Agenda highlights
Regular format - 13.00h
IMF Article IV review of the euro area
The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, will present the outcome of the IMF's Article IV consultation with the euro area. The IMF is expected to publish the final report shortly.
The IMF carries out such consultations every year with all of the IMF members, both individual countries and currency regions, including the euro area. This is done in accordance with Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement.
Thematic discussion on growth and jobs - inequality
The Eurogroup will discuss inequality in the eurozone, based on the European Commission analysis as well as a presentation by Philippe Aghion, a French economist and Professor at the College de France and at the London School of Economics. He will join the meeting at the Eurogroup President's invitation.
Promoting conditions leading to inclusive growth is among the Eurogroup's priorities, and key to better functioning of the Economic and Monetary Union overall.
Cyprus - post-programme surveillance
The European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB) will inform the Eurogroup of the main findings of their 6th post-programme surveillance mission to Cyprus that took place between 18 and 22 March 2019. The ESM will inform about the results of its Early Warning System, and the IMF - on its 3rd post-programme monitoring mission to Cyprus.
The post-programme surveillance aims to establish any possible risks to the country's ability to repay loans received under its earlier adjustment programme. The surveillance continues until at least 75 % of the loan has been repaid.
Eurogroup work programme 2/2019
The Eurogroup will adopt its work programme for the second half of this year.
