Abstract

The Eurozone crisis, that began in 2009, most badly affected the Southern Eurozone countries consisting of Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (GIIPS). A combination of extremely sluggish growth and harsh fiscal consolidation forced these economies to undergo a painful process of deleveraging to reduce their high public and private debts. Also, facing a rapidly ageing population that is likely to add to greater stress to their future fiscal burdens, there is a growing need for these countries to undertake painful structural reforms (“internal devaluation”) to restore their lost competitiveness and get back on a fiscally sustainable growth path.
