Eurozone finance ministers will discuss, among other things, current developments in the single currency area at a fiscal and macroeconomic level, the medium-term effects of the health crisis and lessons learned from its unequal impact on economic sectors and regions as well as the policy actions to be taken in order to avoid the risk of divergences between member states during the recovery period.
