EU adopts reformed economic-governance fiscal rules in April 2024
On 29 April 2024 the Council of the EU adopted a reform of the bloc's economic-governance framework, overhauling the Stability and Growth Pact for the first time since the post-crisis era. Proposed by the European Commission (with Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis and Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni) and agreed with Parliament in February 2024, the new rules tie debt-reduction paths to country-specific multi-year plans while aiming to protect public investment. The framework entered into force on 30 April 2024 and reshapes how member states must manage deficits and debt.
