Main results of the Informal ECOFIN
At the informal ECOFIN meeting which took place in Brussels on 30 September and 1 October, EU finance ministers had fruitful exchanges and discussions on a number of topics: EU economic governance and structural reforms, economic perspective and financial markets outlook and financial sector regulation.
These were the main points on the agenda:
- EU economic governance and structural reforms: the right mix between fiscal stability, reinforced macroeconomic surveillance and support to growth-enhancing reforms
- Economic perspectives and financial markets outlook: the uncertainty is still prevailing in terms of growth scenario and financial sector outlook, despite positive signs of economic recovery in the EU
- Regulation of the financial sector: how to achieve responsible and growth-enhancing behaviour of the financial sector… combined with a move in the direction of a more accountable financial sector.
