Eurozone: Strenghtening Resilience in Complex Times  

The global expansion is weakening somewhat faster than expected, and risks to global growth have risen, such as the escalation of trade tensions, further tightening of financial conditions, a “no-deal” Brexit, and a deeper-than-expected slowdown in China. Such risks are also weighing on the euro area, whose growth is set to moderate from 1.8 percent in 2018 to 1.6 percent in 2019. What are the policy implications for the euro area and the prospects for reform of its economic architecture? Although substantial progress has been made since the 2008 crisis, the euro area should increase its resilience in the event of future shocks, by moving toward a centralized fiscal capacity and by completing the banking union and the capital markets union.
