Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyze the macroeconomic stability of the EU-27 economies using the PSM method. According to the research carried out, in the decade before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the macroeconomic stability of the European Union countries increased significantly in the medium term, with the exception of Sweden. Moreover, analyzes for individual economies show that most of them managed to improve, both in the area of internal and external stability. The question remains whether the improvement in stability could have been more significant if macroeconomic policy had been focused more on reducing unemployment and accelerating economic growth, and less on improving the budget deficit balance. The conducted research indicates that the improvement of the macroeconomic situation will be a long-term process within which the economic policy should aim to strive for an even improvement of all its factors.
