Towards a conflict to attract savings between the United States and the euro zone?

S low ing growth could lead in 2020 to: An even more expansionary fiscal policy in the United States; An even more expansionary fiscal policy in the euro zone, stemming in particular from Germany. Yet it is the euro zone’s savings surplus that largely finances the United States’ fiscal deficit (and external deficit ). If the euro zone’s savings surplus is absorbed by an increase in its own fiscal deficit, there will be a conflict to attract savings between the United States and the euro zone, which may drive up long-term interest rates in both countries.
