Thus Europe urgently needs long-term fiscal policies designed to reduce government debt to manageable levels and at the same time to promote a stable kind of economic development.<\/p>\n<h4>A new sovereign debt rule<\/h4>\n<p>\u00bbMaastricht 2.0\u00ab is a proposal for a new sovereign debt rule which meets both demands. Unlike the Fiscal Compact\u2019s European debt brake, \u00bbMaastricht 2.0\u00ab takes account of national particularities. Furthermore \u00bbMaastricht 2.0\u00ab gives more time to the countries in order to reduce their debt. Thus the new rule does far more to promote economic growth than the European debt brake. By 2030, real gains in growth will amount to more than 450 billion euros more than the outcome that would presumably be obtained under the European debt brake.<\/p>\n<h4>Downloads: Maastricht 2.0<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Maastricht_Coverbild_GEDProject-e1418386470919.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\u00d6ffnet in einem neuen Tab\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1181 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Maastricht_Coverbild_GEDProject-e1418386470919.jpg\" alt=\"Cover image of the study, showing a glass globe on a black chalk board with chalk writing on it.
