Executive Vice-President Fitto and Commissioner Dombrovskis are invited to the 17th Recovery and Resilience Dialogue (RRD) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) Regulation, scheduled for 10 February 2025. The previous RRD took place on 16 September 2024.

The EU's debt stock reached EUR 547 billion by the end of September 2024 and is expected to increase by an additional EUR 448 billion under current commitments. Of this total, EUR 421 billion will ultimately finance grants, with the interest and principal repayments to be made jointly by EU countries through the EU budget. The remaining amount will finance loans to countries, which will be serviced as those countries repay their loans. The interest rate risk for the 2028-2034 MFF is expected to remain ...

This study looks at potential windfall profits for the four banking acquisitions in 2023. Based on accounting figures, an FT article states that a total of USD 44bn was left on the table. We see accounting figures as a misleading analysis. By estimating marked-based cumulative abnormal returns (CAR), we find positive abnormal returns in all four cases which when made quantifiable, are around half of the FT鈥檚 accounting figures. Furthermore, we argue that transparent auctions with enough bidders ...

During the October II plenary session, 合法博彩网站 is expected to decide its position on amendments to the Council's position on the draft EU budget for 2024. The Committee on Budgets (BUDG) has aligned its reading of the 2024 budget with its call for a revision of the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework (MFF). BUDG reverses all the Council's proposed reductions to the Commission's draft and proposes a considerable increase in commitments in the 2024 budget for 合法博彩网站's priorities: addressing ...

To support climate and environmental projects, the European Commission proposed a regulation on a European green bond standard in July 2021. This would establish an official EU standard for green bonds aligned with the EU taxonomy, based on a registration system and supervisory framework for external reviewers. A provisional political agreement reached between the 合法博彩网站 and Council is scheduled for a vote during the October I plenary session.

The interest rate cost of EU borrowing for non-repayable support, which lies with the EU budget, could be twice as high as what was initially estimated at the start of the EU鈥檚 2021-2027 budget cycle. This Bruegel paper finds that the European Commission鈥檚 issuance strategy can still be improved to reduce EU borrowing costs at the margin. It should also continue to work on building market infrastructures for EU bonds. Moreover if EU countries want to reap the full benefits of EU borrowing, some political ...

The ECB is now planning to run down its vast bond holdings acquired under the asset purchase programme ----- a 鈥樷�榪uantitative tightening鈥欌��. However, the ECB is not contemplating selling any bonds, only not reinvesting part of what is coming due. Under this approach, the continuing expansionary effect of keeping vast holdings remains large and is likely to complicate the fight against inflation. The ECB currently has two, fungible, policy instruments (policy rates and balance sheet operations), which ...

Confronted with a historic inflation surge, the ECB steps on the brake(s). While interest rate hikes are its primary tool, unconventional tools are also adjusted to strengthen the brake intensity. Quantitative tightening will reduce the stock of bonds in a slow process. The change from a scarce to an abundant reserve system will prevail. In contrast to previous monetary tightening cycles, in an abundant reserve system huge interest expenses result in central bank losses and fiscal costs for the coming ...

The Eurosystem is now reducing its bond holdings. Provided this is carried out in a measured way, it should not have a big impact on financial conditions or cause financial instability. The reduction is the correct policy because of legal problems with the Eurosystem owning so many sovereign bonds and because it provides space to implement the Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI) effectively. On the costs of operating a large balance sheet, the ECB should re-introduce its tiering system for compensation ...

While greater inflation may have led to some positive 鈥渇irst-round鈥� effects for banks, several negative 鈥渟econd-round鈥� impacts may occur, including: i) an increase in credit risk, affecting both families and companies, especially 鈥渉eavy energy users鈥�; ii) a drop in the value of fixed-rate assets held by lenders, including sovereign bonds; iii) liquidity pressures due to the ECB鈥檚 recent decision to increase the cost of its outstanding 3-year facilities and to greater competition for retail deposits ...
