Today: Steht uns die nächste Euro-Krise bevor? – Einordnung von Ökonom Volker Wieland
Der Euro sackte zuletzt auf den niedrigsten Stand seit Mai 2025 ab. Erneut gelten die Staatsschulden als Auslöser. Wie ernst die Lage ist, ordnet der Ökonom Volker Wieland ein.
In recent weeks, the euro has reached its lowest point in 17 months, hitting the lowest exchange rate against the dollar at 1.116 on Monday. This level was last seen in May 2025. The root cause of this decline is growing concerns over the fiscal health of France, which has been driving up yields for French government bonds over the past few weeks. Uncertainty now pervades the markets, as investors question whether the European Central Bank will use its newly created tools to rescue debt-ridden states for the first time.
Economist Volker Wieland, professor of monetary economics at the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability at Goethe University Frankfurt, provides context for the current situation. The full story can be found in the article "Euro sackt ab – Sorgen über Staatsschuldenkrise werden größer" and the live stream of the Germany summit moderated by Nele Dohmen and produced by Lukas Teppler.
