Europe Under Attack

Andrew Hunter and Kamil Kovar, both Senior EMEA Economists at Moody’s Analytics, join Gaurav Ganguly as The Global Economy Unwrapped moves its focus to Europe. The team fact-check two of the U.S.’s key complaints: the EU’s trade position with the U.S. and Europe’s low defense spending. They conclude that the complaints are largely unreasonable on both fronts, but this does not mean that the EU will get off lightly. Kamil explains that the EU could easily provide the funds to support the war effort in Ukraine, while Andrew and Gaurav debate whether another crisis would be good for the EU.
