Abstract

The Maastricht Treaty imposes a debt limit of 60 per cent of GDP and a deficit ceiling of 3 per cent of GDP for countries participating in Stage 3 of European Monetary Union (EMU). The Stability and Growth Pact goes further and specifies the circumstances under which a deficit can be regarded as excessive, speeds up the procedure and defines the sanctions in the event of excessive deficits.
