5/ The core questions:
→ Should the EU actively back euro’s global expansion?
→ If so, what reforms are essential first — a permanent EU safe asset, capital markets union, banking union?
→ Can Europe bridge political divides and build the trust needed to take these steps?

4/ Is Europe institutionally sound enough for a global currency?
→ No eurozone safe asset (NGEU bonds exist, but are limited and temporary).
→ No common fiscal capacity to stabilise in a crisis.
→ Capital markets remain fragmented. → No unified external voice in global fora.

3/ The risks:
→ Price-sensitive exports could suffer, though premium segments may be insulated → External financial shocks could bite harder → Large foreign reserve holders may gain leverage over EU policy

2/ A stronger euro could lower financing costs for EU companies & governments — helping fund the massive investments Europe needs for sustainability, security, and sovereignty.
It could also strengthen Europe’s financial & geopolitical autonomy.
But at what cost? ⚖️
