Kryzys zadłużeniowy wymusił na Unii Europejskiej podjęcie reformy Paktu Stabilności i Wzrostu. Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu tej reformy na dynamikę długu publicznego oraz jej wpływu na wielkość SFA w państwach Unii Europejskiej. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że dług publiczny w większości krajów spadał w analizowanym okresie. Jednocześnie uzyskano wyraźny związek pomiędzy dynamiką długu a SFA w krajach o najlepszej sytuacji w zakresie dynamiki długu publicznego.

The debt crisis forced the European Union to reform the Stability and Growth Pact. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the influence of the reform on the dynamics of public debt and its correlation with stock-flow adjustment in the European Union. The undertaken analysis was based on the TOPSIS method. The synthetic measure was based on chosen variables which reflect the public debt dynamics. An analysis of correlations was also performed to find relations between the debt dynamics and stock-flow adjustment. The undertaken analysis has shown that the majority of EU countries reduced public debt in the analyzed period. We can also observe that there is a strong correlation between public debt and stock-flow adjustment in the group of the most successful countries in the area of public debt dynamics. The article introduces a synthetic measure of public debt dynamics which is wider that a change of public debt. Moreover, the relation between public debt dynamics and stock-flow adjustment was analyzed. JEL: H62, H63 null The creation of the English-language version of these publications is fi nanced in the framework of contract No. 607/P-DUN/2018 by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education committed to activities aimed at the promotion of education.
