a Alemanha beneficiou com o Euro

Germany has benefitted more than any other country in the Eurozone since the launch of the Euro in 2002, according to the latest Bruges Group research.
The Euro has effectively become a German currency empire which is draining the resources of the Eurozone’s smaller economies. The harm that German policy is causing is so severe that the Mediterranean-Rim countries are caught in a debt trap where their economies are suffering, they are incurring debt and must then impose austerity measures which further weaken their economies. Yet their economies will not grow so long as the Euro helps German manufacturers dominate the Eurozone.

The document, entitled German Economic Policy and the Euro 1999-2010 reports that since the launch of the Euro currency on 1st January 2002:


  1. The German economy has grown faster than any other country in the Eurozone
  2. Germany has been by far the largest exporting nation within the Eurozone
  3. In the last 3 (recorded) years alone, Germany has run up massive trade surpluses with the other Eurozone countries averaging €100 billion per year
  4. The ECB’s exchange rate policy favors German interests
  5. Germany entered the euro at too low a rate of exchange, cementing its historic economic advantage and to the disadvantage of countries with smaller economies such as Greece and Ireland
  6. The siting of the ECB in Frankfurt enabled Germany to influence policy regarding the Euro in its own interests
