Our Chief Europe Economist explains why the region's outlook over the next year is trending upward, including how higher growth will lead to lower interest rates this cycle.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jens Eisenschmidt, Morgan Stanley's Chief Europe Economist. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I will discuss our outlook for Europe's economy in the second half of 2024 and into next year. It's Thursday, May 30 at 10am in Frankfurt.So, over the last year, we have had a relatively downbeat outlook for Europe's economy, but as we head into the second half of this year our view is decidedly more optimistic. After bottoming last year, euro area growth should reach 0.7 per cent annualized terms in 2024 and 1.2 per cent in 2025 on the back of stronger consumption and exports. Inflation is on its way to the European Central Bank's target, paving the way for the ECB to start cutting rates in June with three cuts in 2024, for a total of 75 basis points, and four more cuts in 2025, for a total of 100 basis points.What's particularly notable, though, is the set-up of this growth rebound is highly unusual for several reasons.Let's start with inflation. In a normal environment, higher growth leads to higher inflation and vice versa. This time is different. The euro area needs to grow faster to get inflation down. The reason is that faster growth should lead to better resource utilization in sectors characterized by labor hoarding or keeping a surplus of employees. This should keep unit labor costs – or how much a business pays its workers to produce one unit of output – in check. We're expecting further wage increases, mostly driven by the catch-up with past inflation, and so higher productivity is a way to cushion the pass-through to prices.So again, just to repeat, we are in a cycle where we need higher growth to get inflation down and not as usual, we have higher growth and that gets us more inflation. Of course, there is a limit to that. If we get too much growth, that would be an issue potentially for the ECB. And if you get too little growth, that is another issue because then we won't get the productivity rebound.In some sense, you could think of the growth we need as a landing strip and we need to come in at that landing strip precisely; and so far, the signs are there that is exactly the picture we are getting in 2024 and 2025 in Europe.Now the monetary and fiscal policy mix is another area where this cycle stands out. So normally, monetary policy would tighten into an upswing and ease into a downturn, while fiscal policy would be expansionary in a downturn and contractionary in an upswing. Euro area monetary policy is currently restrictive – but it's set to get less restrictive over time. The likelihood of rates coming down is hardly bad news for growth. But policymakers will need to take care to not reignite inflation in the process. So all of that gives rise to the gradualism that the European Central Bank has been signaling it will use in its policy easing approach. And again, think about the landing strip metaphor. If we are not gradual enough and we reignite a growth too much, and with it inflation, we might be exiting the landing strip in one way or the other.Thanks for listening.

The EU has recently been placing greater weight on economic security as a distinct policy objective. How does this differ from past attempts to increase resilience and prevent crises? There is also a widespread view that increasing economic security should take the form of “de-risking” that preserves trade integrations as much as possible. But how do we determine exactly what needs de-risking? This lecture seeks to answer these questions and use the answers to the diagnose EU's policy agenda on economic security. What has been achieved, where are the blind spots, and how can the chances of unintended consequences be minimised? About the Speaker: Jeromin Zettelmeyer has been Director of Bruegel since September 2022. Born in Madrid in 1964, Jeromin was previously a Deputy Director of the Strategy and Policy Review Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Prior to that, he was Dennis Weatherstone Senior Fellow (2019) and Senior Fellow (2016-19) at the Peterson Institute for International Economics; Director-General for Economic Policy at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (2014-16); Director of Research and Deputy Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (2008-2014); and an IMF staff member, where he worked in the Research, Western Hemisphere, and European II Departments (1994-2008).

Nora Szentivanyi and Greg Fuzesi discuss the latest global inflation developments and how the incoming data are shaping our views. Core goods disinflation gathered steam in July on the back of manufacturing sector weakness, fading supply chain bottlenecks and excess China supply. Services inflation remains stickier and generally still above CB comfort zones. In the Euro area, we look for another relatively firm 0.36%m/m sa core HICP gain but now see the ECB on hold in September. With the Fed on hold, a number of EM CBs are set to keep easing in response to significant cooling in core inflation.

The watchdogs of EU democracy will have to be "much louder in the future" if they hope to see off a mounting threat from homegrown populists and autocrats who are chipping away at Europe's founding commitments to free speech and the rule of law, a top EU official has warned. "We have to make sure, wherever democracy is under threat, [where there is] shrinking space of civil society, then we have to raise our voices," Oliver Röpke, the newly elected president of the European Economic and Social Committee, an advisory body within the European Union, told FRANCE 24.

Today's episode delves into data. It's all around us in our daily lives, but how important is data for multilateralism today? Especially, as we look to Agenda 2030, and measuring our progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs)? The #NextPagePod is joined by Ruzanna Tarverdyan, Founding President of the Geneva Consensus Foundation, and author of the book, “Measuring sustainable development goals performance”, as well as Edward Mishaud, Acting Director of the SDG Lab at UN Geneva. How can we really measure if we're achieving the SDGs? Are countries' ready to integrate the social, economic and environmental dimensions of development? What does the data tell us about crises, and our ability to face future challenges? And how can science impact multilateralism? We explore these questions in this episode. Resources Learn about the book “Measuring sustainable development goals performance”, by Ruzanna Tarverdyan & Sten Thore. Read the article from the Official Journal of the European Union entitled "Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on Listening to the citizens of Europe for a sustainable future" (Sibiu and beyond)' adopted in 2019 when the European Economic and Social Committee chose to use Ruzanna Tarverdyan & Sten Thore's definition of the notion “Sustainable Competitiveness”.

Moe begins today's show with his 'Moe-ment of Truth," where he condemns today's decision by the Supreme Court striking down a New York gun law that had restricted 'conceal carry.' He is then joined by Jacopo Bencini, who since 2019 works closely with Rondine - Cittadella della Pace, in the role of Campaign and Advocacy Advisor under the wider Leaders for Peace campaign project. The two discuss Rondine and its incredible work. Rondine - Cittadella della Pace, is a non-profit organization based in Tuscany, Italy. Through its restored medieval hamlet 15 minutes by car from Arezzo, it hosts university students coming from conflict and post-conflict areas from all over the world, especially the Caucasus, the Balkans, the Middle East, West Africa, and South America, together with students from all over the Mediterranean and Italy. Rondine's approach is based on a methodology developed over more than twenty years of activity, called the Rondine Method for creative conflict resolution. At the core of the Methodology lies the residential experience, living and sharing rooms with the “enemy”, and the deconstruction of the “enemy” itself as a poisonous concept. Rondine's programs last for one or two years, and – as far as we know – are the longest, globally, in the field of creative peacebuilding. Once back home, all Rondine alumni receive support to implement local impact projects, especially if involving communities from the other side of the border. Rondine's students understood that this very experience could not remain a small, yet successful experiment in the Tuscan countryside and, in December 2018, went to the United Nations in NYC to launch a global campaign, called 'Leaders for Peace.' Through the campaign, Rondine's students asked all 193 UN Governments to invest more in peace education and the teaching of human rights in national school systems. So far, the campaign has been endorsed by Italy, Costa Rica, the European Economic and Social Committee, and Pope Francis. In 2021, Rondine gained the status of special observer at the U.N. Economic and Social Council. In April 2022, a delegation of Rondine was received in NYC by U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, right before his trip to Russia and Ukraine. Rondine is currently opening its horizons overseas and it is looking forward to hosting students from the United States for short residential experiences, building on successful experiences with Canadian universities over past years. Their website is www.rondine.org/en and their Twitter handle is @RondineNobel. Jacopo's handle is @JacopoBencini. Jacopo is an international relations, campaign and advocacy consultant based in Florence, Italy. He has a background in International Relations and several work and research experiences around the world with the European Commission, the African Union Commission, Chatham House, the European Economic and Social Committee, the German Development Institute, and others. He has co-authored studies for the UNFCCC and other intergovernmental institutions. Moreover, he has been Youth Ambassador for the ONE Campaign for three years.

Once described as a “German oddity”†, Ordoliberalism was one of a number of new liberalisms that emerged from the political maelstrom of the interwar period. But, unlike the other neoliberal splinters, Ordoliberalism – founded at the University of Freiburg by economist Walter Eucken and jurist Franz Böhm – was quickly tested in the real world. The West Germany rebuilt out of the ashes of war was founded on its principles: rules-based economics, independent agencies protected from politics and the state as arbiter. The country's recovery and successful reunification were a testament to Ordoliberalism's effectiveness but, as the European Community became a union and created the euro, its other members were keener to import the success than the rules. When crisis struck from 2008, the EU's architecture was severely stress-tested and remains under strain in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Is the long EU political crisis due to Ordoliberalism or due to its non-implementation? Can and should Ordoliberalism adapt and survive? These are some of the questions addressed in Ordoliberalism and European Economic Policy: Between Realpolitik and Economic Utopia (Routledge paperback, 2021) co-edited by Malte Dold and Tim Krieger. Malte Dold is a Freiburg university graduate who now an assistant professor of economics at Pomona College in California, and Tim Krieger is Freiburg's Wilfried Guth professor of constitutional political economy. *As their book recommendations, Tim Krieger chose Conservative Liberalism, Ordo-liberalism, and the State: Disciplining Democracy and the Market by Kenneth Dyson (OUP Oxford, 2021) and Exit Left: Markets and Mobility in Republican Thought by Robert S.

Once described as a “German oddity”†, Ordoliberalism was one of a number of new liberalisms that emerged from the political maelstrom of the interwar period. But, unlike the other neoliberal splinters, Ordoliberalism – founded at the University of Freiburg by economist Walter Eucken and jurist Franz Böhm – was quickly tested in the real world. The West Germany rebuilt out of the ashes of war was founded on its principles: rules-based economics, independent agencies protected from politics and the state as arbiter. The country's recovery and successful reunification were a testament to Ordoliberalism's effectiveness but, as the European Community became a union and created the euro, its other members were keener to import the success than the rules. When crisis struck from 2008, the EU's architecture was severely stress-tested and remains under strain in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Is the long EU political crisis due to Ordoliberalism or due to its non-implementation? Can and should Ordoliberalism adapt and survive? These are some of the questions addressed in Ordoliberalism and European Economic Policy: Between Realpolitik and Economic Utopia (Routledge paperback, 2021) co-edited by Malte Dold and Tim Krieger. Malte Dold is a Freiburg university graduate who now an assistant professor of economics at Pomona College in California, and Tim Krieger is Freiburg's Wilfried Guth professor of constitutional political economy. *As their book recommendations, Tim Krieger chose Conservative Liberalism, Ordo-liberalism, and the State: Disciplining Democracy and the Market by Kenneth Dyson (OUP Oxford, 2021) and Exit Left: Markets and Mobility in Republican Thought by Robert S.

Shelter and housing is taken for granted for most of us. And when we speak of lockdown we generally think of it as an isolation within our own very comfortable four walls. But what about our fellow humans who are not fortunate enough to have a place of their own, who don't have this very basic need covered? How does the pandemic beat down on their already unimaginably harsh reality? Going through a second and third lockdown, it is worth remembering that there are others less fortunate than us - regardless of our own very real challenges. For this reason, we have invited Steps, a non-profit initiative that deals with street connected people in Athens. They take action through street embrace, housing, legal aid and the feeling of belonging in order to support people that experience social exclusion.Only a few days ago STEPS have been awarded the Civil Solidarity Prize from the European Economic and Social Committee for initiatives showing outstanding solidarity during the covid-19 pandemic! Well deserved STEPS, congratulations!But for them to continue their invaluable work they need our support. So please support them in any way that you can: with a donation, as a volunteer or by simply spreading the word. You will find all their relevant links in the show notes below.Or how Katerina, one of the members we were fortunate enough to speak to, puts it: "When you relate, you begin to care and when you care, you take action." So with this episode today we hope that it will be easier to relate to the many people without shelter during this critical time.Thank you all.

#65 European Economic Reform Introduction
In this podcast Ilaria Maselli and Klaas de Vries discuss some of the insights from Conference Board research on how the European economy is doing. We start with the impact of the November lockdowns on the economy and then discuss two different scenarios for 2021. A key message is that the magnitude of the 2021 recovery can affect the entire decade. We also look at how different sectors of the economy are being affected by the COVID-19 crisis, and share results from the freshly released Conference Board Measure of CEO Confidence™, for Europe by the European Round Table for Industry.
In this episode, Sotiria Theodoropoulou sheds light on the economic developments in Europe since the onset of possibly the deepest recession in European history. The analysis will contextualize the economic and social challenges of member states and provide a preliminary analysis of the autumn package and the economic policy priorities of the EU. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/etui/message

Born and bred in the United States, Bruegel scholars Rebecca Christie and J. Scott Marcus are joined by director Guntram Wolff, on a special edition of The Sound of Economics, to talk about the upcoming US election, the implications it will have for American and European Economic policies, as well as the impact on future transatlantic relations. Rebecca and Scott will walk us through the most crucial domestic topics, from voter suppression to shrinking republican demographic, from the covid-19 pandemic to US healthcare system. On international issues, they look at the approaches the two administrations will likely take on climate, trade, data privacy, as well as financial regulations. While a Biden presidency might be the hope to reinitiate sensible discussions and restore alliance and partnerships, a Trump administration will very much likely continue its path on isolationism.

The global pandemic is transforming the social and economic landscape of economies around the world, and without a clear strategy that enables and encourages small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Eurasia to adopt Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies (4IR), economic recovery will not be sustainable. Since the beginning of the crisis, 75% of global SMEs have been forced to let employees go, whilst 70% have seen revenues fall and 40% suffer from liquidity issues as a result of the pandemic, according to data from the OECD. GMIS2020: Embracing tech Whilst the situation appears grim, experts on the latest Digital Series from the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit’s #GMIS2020 believe that SMEs must maximise their ability to be flexible by embracing digitisation and cutting-edge technologies in order to enable an inclusive and sustainable recovery. Experts that participated in the discussion include: Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister for Development of Economy, Trade, and Agriculture, Ukraine; Naira Margaryan, Deputy Minister of Economy, Republic of Armenia; Maja Tomanic Vidovic, Director of the Slovenian Enterprise Fund; Milena Angelova, Vice President of the European Economic and Social Committee and Secretary-General of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association (BICA); and Jacek Cukrowski, Chief Regional Coordination Division for Europe and Central Asia, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The panel agreed that central to the importance of building a sustainable recovery for SMEs and micro business is building digital ecosystems that operate across borders to help overcome any potential future lockdowns. To do this, the experts are calling upon regional governments to work together to offer capacity building and technical support to SMEs through extensive training and upskilling programmes, so that SMEs can join the digital revolution and survive the crisis. GMIS2020: Affect of COVID-19 Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine said the COVID-19 crisis has negatively affected the economic integration of SMEs on both a regional and global level. “SMEs are the key drivers of regional economic growth but the lockdown measures put in place in every country has impacted their ability to produce, trade, and serve their communities as supply chains were disrupted. To ensure recovery is sustainable and given that this virus isn’t going away anytime soon – there is a balance to be struck between adhering to lockdown measures to prevent the spread of the virus and supporting economic activity. The movement of goods between markets should be supported, as should protecting employment – these were the main lessons we learned in Ukraine during the height of the crisis.” Maja Tomanic Vidovic, Director of the Slovenian Enterprise Fund discussed the financial difficulties faced by micro-companies and SMEs across Eurasia during the pandemic explaining that solid management of financial incentives could improve regional economic and investment stability: “SMEs are more vulnerable to shocks such as COVID-19 than big businesses and therefore, the pandemic has shown how important digitisation has become for protecting the stability of our economies.” “The pandemic forced businesses to change how they interact with customers and suppliers, and to do this, digital transformation was made necessary overnight. Once the crisis passes, it is vital that governments put in place programmes to support digital development and innovation not only to survive but to emerge stronger from this crisis. Financial support is critical, but the focus should be on close cooperation and exchange of information and building partnerships, knowledge, and skill development that will deliver a sustainable future.” Naira Margaryan, Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia explained that capacity building in terms of upscaling an...
Olaf Sleijpen, directeur monetaire zaken van De Nederlandsche Bank en Hoogleraar European Economic Policy aan de Maastricht School of Business and Economics. Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Leaders in Finance. Voordat ik mijn gast van vandaag welkom heet en introduceer wil ik nog graag benoemen dat als u of jij, de luisteraar, het leuk vindt om een keer een luisteraarsvraag te stellen, doe dat dan zeker! Ik vind het altijd erg leuk om te krijgen en zo zorgen we er voor dat er ook eens hele andere vragen worden gesteld dan waar ik mee kom. Mocht je er meer over willen weten ga dan naar: leadersinfinance.nl/luisteraarsvraag, of stuur je vraag direct naar info@leadersinfinance.nl Dan nu de gast van vandaag. Ik ben te gast in Amsterdam, bij de Nederlandsche Bank en spreek met Olaf Sleijpen, directeur monetaire zaken en daarnaast hoogleraar European Economic Policy aan de Universiteit van Maastricht. We hebben afgesproken dat we zullen tutoyeren. Net als recent met Jos Baeten, de CEO van ASR, is het geen sinecure om een korte introductie te geven over jou, gezien je staat van dienst en gezien alle activiteiten die je onderneemt. Maar hierbij toch mijn poging! Na voltooing van het Gymnasium B in Heerlen met een cum laude becijfering, studeerde Olaf Economie aan de Universiteit van Maastricht, waar hij wederom cum laude afstudeerde. Hij begon zijn werkzame leven bij DNB en tegelijkertijd vervolgde hij zijn academische carrière als promovendus aan de universiteit van Groningen waar hij in 1999 promoveerde op het onderwerp 'Does Monetary Union require a Fiscal Union? Some Evidence from the United States'. Bij DNB werkte hij als econoom en als manager communicatie. Van 2004 tot 2011 vervulde hij verschillende managementfuncties bij pensioenfonds ABP en pensioenuitvoerder APG. Voordat Olaf begin 2020 toetrad tot de directie van DNB was hij circa 10 jaar divisiedirecteur toezicht van DNB op o.a. de gebieden ‘pensioen', ‘verzekeren' en ‘beleid'. Hij is op het moment verantwoordelijk voor een enorme hoeveelheid aandachtsgebieden, hou je vast ik som ze op: economisch beleid en onderzoek, financiële stabiliteit, financiële markten, betalingsverkeer & marktinfrastructuur, chartaal betalingsverkeer en statistiek. Olaf is daarnaast alternate lid van de Governing Council van de ECB. Naast zijn werk bij DNB is Olaf professor in Maastricht aan de Maastricht School of Business and Economics en Kroonlid van de Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER). Ook is hij sinds 2014 voorzitter van de Raad van Toezicht van het Blauwe Fonds dat zich inzet voor LHBTI-emancipatie. Voor wie niet weet waar de afkorting LHBTI voor staat staat, het staat voor: 'lesbische vrouwen, homoseksuele mannen, biseksuelen, transgenders en intersekse personen'. Ook is Olaf sinds 2018 lid van de Board of Trustees van de Peter Elverding Chair on Sustainable Business Regulation and Corporate Culture van de Universiteit van Maastricht. Verder vind ik het leuk om te vermelden dat Olaf adviseur is geweest van Wim Duisenberg ten tijde van zijn presidentschap van de Europese Centrale bank. Olaf bezoekt de doopsgezinde kerk en is volgens een quote van een bekende in het FD “enorm belezen, weet hij veel van de vaderlandse geschiedenis, van godsdienst, van ideeëngeschiedenis en van kunst.' Tot slot, Olaf is recent 50 jaar geworden en woont in Amstelveen. *** Volg Leaders in Finance via Linkedin. *** Vraag voor een gast? Stel hem!

In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into effect in the European Union. This legislation was introduced to strengthen the data protection rights of European citizens and to give citizens greater control over their data. Following the recent 2 year anniversary of the GDPR, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), Helen Dixon, addresses the IIEA on: “The GDPR at Age 2 – Reflections of the Irish DPC.” This talk by the Irish DPC covers reflections on the GDPR as a legal framework. This includes reflections on the enforcement and litigation experiences, on challenges relating to harmonisation at the European level, on individual complaint-handling and on international transfers of personal data. The complexities of the “one-stop-shop process”, under which the Irish DPC is responsible for regulating many multinational corporations which engage in cross-border data processing, are also discussed. About the Speaker Helen Dixon was appointed as Data Protection Commissioner for Ireland in September 2014 and is responsible for upholding the rights of individuals regarding how data about them is used. Since the GDPR came into effect, the role and remit of the Commissioner for Data Protection has deepened to include a stronger enforcement focus and the Irish Data Protection Commission is the EU Lead Supervisory Authority for many of the world's largest tech companies that are head quartered in Ireland. Previously Irish Registrar of Companies, Helen has also held senior roles in a key economic government department working and holds postgraduate qualifications in European Economic and Public Affairs, Governance, Computer Science, Official Statistics for Policy Evaluation, and Judicial Skills and Decision Making.

Following the arrival of large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe from 2015 onwards, many non-traditional actors—from tech start-ups to social enterprises—have pioneered innovative solutions to foster the social and economic inclusion of newcomers. In the context of this experimentation, business has played a fundamental role, with companies on both sides of the Atlantic leveraging their potential as employers, donors, and partners in innovative alliances. This two-day conference reflected on how innovative initiatives for refugee inclusion can grow beyond pockets of good practice and inspire large-scale, long-term change. The event brought together a diverse group of public officials, business leaders, service designers, social entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, and refugee initiatives from Europe, the United States, and Canada. This panel is entitled "Business, not as usual: Private sector innovation for refugee inclusion”, and the speakers are: Chair: Irini Pari, European Economic and Social Committee Pastora Valero, Vice President, Government Affairs, EMEAR, Cisco Justina Spencer, Manager, Global Corporate Responsibility, Deloitte Samuel Engblom, Policy Director, TCO Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees, Sweden Kavita Brahmbhatt, Co-founder, Action Emploi Réfugiés, France

Cultural Differences & Cultural Diversity in International Business
About This Weeks Guest Madi Sharma Madi Sharma is an entrepreneur and a social capitalist. She's a member of the European Economic and Social Committee, and living her life with one strict motto No Excuses! Her tips to become more culturally competent are: Say "Thank You". These simple words show a great deal of empathy and interest for what happens around you. In addition this leads to a show of respect to the person you're addressing. Understand things from the other person's perspective. If the other person or yourself say "No" to whatever, try to find out what's behind this "No". There is always a deeper meaning. Understanding the deeper meaning will help you understand the other culture better (and your own). Value diversity. Don't be afraid of it, but see the added value in cultural differences.
