摘要：The economic crisis,followed by the sovereign debt crisis,resulted in high unemployment,unsustainable public finances and deepening disparities between Euro Area member states,and underlined the necessity of strengthening economic coordination.In order to lessen the effects of the crises,to prevent further deepening of the economic context and the appearance of new similar situations,the European framework was improved by the provisions of the new economic governance.The aim of this paper is to assess the effects regarding macroeconomic stability within Euro Area member states,achieved under the new economic governance framework.In this respect,the first part of the paper consists in an overview of the provisions imposed through the European Semester,the reformed Stability and Growth Pact and the other elements of the new European governance.In order to assess the achievement of economic stability we analyzed data for Southern Euro Area member states,during 2009-2013,as this group of countries registered most issues during 2013.We took into consideration five important indicators,essential in any economy that form the macroeconomic stability pentagon: economic growth rate,unemployment rate,inflation rate,budgetary balance and current account balance.By comparing the area obtained through the macroeconomic stability pentagon,we conclude on meeting one of the main objectives of the new European governance: economic stability.
