EU Recovery Fund <\/strong><\/h4>\n

After a standoff between the EU and Germany, following a critical ruling on ECB\u2019s quantitative easing program by Germany\u2019s constitutional court, the gradual reopening of economies of member states within the Eurozone has brought some optimism.<\/p>\n

The downside risks for the Eurozone and its shared currency have somewhat eased on the fact that Europe, which was the epicentre of COVID-19 after China, might have gone through the worst phase of the pandemic. The sentiment for the Euro was also buoyed by the EU Recovery fund proposed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron to help Europe\u2019s mostly hit countries.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the optimism over the coronavirus fund proposal, which aims to show unity in overcoming the crisis and to achieve quicker economic recovery, was short-lived.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s Frugal Four<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Amid an unprecedented crisis, the Franco-German proposal was to provide support and reinforce EU financial relations and show that Europe is standing together. Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, dumbed as the \u201cfrugal four<\/strong>\u201d put forward a counter-proposal that highlights the diversion of opinions in helping the Southern members states.<\/p>\n

Grants or Loans<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Franco-German proposal is about \u201covercoming the crisis united and emerging from it stronger<\/em>\u201d. Both leaders proposed to make outright grants <\/strong>to help countries in need. They want to launch a temporary fund of 500 billion euro for EU budget expenditure:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would not provide loans, but rather budget funding for the sectors and regions hit hardest by the crisis. We firmly believe that it is both justified and necessary to now provide funding for this from the European side that we will gradually deploy across several European budgets in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In contrast, the frugal four wishes to provide loans <\/strong>rather than grants to southern European countries and expect the recipients of loans to comply with the fundamental principles of the EU and commit to strong reforms in repaying the loans. Their two-year and \u201cone-off\u201d proposal appears to also outline how those countries should use the funds and target sectors that are mostly hit based on an assessment.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus pandemic is testing the solidarity of European members and is threatening to reawaken a euro crisis. Southern countries like Greece, Italy and Spain lacked the fiscal space they need to put forward an economic stimulus package to support their economies, compared to Northern countries.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disparity? Compromise?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Both proposals are saying \u201cyes<\/strong>\u201d to emergency aids to assist with recovery, but the disparity lies on how the funds will be financed to respond to the economic wreckage. The size of the emergency fund, the conditions of the funds or whether it will be grants or loans will be a compromise the markets are expecting to see. However, the type of compromise might be a key factor in determining the relationships of EU members.<\/p>\n

Unprecedented times probably need unprecedented Unity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Euro \u2013 The Shared Currency<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The fact that Europe may have gone through the worst phase of the coronavirus has somewhat eased the downside risks of the shared currency. But the current geopolitical tensions with China and uncertainties on the EU Recovery plan are putting a lid on the upside momentum of the Euro.<\/p>\n

After the sharp plunge in March, the EURUSD pair has been trading within the 1.08 to 1.09 range. Yesterday, the better-than-expected IFO Surveys in Germany has helped the pair to hold ground and hover around the 1.09 level. The recovery plan could mitigate the selling pressure and allow a probable move above 1.10 level if there is a compromise that satisfies the frugal four.<\/p>\n

The immediate attention turns to the European Commission which is supposed to unveil a draft recovery plan on May 27th<\/sup>, 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n
