The EU’s €750 billion recovery fund will not be enough to achieve anything close to a convergence...

between southern and northern member states; indeed, it will not even be enough to prevent them from drifting further apart. 

Since the EU’s poorer member states are already over-indebted, they cannot borrow much more, particularly if interest rates rise. 

Whenever inflation begins to increase again, the European Central Bank’s implicit policy of monetizing member-state debt (through the unlimited purchase of government bonds from poorer countries) will have to end.

Under these conditions, the only remaining way out would be a “transfer union"
