On Friday 3 June the IES will be hosting together with the Representation of the European Commission to Belgium an Expert Conference to debate the future of economic governance in Europe.
Delivering a deeper and fairer Economic and Monetary Union is one of the top 10 priorities of President Juncker in his Political Guidelines. The 5 Presidents' Report on Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union proposes an ambitious roadmap for completing EMU within the next decade by making progress towards four objectives:
- Genuine Economic Union that ensures each economy has the structural features to prosper within the Monetary Union;
- Financial Union that guarantees the integrity of our currency across the Monetary Union by limiting risks to financial stability and increasing risk-sharing with the private sector;
- Fiscal Union that delivers both fiscal sustainability and fiscal stabilisation and; finally,
- Political Union that provides the foundation for all of the above through genuine democratic accountability, legitimacy and institutional strengthening.
