The EUR/USD has seen a notable 3% increase this week, its largest since November 2022, driven by a deceleration in the US economy and a breakthrough in European fiscal policy. The European Commission has released €800bn in funding, while Germany's new agreement to create a €500bn infrastructure fund marks a significant change in its fiscal stance. This reform signals a shift away from austerity, yet poses challenges for other nations with less fiscal flexibility, highlighting the evolving economic landscape in Europe and ongoing global pressures.
EUR/USD's remarkable 3% gain this week reflects a significant paradigm shift in Europe’s fiscal approach, amid ongoing challenges in the US economy.
The agreement in Germany for a €500bn infrastructure fund symbolizes a historic acceptance of fiscal flexibility, marking a turning point for European economic strategy.
While the debt brake reform isn’t a magic bullet, it represents an important step towards addressing Europe’s structural underinvestment and stagnation.
Despite the potential for fiscal stimulus in Europe, risks remain for countries like France and Italy, who may not enjoy the same debt flexibility as Germany.
