European Stability Mechanism

Tomi Tuominen

Chapter 5 in Research Handbook on Post-Pandemic EU Economic Governance and NGEU Law, 2024, pp 65-79 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter analyses the role of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) during and after the Covid-19 crisis as well as in relation to funding the war in Ukraine. Specifically, the chapter discusses the Pandemic Crisis Support Facility, an assistance instrument adopted within the ESM that was never used. The new facility is analysed especially in light of the no bail-out clause of Article 125 TFEU. Furthermore, the failed attempt to amend the ESM Treaty, which would have made the ESM the common backstop of the Single Resolution Fund of the Banking Union, is also discussed. It is argued that the ESM has only had a minor side role in the critical policy juncture presented by the pandemic, while funding the war in Ukraine might bring about a new role for the ESM.
