@pdegrauwe European stocks means banks, now back from the dead, and well diversified large multinationals with low exposure to the European economy. Much simpler explanation. 310 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@pdegrauwe Europe leads in energy transition? 200+ GW installed, generation fell from 542 TWh (1990) to ~501 TWh (2024). Redispatch: 16,000+ interventions, €3 billion/year. Markets don't price that. 69 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

The point made by Olivier @ojblanchard1 can be rephrased in stocks. A govt bond held by the CB is a claim of the CB on the govt and a liability of the govt vis-a-vis the CB.

@destandaard: "Belgische economie groeide voorbije jaar het traagst in eurozone". Maar groeiverschillen met andere trage groeiers zijn te klein om statistisch significant te zijn (F: -0,2, D: -0,4, Italië: -0,5). Toch gaat de krant op zoek naar economen die verschillen verklaren: 6.3K views · 26 likes · 6 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
