About the Speech:
The economic crisis in Europe revealed deep flaws in the EU's economic governance. Though European leaders took ambitious steps to strengthen these structures through the European Semester, the crisis has led some commentators to believe that the long term viability of the EU may hinge on completing a fiscal union in Europe. Prof. Fuest, a leading European expert on this topic, shared his views on the long term potential of a fiscal union in Europe and the potential implications for Member States.
