Future-Proofing the Euro
May 23, 2025--Europe's policymakers must not rely on the next crisis to force reform to the single currency
The euro is at the core of the European project, but its future is far from assured. Introduced more than 25 years ago, it has survived one crisis after another, and its rules and institutions have changed along the way. Yet these changes to the functioning of European monetary union form a poor long-term basis for institutions.
They have spawned ever larger and less constrained monetary and fiscal interventions and sown the seeds for even worse future crises.
This is the sobering diagnosis of Crisis Cycle, a new book on the euro's evolution by a unique trio: Stanford University's John Cochrane, a leading scholar of monetary and fiscal matters; Luis Garicano, once a member of the European Parliament, now at the London School of Economics; and Klaus Masuch, whose lifetime career in the European Central Bank’s engine rooms of monetary policy and crisis management included work with the "troika" that negotiated the Greek adjustment program after the 2010 debt crisis.

Meeting of 16-17 April 2025 Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank
May 22, 2025--Held in Frankfurt am Main
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel recalled that President Trump's announcement on 2 April 2025 of unexpectedly high tariffs had sparked a sharp sell-off in global equity markets and in US bond markets, leading to a surge in financial market volatility.
The severity of the tariffs and the manner in which they had been introduced had led to a breakdown of standard cross-market correlations, with a sell-off of US equities occurring at the same time as a sell-off of Treasuries in the context of a marked depreciation of the US dollar against major currencies.
Movements in euro area risk-free rates reflected the opposing impacts of the historic German fiscal package and the global trade conflict.

ECB-Financial Stability Review, May 2025
May 13, 2025--When the US Administration announced a new set of tariffs in April this year, it caused a spike in financial market volatility while testing stretched market valuations. Although expectations for tariff rates have eased somewhat since then, the repercussions of the shock continue to reverberate and the risks of an economic slowdown have increased markedly.
Financial markets across the globe sold off at an unsettling speed in early April and financial conditions tightened considerably. While risky assets have been recovering their losses since temporary tariff pauses were announced, markets remain highly sensitive to news about global trade arrangements.
The abrupt change in US tariff policy forms part of a larger shift in the geopolitical environment, with economic and financial impacts that could yet test euro area financial stability. Uncertainty lingers within many important policy domains beyond trade-from regulation to national security. In this environment, the likelihood of increasingly frequent and impactful adverse tail events has increased. Furthermore, while global imbalances remain a long-standing issue in the policy debate, it is not clear that tariffs are the best-placed policy instrument to address them.
