Results of finance ministers' meeting

The eurozone finance ministers' meeting yesterday failed to reap the benefits and find agreed ways to finance the Covid-19 crisis in the region, particularly among the most affected countries.

On the other hand, the sticking point seems to be the issuance of eurozone debt instruments among the eurozone countries to finance spending associated with the confronting the Corona virus, which has been called "Corona bonds".

The idea was supported by France, Italy and Spain, while Germany, the Netherlands and Finland reject it.

It is also noted that if finance ministers cannot reach a decision, they are likely to refer it to their heads of state who are supposed to hold a meeting tomorrow, but it is also likely that the negotiations of the finance ministers will continue before resorting to this step.
