PARIS, Feb 10 (Reuters) – The European Union ​should launch a ‌means of joint borrowing, ‌for example through eurobonds, as it would help challenge the ⁠hegemony of ‌the U.S. dollar, French President ‍Emmanuel Macron said in newspaper interviews published on ​Tuesday.

“The EU is ‌under‑indebted compared with the United States and China. In a moment of a technological ⁠investment race, ​failing to ​use this borrowing capacity is a ‍profound ⁠mistake,” Macron told several papers, including Le ⁠Monde.
