CASE – Annual Report 2021

Annual report

2021 has been marked as a special year for our institution, as CASE has celebrated its 30th anniversary. For over 30 years, CASE people have been assisting international policy makers, public authorities, and societies with solid evidence-based policy advice to help them boost economic growth and the well-being of individuals all around the globe.

Registered in September 1991, CASE was created with the aim to support systemic transformation in Poland and other post-communist countries. In its mission, CASE has underlined the importance of the basic foundations of market economies: strong institutions, the rule of law, and private ownership. Over the 30 years of our existence, around 1,200 experts have worked at CASE, providing policy advice in over 105 countries. The experiences of working with CASE have been gathered in a special CASE Anniversary Book entitled: “My CASE”.

I would like to express my sincere gratefulness and immense appreciation to all 82 co-authors and editors of the CASE Anniversary Book. Thanks to their pro-bono contributions, we are able to share with the future generations the history of the institution that contributed so intensively to the economic development of European societies.

Izabela Marcinkowska

President of CASE Management Board

To complement the celebrations, we also organized the CASE 30th Anniversary Conference “Looking back to look forward: the Future of the EU Economy,” where together with over 300 guests we discussed the lessons learned over the past 30 years and reflected on how to handle the challenges of the European Union and Poland in the future. The topics discussed were global value chains, the sustainability of public debt, the labor market, health policies, and other economic and social issues.

But CASE Anniversary celebrations would not have been so prosperous had it not been for CASE’s dynamic project-based statutory activity. EU institutions continued to be the biggest CASE clients, with Eurostat, DG Taxud, and the Committee of the Regions taking the lead. Once again, we had the privilege of carrying out the measurement of the VAT gap for all EU Member States.

Our continuous efforts, our competences and dedication in providing evidence-based policy advice, and our presence in different regions of the world would not be possible without our devoted team, the Supervisory Council, and CASE Fellows. At this point, on behalf of the whole Management Board, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to every single person contributing their knowledge and experience to CASE activities.

I strongly encourage you to read this CASE Annual Report and to monitor the CASE website and social media channels for new CASE initiatives and events. I can assure all CASE friends that we will keep doing our good job to support societal and economic reforms for the next 30 years and beyond.
