Europe requires European bonds

Chamley, Christophe.

Is it time for Eurobonds? This column argues that Eurobonds have always been the right solution. Every successful union throughout history has needed to create a proper financial instrument of sovereign debt – and the Eurozone is no different.

The ongoing Eurozone crisis has at least four dimensions:

  • Divergent labour costs between countries
  • Reluctance to embrace fiscal sharing,
  • Seemingly high levels of some sovereign debts, and
  • Self-fulfilling high interest rates on some sovereign bonds that may lead to default.
