The Day After NextGenerationEU: What Could the EU Do?
分析了下一代欧盟计划中复苏与韧性基金的成功与不足,提出未来欧盟金融工具的三项补充方案及其资金来源,帮助政策制定者思考后疫情时代的欧盟财政设计。
Abstract NextGenerationEU (NGEU) constitutes an unprecedented EU response, but it is expected to end in 2026, as it has been conceived as a one‐off programme to counter the effects of the Covid‐19 pandemic. Yet, new challenges are emerging, and the EU needs to adapt accordingly. This article analyses the features of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the main component of NGEU, exploring the most successful elements, as well as those where there is margin for improvement. It then presents the lessons learnt and principles any new EU financial facility should be based on to be potentially successful and, on that basis, elaborates on three complementary proposals of EU instruments. It finally suggests funding sources for these proposals.
