EMU membership anchors prices & dampens country-specific uncertainty. More in our new column 👇

A monetary union shapes the impact of economic #uncertainty on its member countries by providing a nominal anchor that effectively eliminates price level #risk from country-specific uncertainty.

Chart showing the increase in stock market volatility across European countries in April 2025. Recent events, such as tariff announcements, illustrate that even global shocks may feature important country-specific components. This column finds that a monetary union shapes the impact of economic uncertainty on its member countries by substantially mitigating the adverse effects of country-specific shocks. It does so by providing a nominal anchor that effectively eliminates price level risk arising from country-specific uncertainty. This finding also implies heterogeneous exposure to uncertainty can reduce the need for policy interventions at the country level, whether by the common central bank or by national fiscal policy.
