The EU's Maastricht criteria set deficit limits at 3% and debt limits at 60% of GDP because these thresholds represent the point where mathematical models of fiscal sustainability begin to break down; when deficits compound into debt exceeding 60% of GDP, interest payments consume budgets, investors demand higher yields, and currencies weaken, as demonstrated by Greece and Italy crossing these limits before the 2010 crisis.

Why the EU's 3% Rule Exists — Maastricht Animated #Shorts本站添加:
Why does the European Union care if a country's deficit goes over 3%. Because deficits compound into debt and debt above 60% of GDP starts to bite. Interest payments eat the budget. Investors demand higher yields. The currency weakens. The Marsh criterion drew the lines at 3 and 60.
Not because the numbers are magic, but because they're where the math starts to break down.
Greece crossed them. So did Italy. The 2010 crisis was the consequence.
