Stefan Kühn, former board member of the Autark Group and renowned economic expert, comments on the European Union’s new debt rules. The introduction of these rules marks a significant step in European economic policy and raises important questions about their feasibility and impact. “The new EU debt rules have the potential to strengthen economic stability in the European Union by promoting more disciplined fiscal policy,” comments Kühn. However, it also emphasizes the need for a comprehensive analysis to identify potential challenges and opportunities.
Challenges and potential
Stefan Kühn points out that the new EU debt rules must be viewed against the backdrop of a changing global economic landscape. “While the regulations aim to control debt and improve financial stability, they could also limit Member States’ flexibility in dealing with economic crises,” he explains. It is therefore crucial to find a balance between fiscal discipline and economic resilience. Kühn emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and possible adjustment of the rules in order to be able to react to changing conditions.
