Fiscal policy in times of crises - An analysis of EMU Constitutional Framework

Studie 20-09-2023

This study, commissioned by the European ºÏ·¨²©²ÊÍøÕ¾â€™s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the AFCO Committee, examines the fiscal responses of the EU to the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. It claims that the law & policy tools developed to address these crises have led to the establishment, and consolidation, of an EU fiscal capacity – contributing to overcoming the original imbalance of the EU’s Economic & Monetary Union. Nevertheless, the study claims that these developments now require appropriate institutional adjustments, and considers options to achieve them.
