A Euro for Growth and Convergence

This Tribune transposes the speech delivered by the Minister of Finance of Portugal, Mário Centeno, on the occasion of the high-level debate organised on the 22nd of February 2017 by the Jacques Delors Institute and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, about the report “Repair and prepare: growth and the euro after Brexit” published by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Jacques Delors Institute and the Jacques Delors Institute – Berlin.

Considering that the euro is vulnerable, Mário Centeno calls for a stronger Economic and Monetary Union that would have growth and convergence as ultimate goal.
