Europe faces a predicament. Even as it struggles to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, itâs setting itself up for another crisis â this one financial. To ensure the viability of the common currency at the heart of the European project, the EUâs leaders will have to cooperate in ways theyâve so far resisted.
Adopting the single currency has yielded great benefits, from frictionless trade to improved global competitiveness. But the euro also obliged member states to relinquish the independent monetary policies that can help backstop national debts and financial systems. One result is that distress at banks presents a heightened threat to individual governmentsâ finances, and vice versa â the so-called âdoom loopâ that played out in spectacular fashion during the early 2010s, when the euro area nearly broke apart.
