CA(d)FE’s first Meet & Share took place on September 22, 2022, at the Palace Hotel in Tallinn. Around twenty participants gathered to exchange ideas and engage in meaningful discussions in a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.
This monthly event, scheduled every third Thursday of the month, aims to foster networking and knowledge sharing among professionals. The next session will be held on October 20, 2022, and is free for CA(d)FE members.
The upcoming session will focus on the theme of culture shock:
- For expatriates: What was your biggest surprise when arriving in Estonia?
- For Estonians: What was your biggest culture shock during your first work trip abroad?
The previous discussion covered the topic:
"How do you plan to run your business in an economy with an inflation rate of 25%?"
The conversation explored:
- The causes of inflation, including supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 crisis and sanctions against Russia and Belarus.
- Strategies companies are adopting to adjust pricing, manage input costs, and prioritize high-margin products.
- Insights from the Harvard Business Review and the Central Bank of Estonia’s forecasts, which sparked debate among entrepreneurs regarding the disparity between official inflation numbers and real-world experiences.
- Perspectives from Joseph Stiglitz at the Nordic Business Forum, emphasizing that interest rate hikes alone won’t solve supply-side inflation.
The discussion ended with insights on European energy policies and the potential long-term economic impact of today’s fiscal decisions.
