Why
The EU aims to avoid becoming a second-tier economy and protect its wealth and influence as the global order disintegrates and China expands its market presence.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
If successful, these reforms could nearly double Europe's expected growth rate to 2% and potentially close the economic gap with the US, maintaining Europe's position as an economic and geopolitical power. Failure could lead to the EU falling €7 trillion behind US output by 2040.
