How the European Union had a large disconnect between their two policy controllers for the economy, specifically identifying the Economic and Monetary Union, which controls the monetary policy in the European Union and individual countries own fiscal policies. Examined next is the way in which the European Union acted to save its economy. The new policies that were implemented and the overall problem taken up and decided that monetary and fiscal policy could not be so disconnected.
