The Political Stability and Growth Pact is Dead: Long Live the Economic Stability and Growth Pact

Author

  • PATRICK LEBLOND

Abstract

Euro area countries suspended the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) of the Stability and Growth Pact in November 2003. Surprisingly perhaps, long‐term European government bond‐holders did not react: yields barely moved. Owing to its political nature, the EDP does not matter for investors. What matters is the implicit economic pact that investors have made with Member State governments.
