It's happening: very lively @dezernatzukunft.bsky.social EMPN panel lays out the feasibility and immense EU and global benefits of euro internationalisation - @maxkrahe.bsky.social @shahinvallee.bsky.social @apsmolenska.bsky.social and Eric Monnet
1/ 🧵 Is this Europe’s “global euro moment”?
With the US dollar’s dominance wobbling, could the euro step onto the global stage?
And if so: → What would it take? → What are the trade-offs? → Are EU institutions ready?
A timely debate coming up 👇
As geopolitics gets (regrettably) hotter and hotter, what is the currency side of it all? Should we seek a more intl €? If so, how?
Come discuss these questions in Brussels, 24.6., 13h30-15h00, with @shahinvallee.bsky.social, Eric Monnet & Agnieszka Smolenska!

Registration: www.eventbrite.com/e/a-stronger...
6/ 🎙️ Join us for a sharp debate:
A Stronger Euro for a Stronger Europe? Opportunities, trade-offs & strategic choices for Europe’s currency
With EMPN/DZ fellows: @shahinvallee.bsky.social,
Agnieszka Smoleńska (CETEx LSE) & Eris Monnet ( @ehess.fr)
5/ The core questions:
→ Should the EU actively back euro’s global expansion?
→ If so, what reforms are essential first — a permanent EU safe asset, capital markets union, banking union?
→ Can Europe bridge political divides and build the trust needed to take these steps?
4/ Is Europe institutionally sound enough for a global currency?
→ No eurozone safe asset (NGEU bonds exist, but are limited and temporary).
→ No common fiscal capacity to stabilise in a crisis.
→ Capital markets remain fragmented. → No unified external voice in global fora.
3/ The risks:
→ Price-sensitive exports could suffer, though premium segments may be insulated → External financial shocks could bite harder → Large foreign reserve holders may gain leverage over EU policy
A global currency role is not just a privilege — it changes the game.
2/ A stronger euro could lower financing costs for EU companies & governments — helping fund the massive investments Europe needs for sustainability, security, and sovereignty.
It could also strengthen Europe’s financial & geopolitical autonomy.
But at what cost? ⚖️
