The economic crisis in the Euro zone is hastening integration in the Euro zone by linking together the financial policies of the Euro countries and supervision of the banks. It is hard to see any other way forward, as the crisis clearly shows that a currency union cannot be held together by a common monetary policy alone. Up to now, politicians have focused on one obstacle at a time without making any progress, but by also looking at all the government finances and bank as a whole, the Euro zone – to use a football metaphor - is running onto the ball.
