EU Fact Sheets - Financial assistance to EU Member States - 01-02-2018 08-03-2018 12:00 AM CET European financial assistance mechanisms are aimed at preserving the financial stability of the EU and the euro area, as financial distress in one Member State can have a substantial impact on macro-financial stability in other Member States. Financial assistance is linked to macroeconomic conditionality (it is a loan rather than a fiscal transfer), to ensure that Member States receiving such assistance implement the necessary fiscal, economic, structural and supervisory reforms.
