Evolution or revolution? How has the ‘reformed’ SGP changed economic governance within the EU?

Abstract

The aim of the panel is to assess whether the 2024 reforms to the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) are a continuation of the previous reforms to the SGP that were implemented during the period between 2011-2013. In doing so the aim is examine whether the 2024 reforms embedded lessons learned from 2011-2013 SGP and / or the implementation of RRF, if the roles of the European Commission and the Council of the EU have changed within the EU’s economic governance framework post the 2024 reforms, and assess the influence of member states in shaping the outcome of the negotiations on the reforms to the Pact. Through this panel we seek to give space to discussion to a policy area that has been somewhat overshadowed by other crises which the Union has faced since the md-2010s.
