At this event, the speakers will discuss emerging risks to financial stability in the euro area, drawing on a newly prepared ESM report. The analysis looks at macro-financial risks to the region focusing on how they affect governments, especially their borrowing conditions and public finances. It combines an overview of the main risks across markets and sectors with a deeper analysis: this year examining the macro and fiscal implications of rising military spending.
