Terms of Crisis

The multifaceted nature of the economic and financial crisis that has been affecting the euro zone for the last three years and the multiple institutional responses that the European Union has attempted to provide has led to a specific lexical field. This glossary tries to define in simple terms the concepts of economic theory, the key ideas from a budgetary point of view, the terms borrowed from the financial markets, the issues at stake for each State that is receiving financial aid and the measures implemented nationally or on a European level. The aim is to provide every 'crisis word' with a definite, clear meaning so that the latter can be understood better. It targets as wide an audience as possible.
