    Germany's choice
  • Germans, the euro and the painful truth
    Opinion piece by Charles Grant
    International Herald Tribune, 12 June 2012

    Will the Germans save the euro? Many people within the European Union and further afield are urging Berlin to take bold steps to secure the currency’s future. They have become frustrated by the Germans' apparent inaction. 

  • Some sorts of austerity are better than others
    Insight by John Springford, 01 June 2012

    Governments in the eurozone's periphery are making indiscriminate cuts. Reducing spending that does little to support demand and recycling it into investment would help.

  • Germany's choice: Higher inflation or sovereign defaults
    Insight by Simon Tilford, 09 May 2012

    Germany faces a choice between higher inflation or a wave of sovereign defaults culminating in either a transfer union or the collapse of the eurozone.

  • Governance reforms have left the euro's flawed structure intact
    Insight by Philip Whyte, 18 April 2012

    European leaders have presided over a major overhaul of the way the eurozone is run. But the eurozone's basic institutional configuration remains as unstable as ever.

  • Stable public finances require stronger business investment
    Bulletin article by Simon Tilford, 26 March 2012

    Economic recovery in Europe is being held back by the unprecedented weakness of business investment. Despite a secular decline in business taxation and labour market reforms that have boosted the power of capital relative to labour, the ratio of investment-to-GDP across the EU is at a 60 year low.

  • Eurozone policy-makers place a big bet
    Insight by Simon Tilford, 13 March 2012

    The ECB's decision to lend almost unlimited amounts of money to Europe's banks has bought the eurozone some time. But there is risk that time will be wasted.

  • Europe's growth strategy: All supply and no demand
    Insight by Philip Whyte, 27 February 2012

    Europe's growth performance since 2008 has been abject. The reason is that fiscal policy has done too little to offset the impact of deleveraging in the private sector.

  • France: Why the self-flagellation?
    Insight by Simon Tilford, 10 February 2012

    France has its economic weaknesses. But in some important respects its model holds out better prospects for a return to economic growth across the eurozone than does Germany's.
