Moody's: Healthcare challenges could impact Europe's fiscal and credit position

Moody's with some comments via Reuters

  • Europe's "super-aged" populations pose healthcare challenges
  • This could impact countries' fiscal and credit position
  • Ageing-related spending pressures will intensify in Europe in coming years
  • This will mean healthcare poses a bigger fiscal challenge than pensions

Some comments there by ratings agency Moody's on what they expect things in Europe to pan out over the next few years. They've also highlighted a similar issue back in 2014 here.

It's something that will be tough to track, especially when it comes to the impact it has on economic growth - but is something worth noting.
