The Euro and the crisis

The economies of the world have since July 2007 experienced the deepest financial crisis since 1929. This crisis is also the most serious one the Euro has faced. But while some economist had speculated, at the peak of the crisis, on the disappearance of the Euro the common currency is still there today.

As the seriousness of the financial crisis became blatant, some European go-vernments began calling for a new global financial system, which would be able to prevent such a crisis to happen again.

The European Commission, following the conclusions of the De Larosière report, has started drafting the elements of a reform of the EU framework for financial supervision both at the micro level (individual financial institutions) and at the macro level (the financial system as a whole), which involves the creation of new financial supervisory institutions as well as a renewed regulatory framework where the role of the Euro must be reassessed.
