"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice" Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.

Good conversation with World Bank President Ajay Banga. We discussed the importance of the World Bank in the current geopolitical context. We count on the World Bank to continue to be a world leader promoting reforms, partnerships and mobilising the private sector.

So Von der Leyen can stop trying to reason with the straightjacketed in chief and start reacting accordingly? #ditchUSA #EUoneconsumermarket

In this @intereconomics.bsky.social paper, I share thoughts on the EU deregulatory strategy in tech. Currently there is confusion on what regulation wants to achieve: efficiency or value distribution. Without clarity, deregulation is necessarily suboptimal www.intereconomics.eu/contents/yea...

A proposal for a Eurobond by #Blanchard and #Ubide @piie.com : here is what I agree with and why I disagree overall with their proposal. (1) Agree: Yes, if we want to offer an alternative to the US$, we need to talk of large European debt. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

As safe assets become scarcer, banks increasingly rely on securitisation to produce safe assets, relaxing screening standards in the process. This lowers loan quality and undermines financial stability. Madalen Castells-Jauregui @ecb.europa.eu cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Press Corner #3 coming in a bit. Shorter than usual - aside from Merz giving the greenlight to Ukraine for long range attacks inside Russian land, and the unfortunately usual war crimes by Israel, the spotlight is for the remarkable results of the opposition in the Sunday-Monday local elections.

Globalisation & 'regression to the mean' should be taken seriously, alongside #inflation targeting adoption, as explanations for low inflation from 1989-2021. Inflation targeting must evolve to survive & maintain credibility. S S. Bhalla, K Bhasin, P Loungani cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Press Corner #2 - Italian media landscape split between ME war and reactions to Trump's hobby, shorting the global market. More in comments. In relation to the former, la Repubblica gives ample coverage to a planned nationwide demonstration from the opposition PD-AvS-M5S to take place in Perugia.

The Fed may take some comfort from seeing that tariffs have to yet materially boosted official measures of inflation
