Three key insights 👇
(1) European governments have so far committed almost €10.46 billion in fiscal measures
(2) Spain and Germany are responsible for more than 50% of all amounts combined; Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, and Sweden have committed the most in terms of GDP
(3) The majority of measures are untargeted and focus on lowering energy prices - instead of helping vulnerable groups and promoting structural change
