Interview with La Repubblica

    Interview with Philip R. Lane, Member of the Executive Board of the ECB, conducted by Tonia Mastrobuoni on 14 November 2019

      • In Germany, even though manufacturing is taking a hit, the wider economy, the consumption-driven part of it, is still in good shape.
      • Theres no doubt that, compared with 2017, theres been a sustained slowdown, but in the euro area we dont see a recession.
      • Our baseline scenario is a recovery in economic performance, but we have been consistent in highlighting that theres also downside risk.
      • The OECD said recently that Donald Trumps erratic trade wars might be the main reason for the global downturn, because they discourage investments.
      • In recent weeks, compared with the worst-case scenario, theres been some optimism on the US-China trade relationship.
      • A deal has been agreed between the UK Government and the European Union, which of course will be tested in the next election.
      • The worst-case scenario of a no-deal Brexit in the short term has been eliminated and the uncertainty over it is fading.
      • But even under the deal there is going to be a more challenging economic relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU27.
      • There is a big discussion about the risk of a secular stagnation in Europe.
      • You rule out a recession in the short term, but do you see this risk of a Japanese scenario in the long term?
      • It remains a relevant discussion because the big question is: are we going to grow at a low rate of maybe 1% a year?
      • Essentially, if the policy choices by governments are more favourable to economic performance, then some of this stagnation fear may fade.
      • Do you mean countries that have a fiscal margin to use investments to boost growth, like Germany, should act?
      • This is one of the potential gains from being a member of the European Union.
      • We have seen many examples where, in a given country, there might have been an intense debate about a particular policy.
      • But then a number of years later we see that a country which adopted a particular policy is succeeding.
      • Once youre in the safe zone I think that fiscal policy can be conducted differently.
      • For a long time the overwhelming focus was on how to make sure the high debt levels came down.
      • But at some point that gear shift has to happen for those countries which have been successful.
      • And many highly qualified young people choose France or Sweden or Germany because they earn much more.

    NEW YORK, May 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 263,000 in April, making it difficult to argue for an employment slowdown in recent months.

    Key Points: 
    • NEW YORK, May 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 263,000 in April, making it difficult to argue for an employment slowdown in recent months.
    • The strong recovery in temporary-help employment, one of the best leading indicators of the labor market, further reduces the risk of an employment slowdown.
    • In such an economic environment, and considering the stagnation in working-age population growth, it is not surprising that the labor market continues to tighten.
    • The recovery in the US economy and the ongoing labor market squeeze are likely to further shift the Federal Reserve away from considering a rate cut in 2019.

    Whereas we have seen a strong acceleration in GDP growth over the past two years, from about 1.5 percent to about 3.5 percent, employment growth barely accelerated at all.

    Key Points: 
    • Whereas we have seen a strong acceleration in GDP growth over the past two years, from about 1.5 percent to about 3.5 percent, employment growth barely accelerated at all.
    • That means that the long-awaited improvement in productivity growth has finally arrived, at least for now.
    • Still, the current employment growth is more than enough to continue tightening the labor market.
    • We expect economic growth to remain strong in the coming year, leading to more of the same: solid employment growth that will continue to tighten the labor market and draw more people back into the labor force.
