Economic support to sectors
Governments can spend their way out of the economic fallout from the coronavirus without fear of reproach after the European Commission last Friday put the EU’s deficit rules on ice. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen informed the public that “national governments can pump as much money into the economy as much as they need.” The EU triggered the rulebook’s “general escape clause,” which is reserved for when the EU or the eurozone faces a severe economic downturn or negative growth. EU finance ministers approved the decision today. (Source: De Havilland)
