Despite unprecedented monetary stimulus packages in all major currency areas for
more than half a decade now, the economic performance in many parts of the world is
still widely considered as unsatisfactory. This has given fresh impetus to make heavier
use of fiscal tools. However, the limits to fiscal policy – in particular high public debt
levels in many countries – had been the reason that the monetary authorities were
urged to take over in the first place. As the ultra-low interest rate period so far has not
been used for ambitious consolidation efforts, there is a controversial debate on whether
or not more public spending may be a macroeconomic game-changer for the good.
This debate is particularly pronounced in the European Union where the interpretation
of the common fiscal framework is an ongoing matter of dispute. This coincides with
even more fundamental questions regarding the future shape of the EU in the aftermath
of the British referendum that challenges business leaders and policy makers alike.
Top-speakers include
Emmanuel Massé, Assistant Secretary, Directorate-General of the Treasury, Macroeconomic Policies and European Affairs Department, Paris
Ludger Schuknecht, Chief Economist, German Federal Ministry of Finance
