectoral trends that took shape in 2013 and early 2014, and offers a forecast of the key economic indicators for 2014 and 2015.
The event also introduced several novelties for conferences of this kind in the country. Two Vox pop videos were produced with Radio Free Europe, on perceptions of economic growth in 2013 and of future growth. A tweetwall projected a live stream of participants’ tweets on the report’s key points, and the hashtag #megax2014 was mentioned more than 50 times across social networks. The conference also featured many visual aids, including a presentation in PREZI format. The MEGA X publication is available for download.
