Let's be clear. Buying American weapons is a real risk to European security at this point due to political interference. Actually, it's an issue to anyone in the world relying on top US military equipment. Cc @jakluge.de

In the pandemic timeline, we are now in early April 2020. This is when the Commission put SURE on the table (and around the same time, the fiscal rules were unplugged). Five weeks later, Macron and Merkel put NGEU on the table. This is where this should be headed eventually as well.

Well, as America implodes from within, it’d be a *great* time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It’d likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security build up! 🇪🇺💶 ‼️

Lots of over-engineered debt brake proposals around. Nothing easy off the shelf. Except….

….Just getting rid of it.

Fits really well in the spirit of deregulation, folks, come on!

One regulation less. Beautiful. And less duplicative because we have EU fiscal rules!

Cela semble absurde, et j’ai été choqué la première fois que je l’ai compris, mais la France – il n'y a pas d'autre mot – est bien un paradis fiscal pour milliardaire

Deindustrialisation angst grips Germany.

In a new study, Brad Setser and I unpack how badly Germany's trading relationship with China has backfired, and how its industry might weather the second China shock.

🇫🇷 is now spending around 4% on interest payments.

Here’s a crazy fact for you: Spain and Germany have now seen basically the exact same amount of economic growth post-2008. Would have been unthinkable to people during most of the 2010s. Spain has seen ~10 percentage points more cumulative growth since 2017.
