Abstract

Die Konjunktur in der EU befand sich 2021 auf Erholungskurs, wurde aber weiterhin durch die hohe Unsicherheit über die weitere Entwicklung der COVID-19-Pandemie geprägt. Maßgeblich für die Konjunkturerholung war die expansive Geld- und Fiskalpolitik in der EU und im Euro-Raum, wo Ende 2021 hohe Inflationsraten verzeichnet wurden. Dieser Beitrag diskutiert drei Hauptthemen der EU-Wirt¬schaftspolitik 2021/22: die geldpolitische Strategie, die Fiskalregeln und das Instrument "NextGenerationEU". Die kürzlich angepassten geldpolitischen Strategien der Europäischen Zentralbank sowie der Federal Reserve tolerieren kurzfristig höhere Inflationsraten, orientieren sich aber mittelfristig weiterhin am Inflationsziel von 2%. Ausgewählte Vorschläge zur Reform der EU-Fiskalregeln gehen von der deutlich gestiegenen Verschuldung der Mitgliedsländer aus und weisen zugleich auf die strukturelle Reduktion der Gleichgewichtszinssätze hin, die die Schuldenlast verringert. Abschließend wird auf die Aufbau- und Resilienzfazilität (Recovery and Resilience Facility – RRF), das Kernstück von NextGenerationEU, eingegangen. Die RRF befindet sich bereits in der Implementierungsphase und soll in den kommenden Jahren wichtige Investitionen und Reformen unterstützen.
