Parliament has backed the first European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP).

This creates a “Made in Europe” defence market that pools resources, cuts dependence on unreliable suppliers & boosts our shared security.

Maarten Bosker, Else-Marie van den Herik, Paul Pelzl, & Steven Poelhekke study Indonesia's 2014 ban on nickel and bauxite exports and show that export bans must be accompanied by a swift increase in domestic processing capacity to be effective.
cepr.org/voxeu/column...
#EconSky
Graph of active Indonesian export restrictions on industrial raw materials by reason from 2009 to 2023. ‘Promote downstream industry’ denotes an active export-restricted industrial raw material that lists as a reason at least one of ‘Promote further processing / value added’ and ‘Protect local downstream industry’. Besides ‘Other’, reasons could include ‘Control of illegal mining activity’, ‘Product is strategic for the economy’, ‘Generate revenue’, and ‘Control of foreign exchange’. Export restrictions on industrial raw materials are increasingly used by developing economies to climb value chains. This column explores whether Indonesia’s 2014 ban on nickel and bauxite exports, which aimed to spur domestic processing and job creation, succeeded in promoting local economic development. Nickel districts saw a sustained rise in employment, especially in manufacturing and service, while bauxite districts faced employment losses. Export bans must be accompanied by a swift increase in domestic processing capacity, and policymakers must carefully consider commodity-specific factors.

Hans Gersbach, Paul Maxence Maunoir, & Kieran James Walsh introduce the 'trade benefit ratio', which captures the total economic loss a country's withdrawal from global trade would cause others relative to the self-inflicted loss.

#EconSky
Graphs of the trade benefit ratio for all sectors, only manufacturing and services, and only manufacturing. ‘ROE’ means Rest-of-EU, ‘LAA’ is a subset of Latin American economies, ‘EAA’ is a subset of East Asian economies, ‘AFR’ is a subset of African economies, and ‘ROW’ means Rest-of-World. ‘Only Manufacturing and Services’ excludes ISIC codes A and B (agriculture, forestry, fishing, and mining) from trade barriers, and ‘Only Manufacturing’ includes the C codes only. See Gersbach et al. (2025) for a full description of the countries, regions, and sectors.

In a context of shifting US commitments, external threats, and global competition over trade, technology, critical minerals, talent, and intellectual property, Europe’s lack of defence capabilities leaves it vulnerable to economic and foreign policy pressure. This column outlines key principles for establishing a European Future of Defence Architecture and a framework for its financing.

#EconSky
Artificial intelligence is transforming finance faster than the authorities can adapt. This column argues that while AI enhances the financial system’s efficiency, it also poses new, poorly understood risks. To stay relevant, the supervisory authorities must develop their own AI capabilities, use federated learning for cross-jurisdiction models, and design intervention facilities that can respond at machine speed. If they cannot keep pace, the consequences will be ineffective supervision and a higher risk of financial crisis.

E Dabla-Norris, D Furceri, Z Munkacsi, & G Sher show reallocating spending to infrastructure, education, health, & R&D and closing efficiency gaps can raise GDP by 11% in EMDEs and 4% in advanced economies, without increases in total spending.
cepr.org/voxeu/column...
#EconSky
Graph of long-term output gains from reallocating spending (percent). The bars show long-term output gains due to a permanent increase, in the expenditure categories listed in the legend, of 1% of GDP in 2025, funded by a cut in public consumption. With high public debt and weak medium-term growth, finance ministries seek to do more with less. This column argues that efficiency gaps in public spending stand at about 30-40% globally and are pronounced in infrastructure investment and R&D spending. Using empirical and model-based analysis, it shows that reallocating spending to infrastructure, education, health, and R&D and closing efficiency gaps can raise GDP by 11% in emerging market and developing economies and 4% in advanced economies, over the long term, and crucially without increases in total spending.
