In these difficult times, we, the lucky people of Western world, should not turn our shoulders to the poorest countries. As Stigilitz said: “in the world's advanced economies, compassion should be sufficient motivation to support a multilateral response. But global action is also a matter of self-interest. As long as the pandemic is still raging anywhere, it will pose a threat - both epidemiological and economic - everywhere ". In principle, many of you may agree on this. But how can we find the resources to support the poorest countries (in a context in which the richest countries are in troubles too)? There is a tool, within the IMF, that has not been accurately considered so far, the "Special Drawing RIghts" (SDRs). Please find here the article that I published on "The Georgetown Journal of International Law", in which I propose an innovative measure to tackle the Covid-19 economic crisis, through the use of SDRs.

Report given during the conference on "Can an unstable Europe face the challenge of solidarity?". The conference focused on issues such as the Euro and the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the Save States Fund, quantitative easing, as well as the new tools "put in place" to face the crisis caused by the spread Covid 19 (in particular, Recovery Fund).

"It is up to ... the President of the Council of Ministers to identify the necessary measures to counter the spread of the COVID-19 virus, while the Regions are only allowed to intervene within the limits outlined by art. 3, paragraph 1 of the decree 19 of 2020, which however in the present case it is undisputed that they are not integrated ".

Letter that Commissioners Gentiloni and Dombrovskis sent to the Eurogroup. The letter confirms that it will be possible to request assistance from #MES without undergoing "strict conditionality". The only conditionality will consist in the commitment to use the funds for healthcare expenses. The text confirms that a macroeconomic adjustment plan will not be signed.
