On Thursday, 17th of March in the afternoon, Ms. Leslie Sulenta visited the IES. Ms. Sulenta is the expert of Deloitte Consulting LLP and the chief of the PFS (Partners for Financial Stability) project, a project which gathers CEE countries under the auspices of USAID in an attempt to enhance on a multilateral level our understanding of macro-financial systems, their strengths, and weaknesses in the region as well as their importance for stability and economic growth. In a friendly conversation, representatives of the Institute and PFS management exchanged research ideas and thus far made output relevant for PFS only to earmark the alleys of possible future cooperation and IES's participation in this international project.
