Here is a link to an Economist article which discusses recent developments in the European Debt Crisis. Specifically, the article focuses on the ongoing issues in Greece regarding austerity measures. It notes that while changes have been relatively successful in countries such as Spain, Italy, and Ireland, further crisis in Greece could lead to broader failure of countries in the Euro. Additionally, the article looks at the impact of populist politics which have and are actively threatening to undermine progress.

Hello delegates!

The European Central Bank seems to have made a major shift in policy this past December when it lent large amounts of money unconditionally to several European Banks. These efforts were very similar to the American Federal Reserve's policy implementations in 2008 that have been roundly criticized by European economists and central bankers. The New York Times does an excellent job covering this topic in detail in the article below. As always, feel free to contact us if you have a questions or concerns!
