LESSONS ARE
1. Currency zones don’t solve the problem of International (or Regional) payments imbalances.
2. The “structuralists” got it wrong, the “economists” got it right
3. There is no French-German Compromise on Policy Convergence
4. Increased Competition reduces inflation, but does not guarantee Growth Convergence.

The creation of the European Central Bank as the issuer of the common EU currency meant that the
zero-risk sovereign debts of Euro zone governments where no longer fully sovereign in the sense that they could always be redeemed by the issue of additional
debt or national currency. With the advent of the Euro, the debt of national governments became the
equivalent of private debt.

INTEREST RATE CONVERGENCE
![Page 10: GREECE CRISIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083021/58a5c1771a28ab0b068b6595/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
On entry into the Euro a high debt economy such as Italy should have had a fiscal surplus higher than a low debt country to achieve an equivalent credit
rating. However, the common interest rate set by the ECB, and the failure of financial markets to price
government debt according to sustainability meant that highly indebted countries saw their debt service decline, and thus reduce the necessity to run higher
surpluses. Indeed, pre-Euro introduction market speculation to profit from the capital gains on high
coupon debt that was expected to occur with interest rate convergence produced that result.
