BdB and IW Webinar: The ECB’s answer to the Corona crisis

The Corona virus is an unprecedented challenge to the EU. All member states have put their citizens into some form of lockdown for several weeks now. Supply chains are interrupted, manufacturing is stopped, services are suspended. The economic consequences are unparalleled, challenging politics to implement crisis management measures on national but also on European level.

The European Central Bank (ECB) plays a crucial role in providing support to the economy and has adopted a package of crisis management measures. Therefore, we discuss with our distinguished speakers: How do these measures work? Will they be enough? What else may be needed and is there even anything else the ECB – or the EU – could do?
