surplus and government surplus money because , Spain is proposing
to EU governemnts for a Euro 1.5 Trillion recovery fund for
financing the recovery from the COVID pandemic and economic crisis.
Spain want this fund to be issued as grants, and issue perpetual
bonds . Also their proposal is that all EU countries should
mutually bear the cost of crisis. Italy has supported Spain while

the mutual debt. Spain has put the proposal that the money should
be given as grant and not as loan to avoid the debt for already
burdened economies.
