Euro crisis update: the bare essentials<br />

“Sleepwalking into the abyss”. The British media have missed no<br />

opportunities in the last six months to predict imminent disaster for the<br />

Eurozone. Instead, the crisis has faded as fast as optimists like us had<br />

hoped. How come?<br />

Simple mistake: In analysing the euro crisis, many observers make a<br />

simple mistake: they confuse their dreams for a perfect world with reality.<br />

The world does not have to be perfect to work: Reality never lives up<br />

to textbook ideals, <strong>and</strong> it does not have to. For example, an immediate<br />

<strong>full</strong>-scale banking union would be most useful to defuse the credit crunch<br />

for small <strong>and</strong> medium-sized enterprises in the euro periphery. But it is not<br />

essential for the euro crisis to fade. Credit constraints slow the pace of<br />

recovery. But they do not prevent recovery.<br />

Stripping it to the bare essentials, the Eurozone needs four<br />

ingredients for its crisis to fade. All four are in place.<br />

1. A reliable mechanism to contain contagion: The problems of<br />

small countries must not endanger the region as a whole. The ECB’s<br />

OMT safety net sees to that.<br />

2. The right incentives so that small countries like Greece fix their big<br />

underlying problems. Berlin’s tough-love approach of conditional<br />

credits for compliant countries provides exactly these incentives.<br />

3. The political will to stick to the gr<strong>and</strong> bargain: The strong help<br />

the weak while the weak accept the strings attached. Germany is<br />

solidly pro-euro <strong>and</strong> all peripheral countries are striving to meet the<br />

conditions.<br />

4. Some growth in key export markets: Good news from Germany,<br />

the US, UK, China <strong>and</strong> Switzerl<strong>and</strong> is more than offsetting the<br />

wobbles in some emerging markets for euro periphery exports.<br />

The tail risks have receded. But they still exist. Our top two risks:<br />

Italian politics: If Berlusconi’s legal troubles were to bring down the<br />

Letta government, new elections could trigger a bout of uncertainty.<br />

But the real danger, the Grillo challenge, has receded.<br />

German court: If the court weakens the ECB’s OMT safety net too<br />

much, investors might panic again. Unlikely but not impossible. If the<br />

risk materialised, the ECB could resort to massive quantitative easing.<br />

On balance, we maintain our cautious optimism: The Eurozone is<br />

on the right track. The path will not always be smooth. That’s life.<br />

Economics<br />

Confusing dreams <strong>and</strong> reality<br />

“Sleepwalking into the abyss” or “the euro crisis is back”. For the last six months,<br />

British media including The Economist have missed no opportunity to predict<br />

imminent disaster for the Eurozone. So far, however, the crisis monster has failed to<br />

rear its head again. With a gradual fading of market tensions, the Eurozone economy<br />

has started to recover. How come?<br />

In analysing the euro crisis, many observers make a simple mistake: they conflate<br />

their dreams for a perfect world with reality.<br />

The world does not have to be perfect in order to work. For example, Germany<br />

would arguably be much better off if it had a simple flat tax <strong>and</strong> a deregulated labour<br />

market. But in real life, a ridiculously complex tax system <strong>and</strong> an overregulated labour<br />

market have not prevented Germany from turning itself into the economic<br />

powerhouse of Europe. In the same vein, most Britons would live a more<br />

comfortable life if the country had a properly functioning housing market. But in real<br />

life, Britain’s absurd restrictions on the supply of new houses are not preventing the<br />

country from enjoying a credit-fuelled economic upturn.<br />

The same logic holds for the euro crisis. Many observers believe that the region<br />

needs <strong>full</strong> political union, <strong>full</strong> fiscal union, an immediate banking union <strong>and</strong> a <strong>full</strong><br />

German/ECB guarantee for sovereign debt or the realisation of some other<br />

pipedream to get out of its crisis. Some of the arguments such observers make are<br />

not wrong. Yes, some kinds of financial tensions could be contained more reliably by<br />

a <strong>full</strong>-scale mutualisation of public debt or other variants of fiscal or even political<br />

union. And yes, an immediate banking union or any other way to end the credit<br />

crunch for small <strong>and</strong> medium-sized enterprises in parts of the euro periphery in one<br />

fell swoop might be quite helpful. But discussing what may or may not be desirable is<br />

very different from analysing what is strictly necessary for the euro crisis to fade.<br />

Sleepwalking into the<br />

abyss? Not really<br />

You don’t have to be<br />

perfect to get some growth<br />

Desirable does not equal<br />

essential<br />

The bare essentials<br />

Stripping it down to the bare essentials, the Eurozone needs four ingredients<br />

for its crisis to fade. All four are in place.<br />

1. A reliable mechanism to contain contagion: The problems of small countries<br />

must not endanger the region as a whole. Since Draghi’s announcement on 26<br />

July 2012 that the second most powerful economic institution in the world, the<br />

European Central <strong>Bank</strong>, would not commit suicide but would instead do all it<br />

takes to preserve the euro <strong>and</strong> its own existence, this ingredient is present.<br />

2. The right incentives so that countries like Greece fix their underlying<br />

problems. With the tough-love approach pursued by Germany <strong>and</strong> the ECB, this<br />

ingredient is there as well: Europe helps nations such as Greece or Irel<strong>and</strong> with<br />

serious amounts of money if the recipients submit to harsh reform conditions. 1<br />

Despite occasional hiccups, the reform process is well entrenched <strong>and</strong> well<br />

advanced. 2<br />

3. The political will to stick to the gr<strong>and</strong> bargain: The strong help the weak<br />

while the weak accept the strings attached. All German mainstream political<br />

parties back Chancellor Merkel’s euro policies. No realistic result of the German<br />

election on 22 September 2013 could lead to Germany turning its back on its<br />

European partners. 3 At the periphery, the will to do what it takes to stay part of<br />

the euro family has survived numerous challenges including elections <strong>and</strong><br />

changes in government in Greece, Irel<strong>and</strong>, Portugal, Italy <strong>and</strong> Spain.<br />

4. Some growth in key export markets: To export their way out of their<br />

domestic adjustment recessions, the euro peripheral countries need some<br />

increase in global dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> in core European domestic dem<strong>and</strong>. So far,<br />

external dem<strong>and</strong> has proved suitably resilient. For the euro periphery, good news<br />

from Germany, the US, UK, China <strong>and</strong> Switzerl<strong>and</strong> is more than offsetting the<br />

wobbles in a number of emerging markets.<br />

Of course, past performance provides no guarantees for the future. But it does hold<br />

lessons. Eurosceptics <strong>and</strong> the readers of those British media who know very little<br />

about what is really happening on the continent underestimate at their own peril the<br />

capacity of the Eurozone to contain <strong>and</strong> overcome its crisis.<br />

The political will has<br />

survived various elections<br />

Key export markets are<br />

growing<br />

Risks are receding as economies turn the corner<br />

Serious risks remain, including the risks that (i) the German Constitutional Court<br />

could constrain the ECB’s OMT safety in a way that renders it ineffective or that (ii)<br />

potential new elections in Italy or Greece could sweep irresponsible mavericks like<br />

Beppe Grillo or Alexis Tsipras into power. But with the peripheral economies<br />

starting to stabilise <strong>and</strong> the rise in unemployment starting to fizzle out, the<br />

vulnerability of the Eurozone to contagion hazards <strong>and</strong> the political challenges in<br />

peripheral economies are now less serious than they used to be.<br />

It could still go wrong. But it would now take a bigger shock to trigger massive new<br />

tensions. Also, the probability that such a shock will occur has receded. In the next<br />

two sections, we take a closer look at the two major risks – the German<br />

Constitutional Court <strong>and</strong> Italian politics.<br />

Of course. Life is <strong>full</strong> of<br />

risks<br />

It would no take a bigger<br />

shock to trigger a new<br />

wave of crisis<br />

Risk 1: Italian politics<br />

In early 2013, Italian politics topped our list of what could still go wrong in the<br />

Eurozone. The risk receded when Italy’s President Napolitano (our favourite excommunist)<br />

forced Italy’s centre-left <strong>and</strong> centre-right into an uneasy coalition in early<br />

April after the inconclusive election of late February. The risk could flare up again if<br />

the centre-left votes to strip the centre-right leader, the convicted tax fraudster<br />

Berlusconi, of his Senate seat <strong>and</strong> the centre-right then withdraws from government.<br />

The Senate is scheduled to vote on 9 September, although the vote might still be<br />

delayed.<br />

New Italian elections would create new uncertainty. That would be awkward. But as<br />

we argued in March, the later such new elections come, the less disruptive they would<br />

Thank you, Mr President<br />

Less concerned than<br />

probably be. We are less concerned about political instability in Italy than we were in<br />

early 2013.<br />

before<br />

<br />

<br />

Logic suggests that Berlusconi, while playing hardball to get as much out of his<br />

centre-left coalition partner as possible, does not have an incentive to go for new<br />

elections. If he lost such elections, as he probably would, his chances of getting<br />

any kind of leniency or even pardon from a new Italian government <strong>and</strong>/or the<br />

Italian president would probably be zero. His best chance to stay out of jail, or at<br />

least avoid lengthy house arrest, would be to stay on speaking terms with<br />

President Napolitano <strong>and</strong> the centre-left rather than throwing the country into<br />

new turmoil in a rash response to losing his Senate seat.<br />

President Napolitano has shown a steely resolve to keep Italy out of trouble. If<br />

he feared that the uncertainty created by new elections could disrupt Italy’s<br />

economic healing process, he might just ask Prime Minister Letta to stay on as<br />

interim prime minister for an extended period until it were safe to call new<br />

elections or until a post-Berlusconi centre-right sorted itself out <strong>and</strong> joined the<br />

government again. In the meantime, a centre-left interim government would have<br />

a majority in Italy’s House of Representatives but not in the Senate. In such<br />

circumstances, Italy might not get much done. But neither would it provoke a<br />

disaster. After all, US President Obama <strong>and</strong> Germany’s Chancellor Merkel are in<br />

the same position: both lack a majority in their upper houses <strong>and</strong> cannot get<br />

major laws passed unless they strike specific deals with the opposition.<br />

Berlusconi: how best to<br />

stay out of jail?<br />

A caretaker government if<br />

need be?<br />

<br />

New elections in Italy in late 2013 or early 2014 would be much less of a risk<br />

than they would have been in May or June. Memories of the savage Monti tax<br />

hikes of 2012 are now less raw. Italian consumer confidence <strong>and</strong> other leading<br />

economic indicators have recovered. Beppo Grillo has shown himself to be a<br />

dictatorial leader of his “Five Star” movement, alienating some erstwhile<br />

supporters. Opinion polls (Chart 2) suggest that new elections would now be a<br />

straight race between the centre-left <strong>and</strong> centre-right with both sides, on balance,<br />

likely to pursue fairly sensible <strong>and</strong> pro-euro policies if they won.<br />

Risk 2: German court<br />

Some time after the German elections on 22 September 2013, the German<br />

Constitutional Court will probably give its verdict on the ECB’s OMT programme.<br />

Judging by the tone of the court hearings on 12 <strong>and</strong> 13 June 2013, the judges are no<br />

fans of the ECB promise to buy sovereign bonds of peripheral countries in the event<br />

of renewed market turmoil, to put it mildly. But Berlin sees the ECB’s safety net as<br />

essential to contain the euro crisis. The court has no tradition of contradicting Berlin<br />

on key issues of Germany foreign policy. And whatever their misgivings about the<br />

OMT, the judges probably have no desire to trigger grave financial turmoil.<br />

We thus expect the judges to say that the OMT is legal under the German<br />

constitution <strong>and</strong> the German interpretation of the Maastricht treaty if the OMT<br />

respects some constraints which the judges will outline.<br />

The genuine risk we see is that the judges, in trying to constrain the OMT, may do so<br />

in a way that renders it ineffective. In markets, perceptions matter even more than<br />

substance. And the judges are not financial experts. If markets conclude after the<br />

verdict that a constrained OMT is no longer a reliable shield against contagion risks,<br />

contagion might again spread like wildfire in the Eurozone, sending financial markets<br />

<strong>and</strong> leading economic indicators into a tailspin.<br />

We consider this unlikely. But we cannot rule it out. If the risk were to materialise,<br />

the ECB would need to find other ways to make good on its vow to do all it takes to<br />

preserve the euro. As a first reaction, the ECB would probably cut rates by 25bp <strong>and</strong><br />

remind markets that the bank has other powerful instruments including outright<br />

quantitative easing at its disposal. If that were not enough, the ECB would probably<br />

start a major programme of quantitative easing with outright purchases of sovereign<br />

bonds of all member countries above a certain ratings threshold. The threshold<br />

would likely be set to include Italian <strong>and</strong> Spanish bonds but not those of Greece or<br />

Portugal. Massive quantitative easing would probably calm markets again. The risk of<br />

renewed recession in the wake of escalating market turmoil would give the ECB the<br />

justification to act so decisively.<br />

It would be one of the ironies of history. If the German Constitutional Court rules<br />

against the ECB promise to buy sovereign bonds of some countries that meet certain<br />

conditions, the result could be massive <strong>and</strong> unconditional purchases of sovereign<br />

bonds of almost all Eurozone countries. That would be unfortunate. But it would not<br />

spell disaster.<br />

The judges have no<br />

tradition of upsetting<br />

Berlin on key issues of<br />

foreign policy<br />

Expect the judges to<br />

constrain the OMT<br />

But what if these<br />

constraints render the<br />

OMT ineffective?<br />

If worst came to worst, the<br />

ECB would not shy away<br />

from quantitative easing<br />

to end a market panic<br />

An irony of history?<br />

The end of the crisis? Not yet, but maybe soon<br />

At the start of 2013, we had a clear idea of what we wanted to do at the end of the<br />

year: we wanted to write a big <strong>report</strong> declaring the end of the euro crisis. As we<br />

discussed in March, the biggest risk to our plan remains that we may have missed the<br />

boat. Judging by the level of market tensions, the euro crisis was largely over by<br />

February 2013. But we first need to actually see the economic rebound in the euro<br />

periphery which leading indicators are now flagging, <strong>and</strong> we need to get beyond the<br />

German court verdict, before we can judge whether or not the crisis is over for good.<br />

Until then, we still face the risk that a new but probably less vicious wave of crisis<br />

could hit the Eurozone before we can sound the all-clear.<br />

A merry Christmas?<br />
