2013 Article IV Consultation with the Euro Area Concluding Statement of IMF Mission

July 8, 2013--Policy actions over the past year have addressed important tail risks and stabilized financial markets. But growth remains weak and unemployment is at a record high.

Concerted policy actions to restore financial sector health and complete the banking union are essential to reverse financial fragmentation along national borders and support the recovery. While these efforts proceed, continued demand support in the near term and deeper structural reforms throughout the euro area remain instrumental to raise growth and create jobs.

1. Important actions at both the national and euro-wide levels have tackled the immediate threats to the single currency evident at this time last year. The ECB’s Outright Monetary Transactions framework helped address severe market distortions and improve the efficiency of monetary policy. The completion of the ESM firewall, the extension of official loan maturities to program countries, the improvement in the policy coordination framework, and the agreements on Greece and Cyprus have also been instrumental in combating the crisis. And national governments have made progress in restoring the health of public finances and implementing structural reforms. Together, these actions have helped tackle dangerous tail risks for EMU and led to positive spillovers outside the euro area.
