Next Generation EU debt: how is it structured?

The impact of EU debt on the EU market of safe assets.

Date: October 22, 2020, 2:00 pm Topic: Macroeconomic policy

At this event we will look at how the EU debt that will be issued will affect the EU market of safe assets as well as how the EU bond itself will be structured and rated. An additional concern is that the green bonds’ target of 30% would fragment the EU bond market.

During this event Gert-Jan Koopman, Director General of DG BUDGET will engange with a selected audience of Bruegel members and selected experts.

This is an invitation only event for Bruegel members and selected invitees.
