Adapting to changed geopolitical realities amidst deep structural challenges
European sovereigns are faced with tackling sluggish growth prospects against the backdrop of limited fiscal space and a changing political landscape, marked by the rise of populist parties. The negative impact from adverse demographics is becoming increasingly visible, while geopolitical realities have profoundly changed.
- How will the Draghi report and reformed EU fiscal rules affect the outlook for growth dynamics and government balance sheets? How does this compare with the approach to fiscal rules taken in the UK?
- Is the positive credit story in former crisis countries coming to an end?
- What are the challenges and opportunities arising from the US election results?
