It was a pleasure to join @mickbroecker.bsky.social & his colleagues in the #TableToday podcast. We covered a lot of ground: monetary policy and inflation, the impact of tariffs, the emergence of a new European growth narrative, and fiscal challenges, with the following key messages. 1/8

In a recent #ECBblog post, jointly with our Heads of Market Operations, Imène Rahmouni-Rousseau, we take stock of the implementation of the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) after we ended reinvestment at the end of 2024. 1/6

It was a great honour and pleasure to deliver this year’s #MaisLecture at @bayesbschool.bsky.social @citystgeorges.bsky.social in which I argued that financial literacy matters for monetary policy transmission. This is why central banks have increased their efforts to foster financial literacy. 1/22

Last year we announced our new #OperationalFramework. In an @ecb.europa.eu blog post, the Chair of the Supervisory Board Claudia Buch and I discuss the role that central bank operations are to play in banks' liquidity management under the operational framework. 1/7 www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/d...

Today I had another exchange with German-speaking economists on the challenges facing the German and euro area economy and what this implies for monetary policy @ecb.europa.eu. One focus was how to make sure that the German packages for defence and infrastructure will become a success. 1/3

Good news for researchers - don't miss out! We just launched a pilot project @ecb.europa.eu to share anonymised data on bank balance sheets and interest rates for loans and deposits in the euro area. 1/2 www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/dat...

Happy Women's Day! On this occasion I gave an interview to Wochentaz (today they call themselves frauentaz 😀), this time not related to monetary policy, but about women in general and me in particular. 1/2

Yesterday I delivered a speech with the title “No longer convenient? Safe asset abundance and r*” at the @bankofengland.bsky.social's #2025BEARconference. Let me summarise the main messages in a 🧵. 1/16

Many #ECB watchers have waited for this article. Chart A shows the huge model uncertainty surrounding the estimates. Adding parameter and filter uncertainty, data revisions and considering all models (not just those available for Q4 2024), you can see what we know about r* ... very little.

Tomorrow marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and we will gather at the @ecb to honour the memory of Holocaust victims, particularly those deported from the Großmarkthalle in Frankfurt, which forms part of our main building. 1/3

It is great to talk to young people and explain to them what we do. In our Visitor Centre, we have a small version of our Governing Council table, creating an authentic atmosphere. One surprise for me was that quite a few of the young people said they prefer using cash to cards. #ourECB #ECBandYou

It was great fun to join @finanztip.bsky.social for an interview on inflation, monetary policy and the economic challenges lying ahead (available on YouTube). Thanks to Saidi & his team for coming to the ECB, and for your work on improving #FinancialLiteracy, which also matters for monetary policy.

On Christmas Eve we are reminded that there is always hope for a more peaceful world. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas! We are thinking especially of those who are suffering and cannot celebrate in peace. ❤️🕊️⭐️🎄

In my speech “Navigating towards neutral”, delivered at the @cepr.org #ParisSymposium, I argue that monetary policy should proceed gradually towards neutral and remain data-dependent. Once price stability is restored, we can be more tolerant of moderate deviations from target. 1/22

After the horrible attacks, we in Europe stand firmly with the people of Israel. #StandWithIsrael 🇮🇱🤝🇪🇺

In a wide-ranging interview with the Croatian newspaper Jutarnji List, I talk about the inflation outlook, excess liquidity, minimum reserve requirements, recession risks, the role of wages and profits, fiscal policy and what all that means for our monetary policy. The full transcript is here:

>500 friendly followers - not bad! Just the #ECBsky is still quite empty. To have a discussion on monetary policy & financial markets we need some of those people here.

Welcome to my new followers on this platform, which looks quite promising. Today we indeed had a blue sky in Frankfurt, so I send you a picture of the place where I spend most of my time. Looking forward to fruitful exchanges! #ourECB #firstpost
