How should the @ecb.europa.eu communicate in a climate of #newsavoidance, #disinformation and deliberate undermining of #trust in #public #institutions? Big questions & great discussion on #centralbank #communication with our guests from @dezernatzukunft.bsky.social @philippasigl.bsky.social

"We'll do whatever is needed to make sure that we stay in a good place" - nicely frames todays' decision by @ecb.europa.eu to keep #interestrates on hold. Find out what's behind it and how we see the #economy and #inflation developing - in #plainlanguage & accessible terms. 👇 👇 👇

Insightful text and a real pleasure to read!

Still in a good place" - with #inflation around 2%, the ECB kept #interestrates unchanged. Tensions around world are holding the #economy back for now, but there is momentum for #growth next year. Check out our effort to #explain what's behind the decision - in #plainlanguage & accessible terms.

Stablecoins are reshaping global finance – with the US dollar at the helm. Without a strategic response, European monetary sovereignty and financial stability could erode. However, in this disruption there is also an opportunity for the euro to emerge stronger europa.eu/!YvcQfh

With #inflation stabilising at 2%, the @ecb.europa.eu's #interestrates are "in a good place" & remain unchanged. Better to wait & see how #trade tensions evolve & what that means for the #economy. Check out what's behind the #decision - visually & in #plainlanguage. 👉🔗https://shorturl.at/iDgOY

The recent assessment of the #monetarypolicy strategy of the @ecb.europa.eu tackled many complex #challenges of our economies. But even those can be made #accessible: a single picture says more than 1000 words. Was fun to work with cartoonist Miriam Wurster to create these. Check them out below 🧵

"Regimes seem enduring - until they no longer are." Could the current shift in the global #order herald a “global #euro” moment for #Europe? Yes, but only if a more #UnitedEurope takes greater control of its own destiny - which would allow the #euro to play a larger global role. on.ft.com/449uiql

Another 1/4 % #interestrate cut & with the @ecb.europa.eu feeling "in a good position to navigate the #uncertainty" that surrounds us in the world economy. Check out what is behind the decision and how we see the #economy & #inflation developing - in understandable terms and #plainlanguage. 👇

Why #tariffs are like hot potatoes 🥔... a little #explanation on #EspressoEconomics served by @ecb.europa.eu. Check it out: 📽️👉 www.youtube.com/shorts/qLLSp... www.youtube.com/watch?v=umMa...

#Celebrating #Europe together with the people of #Frankfurt: at #EuropaFest2025 in the city & at the Main Building of the @ecb.europa.eu, beautifully illuminated for #EuropeDay. Great fun & very enriching - not just for our guest (I hope 🤞) - but certainly also for us!

Marking #EuropeDay at the @ecb.europa.eu 🇪🇺💪

Going #BacktoSchool and talk about #Europe; the #euro and the @ecb.europa.eu is an inspiring #challenge. Engaging with with 16-year olds in my hometown #Leipzig was fun also thanks to our Espresso Economics 📽️ & #Kahoot quizzes 👉 www.youtube.com/@Espresso_Ec... 👉 create.kahoot.it/profiles/6e4...

Bringing #Europe home: Am looking forward to returning to my hometown #Leipzig as part of the "Europe-Week" programme to discuss: 👉#Tariffs, #Debts, #Crypto: how can the #EU & the #euro stand up?" Big questions in search of answers - will be there to offer the @ecb.europa.eu perspective.

Another #interestrate cut from the @ecb.europa.eu yesterday: action rather than ‘wait-and-see’ as the #economy has to cope with a world in turmoil. Check out how we see the economy evolving and what’s behind today’s decision - in accessible form. 👇 www.ecb.europa.eu/press/press_...

Is ‘less’ indeed ‘more’ in #centralbank #communication? Quite possibly so – when the @ecb.europa.eu communicates with #financialmarkets. This year's #ecbwatchers conference remains a place for “intellectual curiosity to challenge conventional wisdom”, as noted by @president.ecb.europa.eu Lagarde.

#Uncertainty is the key word when trying to understand what’s going on in our #economy & yesterday’s #monetarypolicy decision of the @ecb.europa.eu. Check out our efforts to help #explain - in #plainlanguage. 👇

High time it was! And reason to "celebrate Germany’s move back towards providing the economic, political and defensive leadership Europe needs." "Germany’s reawakening is above all a sign that a crisis is prompting Europe to come together once again". www.ft.com/content/ea05...

Was a pleasure to be a guest again 🎙️. Do have a listen 🎧 👇.

Today marks the third anniversary of Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine. We continue to stand with the people of Ukraine, who have been suffering through this horrific aggression.

🎧 New #ECBPodcast episode!🎙️Curious about what it takes to join the @ecb.europa.eu? How #interestrates & the #price of #credit affects people & businesses?

Ahhhh, those old romantics at the @ecb.europa.eu 😉🤣❤️

#Interestrates are coming down by a further 1/4 percentage pointt because #inflation is on track to settle around our the @ecb.europa.eu's 2️⃣% target. Check out our efforts to explain in accessible terms what's behind our latest #monetarypolicy decision and how we see the #economy evolving. 👇

#Inflation, #interestrates, #growth, #crypto, #tariffs, #climatechange, #careers, etc. - so much to discuss! Enjoyed a lively exchange with the #students of the @frankfurtschool.bsky.social during their recent visit to @ecb.europa.eu

'Getting through' to people when communicating complex information - that's a challenge also for @ecb.europa.eu. Happy to bring in #research insights from @mcmahonecon.bsky.social & Siria Angino at an #ECB seminar on how to craft better communication & real narratives that help people understand.

Accompanying the #journey towards the #EuropeanUnion - that's how I felt when welcoming over 100 students from the University of #Kyiv at the @ecb.europa.eu. We discussed what the #ECB is & does, how the #economy & #inflation are developing & other topics, e.g. #greentransition or #crypto assets.
