EME Macro/Strategy: German Supreme Court ruling – economists meet reality

Our take on the German Supreme Court ruling, delivered yesterday (5 May), is that, fundamentally, this is a big nudge towards the necessary ideological leap that the EU must take to survive. It also heralds the beginning of a multi-year process that will likely end in profound regulatory changes in response to this financial crisis. It will not stop the QE programme by the ECB any time soon, but it could have important implications for the funding strategies of treasuries around the Eurozone from this year already. We reiterate that we believe the consensus expectations are, on average, too optimistic about the economic outlook, especially with regards to the recovery in 2021E. We believe that this will become evident once we are past the peak of the unemployment rate, which should take place in June-July.
