CPB Lecture 2023 "Redesigning EU fiscal rules: how to account for climate action?"
The discussion about European fiscal rules has heated up again. It is clear that the current rules system is no longer adequate. But what is the alternative? And how can we ensure that within the alternative system necessary “green investments” will take place? Jeromin Zettelmeyer, director of Bruegel, an European think-tank shared his ideas with us at the annual CPB Lecture on November 16 in the Glazen Zaal in The Hague.
