We find that banks experiencing large deposit outflows reduce credit, but not the interest rate they charge, to the same borrower relative to other lenders.
- We find that banks experiencing large deposit outflows reduce credit, but not the interest rate they charge, to the same borrower relative to other lenders.
- This credit restriction is stronger for fixed rate and longer maturity loans, but not for riskier borrowers.
Philip R. Lane: The economic outlook and monetary policy
Isabel Schnabel: From laggard to leader? Closing the euro area’s technology gap
This paper, by means of a DSGE model including heterogeneous firms and banks, financial frictions and prudential regulation, first shows the need of climate-related capital requirements in the existing prudential framework.
- This paper, by means of a DSGE model including heterogeneous firms and banks, financial frictions and prudential regulation, first shows the need of climate-related capital requirements in the existing prudential framework.
- We further show that relying on microprudential regulation alone would not be enough to account for the systemic dimension of transition risk.
Piero Cipollone: The euro at 25: what next for Economic and Monetary Union?
We document how gas price fluctuations have a heterogeneous pass-through to euro area prices depending on the underlying shock driving them.
- We document how gas price fluctuations have a heterogeneous pass-through to euro area prices depending on the underlying shock driving them.
- Supply shocks, moreover, are found to pass through to all components of euro area inflation – producer prices, wages and core inflation, which has implications for monetary policy.

- Full recycling through government investment yields the strongest output multiplier, whereas recycling through household transfers or reduced income taxes yields the lowest multiplier.
- During the transition, euro area macroeconomic variables respond very similarly if two-pillar or price level-targeting monetary policy rules are followed.

Following a workshop on ‘EU borrowing costs: drivers and dynamics - A comparative perspective’ for the Committee on Budgets took place on 22 May 20231, experts have estimated that yearly interest costs borne by the EU budget could increase quickly in the next few years to reach €10.8 billion. - Members requested the experts to deliver a follow-up briefing to provide detailed answers to a number of questions raised during the workshop.
- The authors of the briefing will elaborate on the main takeaways of the briefings and provide:
The authors of the briefing will elaborate on the main takeaways of the briefings and provide:
- an update of the spreads between the EU and other major European sovereign issuers,
- a projection of the total costs of the NGEU borrowing until 2058,
- an assessment of the adequacy between such a projection and the second batch of own resources,
- an evaluation of the savings resulting from a tentative tightening of the spreads,
- additional recommendations to reduce and optimise EU interest rate costs.

On 19 July 2023, Jorg Kristijan Petrovič, Member of the European Court of Auditors (ECA), will present the Special report 16/2023 "NGEU debt management at the Commission – An encouraging start, but further alignment with best practice needed" to the Members of the Committees on Budgets and on Budgetary Control. - This report finds that the new debt management system established for NextGenerationEU (NGEU) allowed the EU to borrow promptly from the capital markets, and provided the funds in good time.
- The Court, however, calls on the Commission to better measure and report how it manages the EU's debt in order for NGEU to be in line with international best practices.
Press release - EU revenue: a new start for EU finances, a new start for Europe
The Commission has already proposed a first batch of new own resources in 2021.
- The Commission has already proposed a first batch of new own resources in 2021.
- Background
In 2020, along with the current long-term EU budget (multi-annual financial framework 2021-2027), the EU institutions agreed on a legally binding roadmap introducing new sources of EU revenue. - On that basis, the plastics own resource, introduced in 2021, was the first new source of EU revenue since 1988.
- The Commission has confirmed that it will, as agreed in the roadmap, propose another basket of new own resources still this year, earlier than stipulated in the roadmap.
