Johan Rockström from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research joined us at the ECB today.

I was fascinated to learn more about planetary boundaries, the scientific framework he and others developed. We discussed how climate risks affect price and financial stability.

The international role of the euro cannot be a secondary question.

It is central to Europe’s ability to turn the euro from a safe-haven currency into a truly global currency, and to turn our weaknesses into lasting benefits.

Members of our Executive Board and Supervisory Board welcomed representatives from @europarl.europa.eu’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and discussed various economic and banking supervision topics.

Our regular dialogue is key to ensuring our accountability to Europeans.

What's the future of the euro as a global currency? Why does the ECB care about climate change? And why is gender diversity in central banking progressing so slowly?

Just some of the tough questions students asked me in a Q&A hosted by College Leaders in Finance www.youtube.com/watch?v=j14B...

I spoke at @dnb-nl.bsky.social's symposium in honour of Klaas Knot.

Klaas has had a remarkable career in public service at the national, European and global levels.

In my speech, I focused on the two themes that have defined his career: monetary policy and financial stability link.europa.eu/f3BXWj

Policymakers should adapt regulation and supervision to a changing environment, says President Christine Lagarde.

They should do so not by lowering standards for banks, but by levelling them up for non-banks that are involved in bank-like activities www.ecb.europa.eu/press/key/da...

The ECB is in a good place today, but that place is not fixed. We must sustain it with agility, humility and a firm grounding in the data.

This was my message at the Bank of Finland’s Monetary Policy Conference.

Kiitos to Olli Rehn and @suomenpankki.fi for the excellent event.

We can take comfort in having overcome a large inflation shock after the pandemic, and in how the economy has coped so far with an upheaval in trade relations, says President Christine Lagarde. And yet, we must remain alert to the possible new shocks that may still lie ahead link.europa.eu/hj9PRc

Today, the European School Frankfurt and the children’s charity EuroKids opened new portable buildings to address the school’s lack of space.

While this is an important step, the City of Frankfurt still needs to find a new permanent home for the school.

Europe must safeguard its independence by managing dependencies.

Only by restoring strategic balance can Europe prevent these dependencies from leading to cycles of coercion.
