The 2024 reform of the EU fiscal framework makes fiscal adjustment more country-specific and less procyclical. However, it does not eliminate two fundamental tail risks: following a large recession, too little fiscal flexibility can generate deflationary stagnation, while too much can undermine confidence in national debt stabilisation and generate stagflation.

Under this proposal, stabilisation of exceptional common shocks is shifted to the euro-area level while responsibility for national debt remains firmly national.

Households that use official reports, newspapers, and television for information make smaller errors. Crucially, distrust of governments and central banks helps explain why more representative aggregate information is dismissed.
