Online Panel Discussion: Fiscal Policy after Corona: Debt Crisis or Stability?
Sandra Parthie Event 19. May 2021 Online Panel Discussion: Fiscal Policy after Corona: Debt Crisis or Stability?
The Corona crisis has exacerbated existing structural problems in the Member States and caused a steep rise of national debt. While the reference value of national debt limit was once fixed at 60% of the GDP, it has now risen far beyond in some member states.
The Corona crisis has exacerbated existing structural problems in the Member States and caused a steep rise of national debt. While the reference value of national debt limit was once fixed at 60% of the GDP, it has now risen far beyond in some member states.
But will a more flexible application of the Stability and Growth Pact (IW-Analyse 142) rules lead us into a new debt crisis? What about the long-term goals of economic and monetary union and the internal market?
The German Economic Institute (IW) and the Brussels Office of the Hanns Seidel Foundation cordially invite you to discuss these and other questions about European fiscal policy and stability with our experts on the panel.

Moderation: Sandra PARTHIE, German Economic Institute, Head of Brussels Office
The event will take place online (via Zoom) on Wednesday, 19 May 2021, from 1.00 pm to 2.00 pm. Conference languages are German and English (with simultaneous interpretation). Please find the programme attached.
