The Commission has today published the findings of the in-depth reviews carried out into 13 Member States identified in last November’s Alert Mechanism Report as showing signs of macroeconomic imbalances.
|
La Commissione ha pubblicato oggi i risultati degli esami approfonditi effettuati per i 13 Stati membri che, secondo la relazione sul meccanismo di allerta del novembre scorso, presentavano segni di squilibri macroeconomici.

“Our transformed economic governance enables us to address macroeconomic imbalances pre-emptively and to create the foundations for sustainable growth,” said Olli Rehn, Commission Vice-President for Economic and Monetary Affairs and the Euro.
|
“Grazie alla trasformazione della nostra governance economica possiamo affrontare gli squilibri macroeconomici in via preventiva e creare le basi per una crescita sostenibile” ha dichiarato Olli Rehn, Vicepresidente e Commissario per gli Affari economici e monetari e l'euro.
|
4 |
“Decisive policy action by Member States and at EU-level is helping to rebalance the European economy.
|
“La decisa azione intrapresa a livello di politiche sia da parte degli Stati membri che dell'UE sta favorendo un riequilibro dell'economia europea.
|
5 |
But significant challenges remain: it will take some time yet to complete the unwinding of the imbalances that were able to grow unchecked in the decade up to the crisis, and which continue to take a toll on our economies.”
|
Restano tuttavia importanti sfide da affrontare: occorrerà ancora tempo per completare la correzione degli squilibri che hanno potuto crescere senza controllo nel decennio precedente alla crisi e che continuano a pesare sulle nostre economie”.
|
6 |
The in-depth reviews have found that the macroeconomic adjustment in Europe is proceeding, though with differences in nature and pace among Member States.
|
Gli esami approfonditi hanno constatato il procedere dell’aggiustamento macroeconomico in Europa, anche se carattere e velocità di tale aggiustamento variano ancora tra uno Stato membro e l'altro.
|
7 |
The reviews point to reductions in current account deficits, convergence in unit labour costs, corrections in excessive housing prices and reductions in private sector indebtedness.
|
Gli esami rilevano cali dei disavanzi delle partite correnti, una convergenza dei costi unitari del lavoro, correzioni dei prezzi eccessivi delle abitazioni e riduzioni dell'indebitamento del settore privato.
|
8 |
However, given different challenges and imbalances, cross-country growth differences are expected to persist in the coming years.
|
Tuttavia, viste la diversità delle sfide e degli squilibri nei vari paesi, le differenze in termini di crescita persisteranno probabilmente anche nei prossimi anni.
|
9 |
The weakness of economic activity and the fragile economic outlook in some cases may have aggravated both the risks and the cross-country spillovers related to macroeconomic imbalances.
|
La debolezza dell’attività economica e le prospettive economiche fragili in alcuni casi possono aver acuito sia i rischi che gli effetti di ricaduta transfrontalieri correlati agli squilibri macroeconomici.
|
10 |
Moreover, in most cases the adjustment is not yet complete.
|
Inoltre, nella maggior parte dei casi l’aggiustamento non è stato ancora completato.
|
11 |
Many EU economies continue to face significant challenges in the form of external liabilities, private sector indebtedness and ongoing adjustments in housing markets.
|
Molte economie dell’UE continuano a dover affrontare le grosse sfide rappresentate dall'indebitamento estero, dall’indebitamento del settore privato e dagli adeguamenti in corso sui mercati dell'edilizia abitativa.
|
12 |
Overcoming these challenges will impact the ability of the indebted economies to grow and compete, to ensure financial stability and, fundamentally, to reduce unemployment.
|
Il superamento di tali sfide avrà effetti sulla capacità delle economie indebitate di svilupparsi e di competere, di garantire la stabilità finanziaria e, sostanzialmente, di ridurre la disoccupazione.
|
13 |
The macroeconomic imbalances in several Member States need to be closely monitored.
|
È necessario monitorare con attenzione gli squilibri macroeconomici in diversi Stati membri.
|
14 |
They demand a decisive commitment to structural reform in order to ensure that they are unwound as smoothly as possible and that the conditions can be created for sustainable growth and job creation.
|
Si impone dunque un deciso impegno per le riforme strutturali in modo da garantire che tali squilibri vengano eliminati in modo ottimale e che possano essere create le condizioni per una crescita sostenibile e per la creazione di posti di lavoro.
|
15 |
The Commission also expects those eleven countries with imbalances that are not found to be excessive, namely Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Italy, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, to take the findings of the in-depth reviews into account in their National Reform Programmes and Stability and Convergence Programmes.
|
La Commissione si aspetta inoltre che gli undici paesi con squilibri non considerati eccessivi (Belgio, Bulgaria, Danimarca, Francia, Italia, Ungheria, Malta, Paesi Bassi, Finlandia, Svezia e Regno Unito) tengano conto dei risultati degli esami approfonditi nei loro programmi nazionali di riforma e nei loro programmi di stabilità e di convergenza.
|
16 |
For these countries, the Commission will put forward encompassing policy recommendations on 29 May for the correction of existing imbalances and the prevention of new ones.
|
Per questi paesi, la Commissione presenterà il 29 maggio raccomandazioni strategiche di ampia portata per la prevenzione di nuovi squilibri e la correzione di quelli esistenti.
|
17 |
In two Member States, Spain and Slovenia, imbalances can be considered excessive.
|
In due Stati membri (Spagna e Slovenia) gli squilibri possono essere considerati eccessivi.
|
18 |
In Spain, the very high domestic and external debt levels continue to pose serious risks for growth and financial stability.
|
In Spagna gli elevati livelli del debito interno e del debito estero continuano a rappresentare un grave rischio per la crescita e la stabilità finanziaria.
|
19 |
In Slovenia, the risks for financial sector stability stemming from corporate indebtedness and deleveraging are substantial, including through inter-linkages with public finances.
|
In Slovenia vi sono considerevoli rischi per la stabilità del settore finanziario dovuti all'indebitamento delle imprese e alla riduzione della leva finanziaria, anche a causa delle interconnessioni con le finanze pubbliche.
|
20 |
The adequacy of their policy responses will be assessed in time for the conclusion of this year’s European Semester of economic policy coordination, in the context of which country-specific recommendations will be adopted on 29 May.
|
L'adeguatezza delle risposte date in termini di politiche da questi due paesi sarà valutata in tempo utile per la conclusione del semestre europeo di coordinamento delle politiche economiche di quest’anno. Il 29 maggio verranno adottate in tale contesto raccomandazioni specifiche per paese.
|
21 |
For Cyprus, which was also selected for an in-depth review in the Alert Mechanism Report, no in-depth review is published.
|
Secondo la relazione sul meccanismo di allerta anche Cipro doveva essere sottoposta ad un esame approfondito che non viene tuttavia pubblicato.
|
22 |
This is a consequence of the political agreement reached between the Eurogroup and the Cypriot authorities on the key elements of a macroeconomic adjustment programme and official financing.
|
Ciò è la conseguenza dell’accordo politico raggiunto tra l’Eurogruppo e le autorità cipriote sugli elementi fondamentali di un programma di aggiustamento macroeconomico e di finanziamento ufficiale.
|
23 |
Programme countries are not covered by the Macroeconomic Imbalances Procedure, as they are already under enhanced economic surveillance as part of their economic adjustment programmes.
|
Ai paesi tenuti al rispetto di un programma di aggiustamento non si applica la procedura per gli squilibri macroeconomici, in quanto sono già sottoposti ad una sorveglianza economica rafforzata nell’ambito di tale programma.

LISTEN WITH READSPEAKER
Commission concludes in-depth reviews of macroeconomic imbalances in 13
Member States
The Commission has today published the findings of the in-depth reviews
carried out into 13 Member States identified in last November’s Alert Mechanism
Report as showing signs of macroeconomic imbalances.
“Our transformed economic governance enables us to address
macroeconomic imbalances pre-emptively and to create the foundations for
sustainable growth,” said Olli Rehn, Commission Vice-President for Economic and
Monetary Affairs and the Euro.
“Decisive policy action by Member States and at EU-level is helping to
rebalance the European economy.
But significant challenges remain: it will take some time yet to
complete the unwinding of the imbalances that were able to grow unchecked in the
decade up to the crisis, and which continue to take a toll on our economies.”
The in-depth reviews have found that the macroeconomic adjustment in
Europe is proceeding, though with differences in nature and pace among Member
States.
The reviews point to reductions in current account deficits,
convergence in unit labour costs, corrections in excessive housing prices and
reductions in private sector indebtedness.
However, given different challenges and imbalances, cross-country
growth differences are expected to persist in the coming years.
The weakness of economic activity and the fragile economic outlook in
some cases may have aggravated both the risks and the cross-country spillovers
related to macroeconomic imbalances.
Moreover, in most cases the adjustment is not yet complete.
Many EU economies continue to face significant challenges in the form
of external liabilities, private sector indebtedness and ongoing adjustments in
housing markets.
Overcoming these challenges will impact the ability of the indebted
economies to grow and compete, to ensure financial stability and, fundamentally,
to reduce unemployment.
The macroeconomic imbalances in several Member States need to be
closely monitored.
They demand a decisive commitment to structural reform in order to
ensure that they are unwound as smoothly as possible and that the conditions can
be created for sustainable growth and job creation.
The Commission also expects those eleven countries with imbalances that
are not found to be excessive, namely Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Italy,
Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, to take
the findings of the in-depth reviews into account in their National Reform
Programmes and Stability and Convergence Programmes.
For these countries, the Commission will put forward encompassing
policy recommendations on 29 May for the correction of existing imbalances and
the prevention of new ones.
In two Member States, Spain and Slovenia, imbalances can be considered
excessive.
In Spain, the very high domestic and external debt levels continue to
pose serious risks for growth and financial stability.
In Slovenia, the risks for financial sector stability stemming from
corporate indebtedness and deleveraging are substantial, including through
inter-linkages with public finances.
The adequacy of their policy responses will be assessed in time for the
conclusion of this year’s European Semester of economic policy coordination, in
the context of which country-specific recommendations will be adopted on 29 May.
For Cyprus, which was also selected for an in-depth review in the Alert
Mechanism Report, no in-depth review is published.
This is a consequence of the political agreement reached between the
Eurogroup and the Cypriot authorities on the key elements of a macroeconomic
adjustment programme and official financing.
Programme countries are not covered by the Macroeconomic Imbalances
Procedure, as they are already under enhanced economic surveillance as part of
their economic adjustment programmes.
