Today: Steht uns die nächste Eurokrise bevor? Mit 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.
The Euro has fallen to its lowest level in 17 months this week, with the exchange rate to the dollar reaching its lowest point at 1.116 on Monday. This marked the currency's weakest state since May 2025. The trigger for concern is the worry over the fiscal health of France. French government bond yields had already surged in recent weeks, leading to increased uncertainty in the markets.
Is the next Euro crisis possibly upon us? Are investors testing the European Central Bank to see if they will use their newly created tools for the first time to rescue highly indebted states? Economist Volker Wieland, a senior professor for monetary economics and executive director of the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability at the Goethe University Frankfurt, provides context on the situation.
