Abstract: Euro area countries suspended the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) of the Stability and Growth Pact in November 2003. Surprisingly perhaps, long-term European government bond-holders did not react: yields barely moved. Owing to its political nature, the EDP does not matter for investors. What matters is the implicit economic pact that investors have made with Member State governments. |
