Concise summary

edit

I tried to concisely summarize the Eurozone crisis in the 'Causes' section and in the lead. I relied primarily on two overview articles published in top political science journals. It might be possible to summarize the causes more concisely. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:29, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Capital controls

edit

"Either way, many of the countries involved in the crisis are on the euro, so devaluation, individual interest rates, and capital controls are not available." Sorry, I don't have time to take this further but capital controls were implemented in Cyprus and Greece (braking the European Commission's policy of free movement of capital). See Diary of the Euro Crisis in Cyprus: Lessons for Bank Recovery and Resolution by Panicos Demetriades. It will be a big issue for the EU in dealing with the even higher debt disparities post Covid. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 09:52, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

End of the crisis?

edit

The lede is still written as if this was ongoing, but everything appears to have been "back to normal" by 2015. If there's insufficient references for an exact end, it could at least be changed to "was a multi-year debt crisis that took place in the European Union (EU) from the end of 2009".

Merge from Controversies surrounding the eurozone crisis

edit

The article Controversies surrounding the eurozone crisis is a confused mix of recap of this entire article that's 10 years out of date (lead sentence talks about an "ongoing" crisis) and a stale, forked copy of its Controversies section. I don't think this serves any useful purpose and it should either be given a very thorough update, or just merged back in. Jpatokal (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
