V času zadnje velike finančne krize so se v državah članicah Evropske Unije precej zvišali javni dolgovi. Glavne polemike se odvijajo na temo, kako zaustaviti oziroma znižati višine javnih dolgov in se rešiti iz finančne krize. Države so uvedle strogo varčevanje, sprejeta je bila Pogodba o stabilnosti, usklajevanju in upravljanju v gospodarski in denarni uniji, ki prinaša zlato fiskalno pravilo. To pomeni, da bo potrebno prilagoditi nacionalne zakonodaje in v njih vnesti zavoro zadolževanja oz. omejitev javnega dolga. Ukrepi so strogi in razburjajo javnost, brezposelnost se veča in krči se ekonomska in socialna varnost državljanov. Kakšna bo cena, da se izkopljemo iz finančne krize in krenemo v okrepljeno in trajno gospodarsko rast, bo pokazal čas. Nekaterim državam bo uspelo prej kot drugim, a slej ko prej bo uspelo vsaki državi članici Evropske Unije, tudi z medsebojno pomočjo. During the last major financial crisis, national debt within the European Union has sharply increased. Topic of sharp polemic is a question how to halt or reduce the amount of national debt and to recover from the financial crisis. Countries have adopted strict austerity measures they adopted the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union, which introduces the golden fiscal rule. It means that national legislations will have to be adjusted and countries will have to restrict public borrowing and national debt. The measures are stringent and therefore upsetting for public, unemployment is increasing while citizens' economic and social security is decreasing. Only the time can tell what it will cost to get out of financial crisis and to enter a stronger and sustained economic growth. Some countries will succeed sooner than others, but sooner or later every EU country will succeed, also with help of mutual assistance.
