Directorate for Economy and Growth

The Directorate-General for Economy, Transformation and Industry (DG ECTI) supports the work of several key parliamentary committees and is committed to empowering Members of the European Parliament with the tools, expertise, and support they need to excel in their legislative, scrutiny, and budgetary roles. 

As a cornerstone of the European Parliament’s administrative structure, DG ECTI ensures the seamless functioning of committee activities, while fostering evidence-based decision-making informed by expert analysis and dedicated research services across the policy areas falling under its remit, including economic and monetary affairs, taxation, the internal market and consumer protection, industry, research and energy, the environment, climate, food safety, and public health.

Within DG ECTI, the Directorate for Economy and Growth is focusing on economic governance, financial markets, competition, taxation, digital transformation and the internal market. The Directorate supports the ECON, IMCO, and FISC (Sub-) Committees and provides them with tailor-made expertise and research through a dedicated Policy Department as well as the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit.

As you will gather from the description above, we are a very busy Directorate, hard-working, but also with a good team spirit and competent and friendly colleagues.
