Danish Constitution Day Reception - Summer Party yearly hosted by the Ambassador of Royal Danmark to Latvia. A yearly big celebration for all Danes living in Latvia.

Latvijas Banka states that Latvia's economic growth has been robust and balanced in 2018, continuing a momentum achieved already in 2017. What to expect from 2019? Can we look optimistically at Latvia's economy this year in the context of e.g. Britain and Brexit and the economic policies of the new government of Latvia? Morten Hansen, Head of Economics Department, SSE Riga, Member of the Fiscal Discipline Council of Latvia will give a professional insight in these issues.

On 27 March at 17.30, you are most welcome to attend the lecture Nordic Leadership – Is It So Special? by Ulf Andreasson, Senior Adviser at the Policy Analysis and Statistics Department of the Nordic Council of Ministers and one of the authors of the recently published report “Nordic Leadership”. The report describes how various studies on culture, leadership and values characterize the Nordic leadership style: flat organisations, smaller degree of formality, leaders with a high degree of integrity, and an emphasis on consensus. The research also included attempts to find factors in Nordic societies that could help explain the leadership style in the Nordic region, with particular attention paid to two of these: the creation of the Nordic welfare state and the tradition of balancing different interests in society, especially within the labor market.

Annual General Meeting, for members only.

SOLD OUT! The Danish Chamber of Commerce in Latvia together with the Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish Chambers of Commerce cordially invites you to join a business luncheon with the new Minister of Justice, Mr. Jānis Bordāns (The New Conservative Party - Jauna konservatīvā partija), at the Radisson Blu Ridzene Hotel (Reimersa iela 1, Rīga) on Wednesday, March 6, at 13:00. Registration and networking from 12:30. Recorded conversations at Ridzene Hotel between 2009 and 2011 exposed potential large scale corruption schemes and trading with power and influence in Latvia involving various government officials and private business owners. Mr. Bordāns run in the last Parliamentary elections was partly based on combating exactly such illegal behavior, with his party’s campaign platform that was focused on strengthening the rule of law, fighting corruption, and reforming the insolvency process in Latvia. Now Mr. Bordāns is pushing for an independent review of the Latvian judicial system, in order to increase transparency and decrease corruption.
