The #Eurogroup warned of persistent economic uncertainty as euro area inflation reached 4% in October. Ministers discussed fiscal discipline, joint defence procurement and investment with NATO Secretary General #MarkRutte Mark Rutte . They also reviewed progress towards a digital euro agreement by year-end, banking sector risks and nominations for three ECB Executive Board positions, including the presidency. #Europe must take responsibility for its own security. Emerging threats require greater and sustained investment. - #KyriakosPierrakakis Kyriakos Pierrakakis , President of the Eurogroup Remarks by Kyriakos Pierrakakis following the Eurogroup meeting of 9 November 2026: Uncertainty has become the new norm in the global economy. The situation in the Middle East is affecting international markets on a daily basis, disrupting economic balances and creating new challenges for Europe. Just consider what has happened over the past ten days. Brent crude oil approached $118 a barrel. It then fell to $94 as hopes grew for a diplomatic solution to the war. All these sharp fluctuations have taken place while, if you think about it, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz has remained largely unchanged. Markets can change direction from one day to the next. But families cannot adjust their household budgets at the same speed. And it is their concerns that must guide our decision making. European natural gas prices remain roughly three times their pre-war levels, while inflation in the euro area reached 4% in October. Underlying inflation has remained stable so far, but sustained pressure on energy prices calls for continued vigilance. Despite the current headwinds, the European economy has demonstrated considerable resilience. Labour markets remain strong, and the euro area now has greater experience and stronger tools to respond to crises. Resilience, however, is a strength. It is not a guarantee. We must remain cautious, coordinate our policies and stand ready to support those most affected by the disruptions. Support, as we often repeat, must be targeted and temporary, so that it reaches those who genuinely need it. At the same time, our challenge is to safeguard fiscal stability and preserve the capacity of our economies to invest and grow. It was against this backdrop that we began today’s Eurogroup meeting. We reviewed the latest economic developments and exchanged views on the recent G7 discussions in Bangkok, particularly concerning the global economy and macroeconomic imbalances. We also discussed the fiscal outlook, ahead of the European Commission’s assessment of the draft budgetary plans for 2027. Sound public finances are a priority because they constitute our shield against crises. They give us the capacity to protect our citizens without compromising their security and prosperity. Especially in times of crisis, every euro counts. Every euro of public spending must deliver real value. And this principle, I would add, is particularly important in an area where Europe is being called upon to invest more than ever before: defence. This was why the second major item on today’s agenda was defence financing, which we discussed with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and with the participation of non-euro area finance ministers.

Le chef de l’Otan, Mark Rutte #MarkRutte, a annoncé, ce mardi 7 juillet à Ankara, en Turquie 🇹🇷, plusieurs contrats d’armement concernant notamment la flotte aérienne de l’Alliance. La valeur de ces différents contrats d’armement dépasse les 50 milliards de dollars. Un gros contrat a ainsi été confirmé avec la firme suédoise Saab pour remplacer la flotte des avions de reconnaissance Awacs, fabriqués par l’avionneur américain Boeing, dont dispose actuellement l’#Otan. Il s’agit d’une commande de dix appareils Global Eye. Le groupe Airbus a de son côté décroché un contrat pour fournir un dixième A330 MRTT (Multi Role Tanker Transport), un avion militaire de transport et de ravitaillement, à la flotte de l’Otan.
