An extraordinarily crazy statement with some seriously troublesome logic.

I wrote a Handelsblatt column on why reformed EU fiscal rules are set to underestimate the negative growth effects of fiscal consolidation, so that public debt ratios may turn out higher than expected. Based on our previous study on Debt Sustainability Analysis in EU fiscal rules

It's still incredible that other EU countries continue to tolerate Ireland's "beggar-thy-neighbour" corporate tax haven. The corporate tax revenue that allows for the Irish budget surplus implies revenue losses in other EU countries. x.com/livfletcher_/s…

May I add a broader perspective after having listen to Macron’s opening and discussion with Röller and Stephanie Flanders at the Berlin Global Dialogue: It’s rare to hear a head of state lay out the challenges, and prescribe the preferred responses as persuasively as Macron

I haven’t yet seen Trump comment on today’s job numbers. Did I miss it, or is he still thinking about it?

Johnson thought Brexit was a debating competition. He is beyond contempt

I question this report. I was at the Berlin Global Dialogue as well, including at Macron’s session. He characterised the disagreement with Germany on EV tariffs as just one small issue, and proceeded to list a host of grander issues on which they agree. (And Scholz wasn’t there)

If you vote illegally, you go to jail. If you vote legally, Trump goes to jail. Are we all clear on this?

In today’s Sunday Wrap I summarise my impressions from the Berlin Global Dialogue, where >1000 politicians and CEOs met to build common ground on the big global issues. I left Berlin more uplifted wrt Europe than I have been in a long while research.unicredit.eu/DocsKey/econom…

I believe him. The outline is close enough to create the needed narrative.

Great picture. Erich Honecker seems completely oblivion to what would hit him just 5 weeks later.

Seems to me 70 would be a great age to stop running countries and head for the beach instead.

I’m sure they hear him - also over in the Statistics office.
