Why it is crucial to restore capital mobility between euro-zone countries
Capital mobility between euro-zone countries has practically disappeared since 2010. However, it is crucial to restore it: To ensure that eu ro-zone savings can finance efficient investments wherever they may be; To ensure that savers in the euro zone have diversified asset portfolios, which would insure them against specific shocks to their countries; To integrate euro-zone capital markets, a prerequisite for the euro to become a real international reserve currency. The following would be needed to restore capital mobility in the euro zone: Confidence in borrower s’ solvency (governments, banks) must be restored ; Public investment funds with indisputable governance (such as the Juncker plan) must be developed; Synthetic euro-zone bonds (synthetic eurobonds) that financial intermediaries would have to hold must be created.
