Super happy to announce a new report on the green interest rate (Green TLTROs) co-authored with colleagues at Sustainable Finance Lab.
We analyse the feasibility of a green TLTRO using the EU Taxonomy framework and discuss the policy design & calibration.

Populism thrives not because voters are misled, but because they reject ‘institutionalism’: a world where rules embed the values of elites, while their own are sidelined. It’s a calculated choice for freedom over constraints.

As for structural monetary policy operations, the ECB will first launch structural refinancing operations, followed later by a structural securities portfolio once legacy bond holdings have wound down sufficiently. Before implementation, MROs and 3m LTROs need to pick up considerably.

finally some competitive advantage for the Dutch: unlike the Chinese, we are not weaponizing your electric bus.
Norway tested two different types of electric buses this summer -one from a Dutch and one from a Chinese manufacturer- to assess cybersecurity risks.
The tests revealed that the Chinese bus could be controlled and turned off remotely, while the European one could not.

France's political crisis has escalated into a regime crisis.
At this point, the highest priority should be 1/ to avoid that the chaos brings the far right to power (no dissolution) and 2/ to ensure future 2027 elections can plausibly result in a functioning government in spite of fragmentation.
