The 18th Journées de l’Économie 2025 Set to Transform Lyon into a Hub of Economic Dialogue

From November 4 to 6, 2025, Lyon will host the eagerly anticipated 18th edition of the Journées de l’Économie (Jeco), a major economic event open to everyone with free admission upon prior registration. Designed for a diverse audience including high school and university students, professionals, retirees, and curious citizens, the event promises an engaging exploration of pressing economic and social challenges.

The theme for 2025, "Vieux démons et nouveaux mondes" (Old Demons and New Worlds), aims to confront enduring issues such as geopolitical tensions, economic sovereignty, and inequality alongside emerging forces like artificial intelligence, ecological transition, and new mobility solutions. Practical topics such as purchasing power, employment, housing, health, savings, and taxation will be central to discussions.

Over three days, the program features diverse formats including conferences and round tables with economists, public actors, business leaders, journalists, and civil society representatives. Key discussions will cover Europe and international trade, industrial decarbonization, cryptocurrencies, and the sustainability of public debt. The event ensures accessibility through live online broadcasts and replays, supplemented by preparatory materials, blog posts, and keynote speaker works to sustain engagement throughout the year.

As noted by La Finance Pour Tous, this pluralistic dialogue underscores Jeco's commitment to connecting macroeconomic trends with daily citizen concerns, fostering a deeper public understanding of France’s economic landscape and global economic dynamics.
