Many voices, in and out of the EU, are calling for a change of the Economic Governance of the EU. Among them, the European Fiscal Board (EFB) is pleading in favor of a modification of the fiscal rules of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), assessed to be too complex and poorly adapted to national contexts and specificities. Besides, the IMF, the World Bank, and the European Central Bank also consider that it is necessary to revise the SGP’s framework once again, despite prior revisions in 2005, 2011, 2012, and 2015.
