In his January column, Senior Resident Fellow Nicolas Véron examines the European Union's performance in reacting to the global economic crisis. He explains that while the EU has had major difficulties in the wake of the crisis, there have been several positives: the European Central Bank has been seen as a key player and has restored stability to the markets; the EU is creating the world's first supranational financial authorities; and the euro has withstood prophecies of its inevitable break-up. Véron adds, however, that the biggest challenges still lie ahead.
