    EU countries cannot freely print money; only the European Central Bank (ECB) has the authority to issue euro banknotes and manage monetary policy for the eurozone. Individual member states must adhere to strict fiscal rules and cannot create their own currency or print euros independently. Every country can sell bonds with a currency they don’t control.

    This is common knowledge.
