Today on the show, Matt Siddle, portfolio manager of Fidelity Europe Fund, joins us to discuss the latest market movements in Europe, and where he is finding opportunities in 2023. Matt provides an outlook on the overall European Economy and how he's positioning his fund based on the latest movements. He says one key item he's keeping an eye on is natural gas. He says the tailwinds and issues of 2022 are gone as governments are now sourcing gas from other places, however; even with the rise in optimism, he says the economic environment in Europe will be tough in the next six to twelve months. Matt says the mood in Europe has improved, but data indicates the economy is starting to slow - data, job numbers and temporary staffing roles have contributed to the slowing economy. For him, he's optimistic about the medium outlook for the next three years view however the next six months will be tough. For opportunities right now, Matt is focusing on businesses that are less volatile, less cyclically at risk and have cheap valuations. Recorded on January 13, 2023.

For decades, the European Union has been a vehicle for peace and prosperity in Europe, but it is in trouble today. The response to the crisis has had negative economic and political effects. The question: Is the European Economy doomed? A group of economic studies defends the possibility of the old continent overcoming the gas crisis with minimal losses. Has Europe prepared to live without Russian gas? The answer is a compelling NO!The closer winter approaches, the greater the tension among European governments, due to the gas crisis resulting from Russia's complete & permanent halt to pumping its gas to Europe. One thing is sure: Europe cannot survive without Russian gas in the long term!!Link to articles:Bruegel Think-Tank:https://www.bruegel.org/bruegel-europ...Has Europe prepared to live without Russian gas, or has it found an alternative?https://www.tellerreport.com/news/202...Finland plans to offer $10 bln liquidity guarantee to energy sector:https://www.reuters.com/business/ener...Join us on Locals: https://geopolitics.locals.com/Subscribe to our Instagram: @GeopoliticsInConflictSubscribe to our Blog: https://www.globalperspectiveconsulti...Follow us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/GeopoliticsInConflictFollow us on Odysee: https://odysee.com/@GeopoliticsInConf...Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/doualaalou

As the energy crisis tightens its grip on Europe, efforts to find alternatives to Russian energy are not as easy as promised. The share of Russian natural gas in EU's total imports has halved from over 40% in 2021. With winter approaching, countries are scrambling to import energy from elsewhere, particularly from U.S. and Norway, only to be met with skyrocketing prices. German and French political figures have made their displeasure public, while U.S. companies are raking in record revenues. Who is profiteering from the energy crisis?

Bloomberg's Managing Editor for European Economy and Government Ben Sills joins to hammer home that this is still a prime minister who's struggling to regain credibility and questions about her leadership chops are not going away. Plus, former Bank of England policy maker Andrew Sentance says the new government thinks it has a "magic wand" to create economic growth in the short-term but "that's just not realistic." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whilst the US might be struggling a bit with inflation, its nothing compared to what's likely to happen in Europe. This week Russia shuts down its gas pipeline to Europe, supposedly for repairs, but there's no guarantee it will open again. Even if it does, supplies are a fraction of what they were and Europe wants to stop its reliance on Russia anyway – pushing prices sky high, with rationing the only likely solution. Meanwhile, the Euro is weakening as the dollar goes from strength to strength, and that's adding to Europe's inflation pressures. And throw a drought on to of all of that, adding to the energy and supply problems. Plus a growing wealth divide. Is there any good news for Europe? Steve Keen reckons the only answer, sadly, is for Europe to give-in to Putin and make swathes of Ukraine the sacrificial lamb as the only way to avoid economic collapse. Even then, Europe has a number of inherent problems to overcome. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Paschal Donohoe, Minister for Finance, discusses the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on European economies.

Happy New Year and welcome back to The Sound of Economics! In this first episode of 2022, Guntram Wolff is joined by Irene Tinagli MEP, Chair of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament to discuss what dominated European economic policy making in 2021 and what to expect from the coming year, in terms of both economic outlook and key challenges.

In this podcast Frank Heemskerk (European Round Table for Industry), and Ilaria Maselli and Klaas de Vries (The conference Board) discuss some of the key insights from the report “European Business Leaders Adjust Expectations Slightly Downward”. We start with the latest reading of the Measure of CEO Confidence™, and then discuss growth expectations for 2022 and risks that can affect the European economy in the short-term. A key message is that the current struggles of the economy come from the supply side: supply chains under stress, inadequate equipment and emerging labour shortages. The report can be found at this link: https://www.conference-board.org/topics/CEO-Confidence/ceo-confidence-november-2021-report

This episode features Kristian (Kris) Orsini, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs at the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, in conversation with Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Executive Director of the EACCNY. Their discussion centers around the European Union's Summer 2021 Economic Forecast. Enjoy! Executive SummaryThe improving health situation and ensuing continued easing of virus containment measures are putting the EU economies back in motion. The near-term outlook for the European economy looks brighter than expected in spring. The contraction of GDP in the first quarter of the year turned out to be marginal, and milder than suggested by Eurostat's Preliminary Flash Estimate, which was incorporated into the Spring Forecast. Falling numbers of new infections and hospitalisations, thanks to an effective containment strategy and progress in vaccination, have led EU Member States to reopen their economies, to the benefit of service sector businesses, in particular. Upbeat survey results among consumers and businesses, as well as data tracking mobility, suggest that a rebound in consumption is already underway and set to strengthen in the coming months. There is also evidence of a beginning revival in tourism activity, which should also benefit from the new EU Digital COVID Certificate. Together, these factors are expected to outweigh the temporary production input shortages and rising costs hitting parts of the manufacturing sector.Overall, GDP is now forecast to grow by 4.8% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2022 in both the EU and the euro area. The volume of output is projected to return to its pre-crisis level (2019-Q4) in the last quarter of 2021, which is one quarter earlier than expected in the Spring Forecast for the euro area. However, economic activity in the fourth quarter of 2022 would remain about 1% shy of the level that was expected before the pandemic, based on an extrapolation of the Winter 2020 Interim Forecast. The speed of the recovery will vary significantly across the Member States. Some are expected to see economic output return to their pre-pandemic levels by the third quarter of 2021, but others would take longer.The forecast for inflation this year and next has also been revised upwards, though retaining a hump-shaped profile. Rising energy and commodity prices, production bottlenecks due to the shortage of some input components and raw materials and capacity constraints vis-à-vis booming demand both at home and abroad are expected to put upward pressure on consumer prices this year. In 2022, pressures are assumed to moderate gradually as supply constraints resolve, order backlogs clear, and demand growth moderates. Accordingly, inflation in the EU is now forecast to average 2.2% this year and 1.6% in 2022 (+0.3 and +0.1 pps., respectively, compared to the Spring Forecast). In the euro area, inflation is forecast to average 1.9% in 2021 (+ 0.2 pps.) and 1.4% in 2022 (+0.1 pps.).Uncertainty and risks surrounding the growth outlook are high but remain overall balanced. The threat posed by the spread and emergence of variants of concern underscores the importance of a further rapid increase in full vaccination. Economic risks relate in particular to the response of households and firms to changes in restrictions and the impact of emergency policy support withdrawal.Inflation may turn out higher than forecast if supply constraints are more persistent and price pressures are passed on to consumer prices more strongly.

In addition to being the editor of Top1000funds.com, she is responsible for directing the global bi-annual Fiduciary Investors Symposium which challenges global investors on investment best practice and aims to place the responsibilities of investors in wider societal, and political contexts.  She holds a Bachelor of Economics and a Masters of Art in Journalism and has been an investment journalist for more than 25 years. She is currently a fellow in the Finance Leaders Fellowship at the Aspen Institute. The two-year program seeks to develop the next generation of responsible, community-spirited leaders in the global finance industry.What is the Fiduciary Investors series?The COVID-19 global health and economic crisis has highlighted the need for leadership and capital to be urgently targeted towards the vulnerabilities in the global economy. Through conversations with academics and asset owners, the Fiduciary Investors Podcast Series is a forward looking examination of the changing dynamics in the global economy, what a sustainable recovery looks like and how investors are positioning their portfolios.The much-loved events, the Fiduciary Investors Symposiums, act as an advocate for fiduciary capitalism and the power of asset owners to change the nature of the investment industry, including addressing principal/agent and fee problems, stabilising financial markets, and directing capital for the betterment of society and the environment. Like the event series, the podcast series, tackles the challenges long-term investors face in an environment of disruption,  and asks investors to think differently about how they make decisions and allocate capital. 

Fidelity International's Investment Director Tom Stevenson joins host Pamela Ritchie on the program to discuss his thoughts on the most recent FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting in Europe.  Headquartered in London, England, Tom shares his thoughts on inflation and the reopening trade.  Tom notes that the reopening trade in the UK is alive and kicking.  He says that people are starting to shop and spend, which indicates they are getting back to work.  At 2.1%, inflation in the UK was well ahead of expectations as it was originally forecasted to be closer to 1.8%.  Tom unpacks the events during the FOMC meeting and notes that the market reaction was not a surprise.  In this episode, Tom also looks at commodities, key investment themes in the long term, and shares his thoughts on the direction of the pound relative to the the US dollar. Recorded on June 18, 2021.

We will also bring an uniquely Irish perspective, and address how the smaller European states are going to progress by using Ireland as benchmark. Our guests will be from many different walks of life and backgrounds, each bringing their perspective on how the Europe of today will become the Europe of tomorrow. Our Podcasts are presented in cooperation with the Communicating Europe Initiative. The CEI was established by the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ireland in 1995 to raise awareness about the European Union and to improve the quality and accessibility of public information on European issues. In our first episode we discuss the European economy and to help answer some questions that many people have about the European economic system, we chat with Frances Cowell. Frances is drawing on her 30 years' experience in senior roles in banking and finance and we will ask how safe our banks are, whether the European economy is about to implode, levels of debt and the future of cryptocurrencies in Europe.

The world's largest economy is rebounding from the pandemic more slowly than other global powerhouses. The European Union's economy is "on crutches," and isn't yet ready to stand on its own, says Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, which serves the 19 EU countries that use the Euro. Now that Europeans are getting vaccinated and the pandemic's peak has likely passed, she predicts a robust economic rebound in the second half of 2021. She speaks with Carlyle Group co-founder and co-chair David Rubenstein about a range of issues including the pandemic, predictions for the eurozone, Brexit's impact on Europe, and sexism in the finance industry.

You know inflation’s a genuine concern when even Warren Buffett’s worried. Everyone seems to acknowledge that prices in America are rising except Team Biden. The Fed thinks they’ll wave some magic wand, and inflationary measures will disappear -- but their only real option is raising rates, which will have a disastrous effect on our nation’s finances. Daniel Lacalle, Chief Economist at Tressis, discusses the lessons learned from the European Union on how big government and massive spending are toxic for economic growth -- and how to avoid their missteps. The two also discuss demystifying FDR, the rising corporate and capital gains taxes, and China’s bid to succeed us as home to the world’s reserve currency.

"Passione" è il tema della 16^ edizione del festival Vicino/lontano 2020, al via in presenza a Udine, venerdì 25 settembre, con la performance del narratore-affabulatore Stefano Massini, in scena con la sua passione per le storie che servono a vivere meglio (Chiesa di S. Francesco, ore 21.30). Con i suoi affreschi narrativi Stefano Massini “tocca il cuore e la mente”, emoziona e fa riflettere, creando cortocircuiti grazie a uno stile unico che intreccia vicende, personaggi, eventi quotidiani e fatti di cronaca con gli stati d'animo dell'essere umano. Sarà un evento scenico legato alle storie che servono a vivere meglio, piccoli manuali di sopravvivenza per affrontare la giungla di tutti i giorni. IL PROGRAMMA Promosso dall'Associazione Vicino/lontano a cura di Paola Colombo e Franca Rigoni – con la supervisione scientifica di Nicola Gasbarro – Vicino/lontano 2020 racconterà la passione nelle sue diverse forme: momento culminante la serata-evento del Premio Letterario Internazionale Tiziano Terzani che sarà consegnato allo scrittore franco-libanese Amin Maalouf dalla presidente di Giuria Angela Terzani Staude, insieme ai figli Folco e Saskia, domenica 27 settembre (ore 21). In sintonia con il filo conduttore del festival 2020, la Giuria ha assegnato quest'anno il premio per la sua “com-passione” per le sorti umane, quella espressa nel saggio “Il naufragio delle civiltà” (La nave di Teseo). Maalouf dialogherà con la giornalista di RadioRai 3 Anna Maria Giordano, interverrà il direttore di Limes Lucio Caracciolo e protagonista della serata sarà una grande interprete della canzone d'autore italiana: Tosca, artista eclettica e raffinata, da sempre appassionata cultrice delle musiche popolari del mondo. Le sue atmosfere sapranno restituire al pubblico la sensibilità di Tiziano Terzani, la sua curiosità appassionata e la sua profonda vocazione di “cittadino del mondo”. Vicino/lontano 2020 si chiederà innanzitutto se “Politica è passione?” (venerdì 25, ore 19.00, Chiesa di san Francesco), tema del confronto inaugurale, che impegnerà uno dei maggiori esperti italiani di politica internazionale, Vittorio Emanuele Parsi, i filosofi Giacomo Marramao e Annarosa Buttarelli insieme alla giornalista e documentarista Francesca Mannocchi. La discussione sarà coordinata dal presidente del comitato scientifico di vicino/lontano, l'antropologo Nicola Gasbarro. Il confronto sarà preceduto, alle 18.30, da “Invisible blues”, breve e suggestivo concerto per theremin - strumento “invisibile” dai magici effetti sonori - con il polistrumentista Leo Virgili. Al festival si parlerà anche di “Passione civile, etica, responsabilità” (sabato 26, alle 18.00), con il magistrato Francesco Crisafulli, il direttore dell'Ufficio di Servizio sociale per i minorenni di Palermo Salvatore Inguì, il medico anestestista di MSF Stefano Di Bartolomeo e l'avvocato Umberto Ambrosoli, premio Terzani 2010. A moderare l'incontro sarà l'avvocato del Foro di Udine Maddalena Bosio. Di un'altra passione, che ha conosciuto anni di grande speranza ed entusiasmo, identificandosi nel “sogno europeo”, discuteranno, in un confronto dal titolo “Perché l'Europa non scalda più i cuori?” (domenica 27, alle 15.00), lo storico Guido Crainz, il filosofo della politica e germanista Angelo Bolaffi e Riccardo Perissich, senior fellow della School of European Economy della Luiss, già Capo di Gabinetto di tre commissari europei, moderati da Nicola Gasbarro. La sfida ecologica e geoclimatica, imposta dall'urgente necessità di conciliare consumi e sostenibilità in un pianeta sempre più “antropizzato”, sarà affrontata in “Antropocene, istruzioni per l'uso” (sabato 26, alle 15.00), un confronto di taglio economico-ambientale che vedrà sul palco della chiesa di San Francesco l'economista Antonio Massarutto, direttore di ricerca allo Iefe della Bocconi e ordinario all'Università di Udine, il docente di Ecologia all'Università di Milano-Bicocca Emilio Padoa Schioppa e la filosofa sociale all'U...

Walking the Highwire: Rebalancing the European Economy in Crisis (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) tells the story of the Eurozone's crisis from the perspective of an insider who now sits on the European Central Bank's governing council. Part-policy proposal, part-autobiography, and part-political memoir, at the heart of Walking The Highwire are the four critical years from 2010 to 2014 when Olli Rehn served as European Commissioner for economic and monetary affairs. The book tells us what took a football-mad boy from Southern Savonia to Brussels – via Oxford and Minnesota – and reveals the behind-the-scenes fights and compromises that shaped the crisis and pulled the euro from the brink. Olli Rehn has been governor of the Bank of Finland since 2018, was Finnish minister of economic affairs (2015-2016), European Commissioner for economic and monetary affairs (2010-2014), and commissioner for enlargement (2004-2010). He holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford in international political economy.

The Secular Enlightenment (Princeton University Press, 2019) is a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this landmark book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Margaret Jacob, one of our most esteemed historians of the Enlightenment, reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Turin, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Human frailties once attributed to sin were now viewed through the lens of the newly conceived social sciences. People entered churches not to pray but to admire the architecture, and spent their Sunday mornings reading a newspaper or even a risqué book. The secular-minded pursued their own temporal and commercial well-being without concern for the life hereafter, regarding their successes as the rewards for their actions, their failures as the result of blind economic forces. A majestic work of intellectual and cultural history, The Secular Enlightenment demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. Margaret C. Jacob is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her many books include The Radical Enlightenment: Pantheists, Freemasons, and Republicans and The First Knowledge Economy: Human Capital and the European Economy, 1750–1850. She lives in Los Angeles.

Hosts Jonathan Ferro and Guy Johnson spoke with Jamie Rush, Chief Euro-Area Economist for Bloomberg Economics. They discussed the economics at play in Europe.

The COVID19 crisis will have a major impact upon the European Economy. In order to mitigate the effect and restore its transmission channels the European Central Bank (ECB) introduced its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP). This programme has not been left uncriticised and its legality questioned. Its financial crisis counterpart the Public Asset Purchasing Programme has caused a clash between the German Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice. In this episode we will be discussing the legality of the PEPP and the impact upon the ECB's mandate with PhD Candidate Annelieke Mooij. Will the ECB ever be the same?

Discussing the continuing tensions within the EU between North and South and how difficult it will be to agree to ongoing aid as part of the EU multi-year budgeting process, Vincent was joined by Ferdinando Giugliano who covers the European Economy for Bloomberg.

In this episode of indications, Ilaria Maselli (Senior Economist, Europe, The Conference Board) and Bart van Ark (Chief Economist, The Conference Board) discuss the outlook for the European economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. They discuss how the current crisis compares to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 and debate on what type of shock this is and what are the conditions that will contribute to a rebound.

Nima discusses the impacts of the Coronavirus panic on the European economy.

Agnès Bénassy Quéré, Professor at the Paris School of Economics and at the University of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne exchanges opinions with David Rinaldi, FEPS Director of Studies and Policy on the potential reforms to the EMU architecture and European fiscal rules. She explains the logic of a spending rule that would avoid the pro-cyclicality of the current setting. Thanks to her involvement in the French Productivity Board, Professor Bénassy Quéré also sheds some light on the agenda for competitiveness. Does it make sense to have national boards devising competitiveness in competition with other European member states?

Joseph E. Stiglitz, Columbia University professor, winner of the Nobel prize, in conversation with László Andor, Secretary General, FEPS, about the book he published with FEPS: Rewriting the Rules of the European Economy: https://www.feps-europe.eu/resources/publications/662-rewriting-the-rules-of-the-european-economy.html The discussion in particular revolves around the fiscal rules (Stability and Growth Pact) which, according to Stiglitz, need to be overhauled, even if in the past decade some new avenues opened up for promoting investment in Europe. Stiglitz also elaborates on questions of taxation, and shares his views about the 2019 Nobel laureates, who have been mainly working on the economics of poverty.

On this episode of the Planned Solutions INC podcast we take a look at the Housing Prices Surge. Pension plans, Lump Sum VS Annuity as well as insight on the European Economy and a visit to the PSI Office Bulletin Board.

Prof Michael Landesmann, The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) and Johannes Kepler University, Austria. External imbalances, disparate developments in export capacity and unbalanced growth patters characterise the wider European economy (i.e. the economy of the European Union and its neighbourhood). This talk reviews the major forces that push towards divergence and discusses the possibilities of resolving the dilemmas of policy frameworks that could tackle these. A positive political economy approach will be adopted to identify conflicts of interest between national and cross-border economic interest and the possibilities of policy developments will be discussed. A development and industrial policy perspective to deal with unbalanced growth and peripherisation within the EU and in its neighbourhood will be emphasised in particular. Speaker(s): Prof Michael Landesmann (wiiw), Antonio Andreoni (SOAS) Event Date: 26 April 2017 Released by: SOAS Economics Podcast
