Thanks to 🇨🇦 for a great G7 Presidency. I commend François-Philippe Champagne on his stewardship and on keeping #G7 united. I provided an update on the 🇪🇺 Leaders’ decision to mobilise € 90bn to cover 2/3 of 🇺🇦’s financing needs for 2026 & 2027. I invited our partners to do their part.

✅️ ES līderu vienošanās par papildu finansējumu Ukrainai 90 miljardu eiro apmērā ir ļoti būtiska šajā izšķirīgajā brīdī. Tas ļaus 🇺🇦 turpināt cīnīties par savu brīvību, kā arī taisnīgu un ilgtspējīgu mieru. 🇪🇺 turpina nelokāmi atbalstīt Ukrainu cīņā pret agresoru Krieviju.

✅️ The 🇪🇺 EU has secured further financial support of €90 bn for 🇺🇦 Ukraine. Today’s decision at #EUCO is a testament to the EU’s unwavering commitment to stand by Ukraine until just & lasting peace is secured. It’s also critical for the EU’s own security. #StandWithUkraine

“Proportionality and SME concerns must be properly addressed - this is becoming part of the @ec.europa.eu's regulatory culture”. In our Vision 2040 conference interview, EVP @valdisdombrovskis.ec.europa.eu explained how the SME Test is increasingly shaping #EU lawmaking. #SMEVision2040 #SMEs

Congratulations Kyriakos Pierrakakis on your election as #Eurogroup President! You take office at a pivotal moment for the euro area and the 🇪🇺 EU. I look forward to working closely with you to advance our work on key economic and financial priorities, strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.

Apsveicu Ministru Prezidenti @evikasilina.bsky.social ar 🇱🇻 2026.g. budžeta pieņemšanu. Gandarījums, ka tas atbilst ES 🇪🇺 fiskālās disciplīnas noteikumiem. Pārrunājām @ec.europa.eu priekšlikumus 🇺🇦 finansējumam, Attīstības & noturības plāna ieviešanu un darbu pie birokrātijas mazināšanas

⚠️ Major news: the @ec.europa.eu proposes to add Russia to the #AML/CFT list of high-risk third countries. This is a key step to ensure EU financial and non-financial operators apply stricter checks when dealing with Russian entities. link.europa.eu/G7Kvcg

⚠️ Būtisks solis: Eiropas Komisija ierosina iekļaut Krieviju augsta riska trešo valstu sarakstā attiecībā uz noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizāciju un terorisma finansēšanu. ES finanšu un nefinanšu iestādēm būs jāveic daudz stingrākas pārbaudes jebkādos darījumos ar Krieviju.

Today, the @ec.europa.eu presents its proposals to secure financing for Ukraine so that it can defend their homeland. A Reparations Loan option would ensure that Russia pays for its aggression and the damages it has caused. My remarks ▶️ link.europa.eu/WHDMJQ

🇪🇺 Eiropas Komisija nāk klajā ar priekšlikumiem 🇺🇦 Ukrainas finansēšanai, tostarp reparāciju aizdevumu, kas paredz izmantot saistībā ar Krievijas aktīvu imobilizāciju uzkrātos līdzekļus, lai finansiāli un militāri atbalstītu Ukrainu. Agresoram Krievijai ir jāmaksā par savu karu.

Important discussion with Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine’s Minister of Defence, on 🇺🇦’s peace process, EU financial support, and the strengthening of anti-corruption reforms. The 🇪🇺 is advancing work on financing options, including the reparations loan. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

✅️ Latvijas 2026. gada budžeta plāns Eiropas pusgada rudens paketē ir atzīts kā atbilstošs 🇪🇺 ES fiskālajiem noteikumiem. Turpmāk 🇱🇻 jāfokusējas uz ekonomikas izaugsmi veicinošām reformām, kas palīdzēs kāpināt budžeta ienākumus, lai finansētu prioritārās investīcijas. @finansuministrija.bsky.social

Congratulated 🇲🇩 PM Alexandru Munteanu on his appointment and expressed support for Moldova’s European path. We discussed the economic situation and the importance of reforms, as resilient economies better withstand any pressure. We continue to support Moldova’s 🇪🇺 integration.

🇱🇻 Valsts proklamēšanas 107. gadadienā godinām tos, kuri dibinājuši, veidojuši mūsu skaisto Latviju un sargā tās brīvību. Mūsu uzdevums ir šo darbu turpināt ar vislielāko atbildību – stiprinot valsts drošību un veicinot izaugsmi. Saules mūžu Latvijai!

The 🇪🇺 EU economy has performed better than expected this year, with GDP set to grow by 1.4% in both 2025 and 2026. But high uncertainty and risks remain, so we must focus on domestic growth-boosting reforms. link.europa.eu/ThMmYY #ECForecast

☑️ Welcome the political agreement found between the European Parliament and Council yesterday on our #CAP simplification package. 🌾 As promised, this will make rules and funding easier to navigate for EU farmers and national administrations, delivering tangible reduction of administrative burden.

At the High-Level Conference 'Bulgaria on the Doorstep of the Eurozone' I had the privilege of discussing the opportunities of 🇧🇬's upcoming accession to the 💶 area, such as: ▶️Reinforced stability ▶️Strengthened resilience ▶️More growth Thank you for the rich exchange.

🇲🇩 Congratulations to Moldova on its new government, reflecting a strong mandate for the 🇪🇺 EU path ahead. The EU will keep working with Moldova on Single Market integration and economic reforms to advance enlargement. We stand firmly with #Moldova on its road to the Union.

I welcome the @ecb.europa.eu Governing Council’s decision to move ahead with the next phase of the #digitaleuro. As 🇪🇺 EU leaders clearly stated at the recent Euro Summit: “the digital euro offers a strategic opportunity for supporting a competitive and resilient European payment system”.

Gutes Treffen mit dem Präsidenten der 🇩🇪 @bundesbank.de Joachim Nagel. Wir haben über die Vereinfachungsagenda gesprochen und waren uns über die Notwendigkeit klarer und verhältnismäßiger Regeln für den Finanzsektor einig.

Good exchange with Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger at #BGD2025 on strengthening the EU’s defence capabilities. 📌 We agreed on the need to accelerate this effort and discussed how to better enable investment and streamline rules to support it.

Ankunft in Berlin zum Berlin Global Dialogue #BGD2025 und zu Gesprächen mit 🇩🇪 Regierungsvertretern und Unternehmern. Die 🇪🇺 EU muss jetzt ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit stärken, Bürokratie abbauen und die Verteidigung ausbauen – Deutschland spielt dabei eine Schlüsselrolle.

I welcome the adoption of the 🇪🇺 EU's 19th sanctions package. We are taking another significant step to ramp up the pressure on Russia as the aggressor. Great to also see strong new sanctions by our 🇺🇸 US allies to force Russia to stop the war. Peace through strength.

Simplification, better implementation and stronger enforcement make 🇪🇺 EU rules work better for our citizens and businesses. ✅ Discover the progress already achieved by DG ECFIN and Eurostat in my Annual Report: link.europa.eu/DbqWCt

Europe has led in supporting Ukraine since the first day of Russia’s aggression. At @europarl.europa.eu plenary debate, I explained the next steps, including on a Reparations Loan funded by the cash balances of immobilised Russian Central Bank assets. My remarks ▶️ link.europa.eu/jcJhWb

A competitive Europe needs rules that are simple, smart and effective. ✅ The @ec.europa.eu is turning this ambition into reality. Now we need to keep up the momentum. 📌 Read my remarks on the simplification report and our Work Programme for 2026 ▶️ link.europa.eu/PWXCTj

#IMF2025 - it’s a wrap! Rich + varied week of meetings with economic policymakers, business leaders + think tankers. My messages 👉 🇪🇺 is serious about competitiveness and security 👉 🇪🇺 remains steadfast in our support of 🇺🇦 in its brave battle against the Russian aggressor.

Times are tough but the 🇱🇻 🇺🇸 bond is strong - we can bring this enduring friendship to bear to develop innovative defence solutions. This was my message at today’s Spotlight Latvia event organised by 🇱🇻🇺🇸Chamber of Commerce My remarks 👉 link.europa.eu/bxwW3d

Great to be back in Washington DC for IMF Annual Meetings. No better way to start the week than by touching base with 🇺🇦 PM Yulia Svyrydenko and her team. I updated them on our work on reparations loan. Our support for 🇺🇦is unwavering.

Lai Eiropā “iesaldētie” Krievijas līdzekļi tiktu nodoti Ukrainai, Eiropas Komisija virza tā saukto “reparāciju aizdevuma” projektu. Par precīzu summu vēl tiks lemts, be tie varētu būt līdz 140 miljardiem eiro, prognozē eirokomisārs Valdis Dombrovskis. 🖥️ youtu.be/QgPfCfO6gHU

The EU will urge its G7 allies to use Russian frozen assets to issue their own reparation loans to Ukraine when the group’s finance ministers gather in Washington next week, according to the bloc's economy chief Valdis Dombrovskis.

The global economy is facing growing geopolitical challenges. To stay strong, we must boost the competitiveness of the 🇪🇺 EU economy. At the #RigaConf2025, we discussed opening new markets, closing the innovation gap, cutting red tape, and investing in European industry.

Heading to the Riga Conference to discuss two main topics: 📌 boosting the EU’s competitiveness and 📌 the Reparations Loan initiative to finance 🇺🇦 Ukraine. At #RigaConf2025, I will also address geopolitical challenges and the EU’s support for 🇱🇻 Latvia and the Baltic region.
