25 IV. The great divide: Maastricht 2.0 versus Euro
26 Polar views on the insolvency problem Maastricht 2.0: Insolvency risk is a positive feature: necessary for achieving full market discipline Strict no-bail out and formal insolvency procedures for sovereigns Fiscal competences at the national level Euro 2.0 Insolvency risk is a negative feature: exposes member states to unpredictable effects of market forces Debt mutualisation Transfer of fiscal competences to EZ-level (EMF, EFI, European Finance Minister) 26
27 Two views on market discipline Feld et al. (2016, p.55): An insolvency mechanism for sovereigns that credibly stipulates a creditor bail-in would not only help with burden sharing (similar to the bail-in rules for the banking sector), but also give creditors incentives to assess the default risks of government bonds and loans accurately and factor them in when calculating risk premiums. This should result in ex -ante disciplining of government budgetary policy and would, thus, support crisis prevention. Delors-Report (1989): ( ), experience suggests that market perceptions do not necessarily provide strong and compelling signals and that access to a large capital market may for some time even facilitate the financing of economic imbalances. Rather than leading to a gradual adaptation of borrowing costs, market views about the creditworthiness of official borrowers tend to change abruptly and result in the closure of access to market financing. The constraints imposed by market forces might either be too slow and weak or too sudden and disruptive. 27
28 Underlying assumptions of reform proposals More political integration is not possible More political integration is possible Market discipline more effective than political discipline/markets self-stabilizing Political discipline more effective than market discipline/markets need stabilization by state Maastricht 2.0: Insolvency regime for Euro area (German Council of Economic Experts majority) Muddling through Stabilising the the Status quo which relies on heavy ECB support (QE/OMT) Hybrid forms of Maastricht2.0/Euro 2.0 Euro 2.0: Some form of debt mutualisation. Transfer of policy competences to the Euro area level 28
29 V. Intermediate solutions 29
30 Intermediate solutions More effective fiscal policy coordination in the European Semester Golden rule for the Stability and Growth Pact Debt mutualisation for new debt, related to joint investment projects or for debt raised in exceptional conditions EZ unemployment insurance EZ budget 30
31 Main challenges of the Eurozone Insolvency risk Insufficient fiscal policy coordination Beggar-my-neighbour policies Compensation of regions which are negatively affected by trade shocks Willingness to reform detrimental political and economic structures 31
