Every spring, cows in Sweden get let out of the barn when it's warm enough after being indoors all winter.

In November 2023, we published a policy report on “Net Zero Central Banking in Africa’s Diverse Economies' with Joe Feyertag & Pierre Monnin. Given the large Francophone population in Africa including central banks, we have now published a French version: lnkd.in/ejhgqptG
