The Lessons of the crisis

The Lessons of the crisis

2010. 06. 15.

Press Release of MEP Enikő Győri (Fidesz/EPP Group) - Crisis knows no frontiers: this was clearly evidenced by the fact that from the very beginning of the economic turmoil, problems in the eurozone exerted immediate effects on non-eurozone countries, despite the fact that the latter disposed of a much healthier banking system. In the overwhelming majority of cases, toxic products were e.g. largely absent from the balance sheets of the financial institutions in the new Members States, and most of them conducted a rather prudent and sound investment policy. For this reason, it is not surprising that there was no need for any major banking bailout operation in the region – although the crisis undoubtedly hit the economies of the new Member States in a more severe way, and put to trial both the spirit and the practice of European solidarity.
