EU's finanspolitiske ramme
For at sikre stabilitet i Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union er der brug for en robust ramme for så vidt muligt at undgå uholdbare offentlige finanser. En reform (som led i den såkaldte "sixpack"), der ændrer stabilitets- og vækstpagten, trådte i kraft ved udgangen af 2011.

I maj 2013 trådte ...
Den Økonomiske og Monetære Unions udvikling
Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union (ØMU'en) er resultatet af en økonomisk integration i EU. Der er blevet indført en fælles valuta, euroen, i euroområdet, som på nuværende tidspunkt består af 20 EU-medlemsstater. Alle EU-medlemsstater — med undtagelse af Danmark — skal indføre euroen, når de opfylder konvergenskriterierne. En fælles monetær politik fastsættes af Eurosystemet, som omfatter Den Europæiske Centralbanks direktion og centralbankcheferne i euroområdet.

Tiltagene ...

EU’s response to the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
Although the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) pursues a range of aims, the two main ones are the lowering of inflation by removing purchasing power from the US economy, and to provide the United State's contribution to fighting climate change. Unlike similar EU measures, most of its climate support is done via tax subsidies. Although hailed in the EU for heralding a new era in US climate policy, the IRA is being criticised for its outright 'Buy American' provisions. Amongst others, it is feared that ...
