  • What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger: but Can the Same Be Said of the Eurozone?
    What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger: But Can the Same Be Said of the Eurozone? CAROLITE JENSEN* This comment provides a brief, analytical survey of the European sovereign debt crisis. It aims to be user-friendly and accessible to any reader who wants to learn more about the causes and consequences of Europe's ongoing troubles. Rather than focus on a particular country, the comment reviews the fiscal Eurozone and its banking system as a whole. It begins by explaining the key, long-term roots of the Eurozone's present problems. Then, it provides a critical commentary on attempted reforms, and an analysis of the events that have unfolded this past year. It concludes by evaluating the Eurozone's options for fiscal and structural reform going forward. I. Introduction The Eurozone sovereign debt crisis is a moving target. Among other things, its roots are traceable to the 2008 financial crisis, flawed political constructs, risky and dishonest business practices, and faulty economic models. To the lay observer trying to make sense of the crisis, the avalanche of news on politicians, banks, and private market players can overwhelm and obscure. But it is important to wrestle with and understand these issues. The collective Eurozone is one of the world's largest economies. The debt crisis is rapidly evolving, and whatever happens in the next few years, for good or for ill, will affect everyone. This paper tackles the issue from a particular angle. It discusses the more significant legal changes occurring within the banking sector in response to the crisis, as well as external legal changes that will impact the banking sector.

  • ECB: Unexpected Shake-Up Snap the German Member of the ECB’S Executive Board, Sabine Lautenschläger, Just Announced Her Resignation from Office by the End of October
    Economic and Financial Analysis 25 September 2019 ECB: Unexpected shake-up Snap The German member of the ECB’s Executive Board, Sabine Lautenschläger, just announced her resignation from office by the end of October ECB headquarters, Frankfurt This is another shake-up of the ECB. Sabine Lautenschläger has announced that she will resign from office by the end of October. Lautenschläger has been on the ECB’s Executive Board since 27 January 2014, when she succeeded Jörg Asmussen, who back then left the ECB for a position in the German government. Her eight-year term would normally end in January 2022. Lautenschläger has been mainly responsible for setting up the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). No reasons for her resignation were given in the press statement. So far, the motivation for her resignation is unclear. It may be due to personal reasons but perhaps also a protest against the ECB’s recent decision to engage in another round of monetary easing. The latter would fit into an almost typical German tradition as previous Executive Board member Jürgen Stark and Bundesbank President Axel Weber both stepped down in protest. Sabine Lautenschläger has been the most vocal and often the only member of the Executive Board to publicly criticise the ECB’s bond purchases. Some commentators had also expected her to be in the race for chair of the SSM, which eventually went to the Italian Andrea Enria. Lautenschläger will now be the fifth Executive Board member to resign before the official term ends. • The first ECB President Wim Duisenberg resigned in 2003 to make way for Jean-Claude Trichet • Lorenzo Bini Smaghi resigned in 2011, leaving only one Italian national on the Board after Mario Draghi had become president.

  • Perspectives and Implications for Financial Markets
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Tracking ECB’s communication: Perspectives and Implications for Financial Markets FORTES, Roberta and Le Guenedal, Theo December 2020 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/108746/ MPRA Paper No. 108746, posted 22 Jul 2021 06:50 UTC Tracking ECB’s Communication: Perspectives and implications for financial markets Roberta Fortes✯ Th´eo Le Guenedal∗ Ph.D. Candidate Quantitative Analyst Paris 1 Panth´eon-Sorbonne, Paris Amundi Asset Management, Paris December 2020 Abstract This article assesses the communication of the European Central Bank (ECB) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. We show the evolution of discourse over time and capture the main themes of interest for the central bank that go beyond its traditional mandate of maintaining price stability, enlightening main concerns and themes of discussion among board members. We also built sentiment signals compatible with any form of language, both formal and informal, an important step as the ECB aims to enhance communication with non-expert audiences. In a second step, we measure the impact of the ECB’s communication on the EUR/USD exchange rate. We found that our quantitative series, both topics and sentiment, improve financial-linked models consistently in all periods analyzed (2.5% on average). Meaningful signals comprise a broad range of subjects and vary in time. This suggests that overall ECB’s talk matters for asset prices, including themes not directly related to monetary policy. This result is particularly important in a context in which the ECB, as well as other major central banks, are moving towards integrating issues closer to the society into their scope of action, implying that subjects, which were considered peripheral, may become central.

  • 21St Century Cash: Central Banking, Technological Innovation and Digital Currencies*
    SUERF Policy Note Issue No 40, August 2018 21st century cash: Central banking, technological innovation and digital currencies* By Fabio Panetta1 Deputy Governor of the Bank of Italy JEL-codes: E42, E51, E58, G21, O33 . Keywords: technological progress, money, central banks, digital currency, payments system, financial stability, monetary policy, anonymity . Technological progress is allowing for the digitization of many objects of our daily life. Cash may be next in line. The paper analyses the pros and cons of issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a dematerialized liability of the central bank accessible by anyone in the economy. While recourse to a CBDC as a means of payments may well have benefits, their precise nature is uncertain and they may be too small to justify the introduction of a CBDC. A digital currency could increase financial instability risks, due to its potential effects on the demand for commercial bank deposits; however its impact on the banking system is unlikely to be disruptive. Overall the case for issuing a CBDC remains at best unclear. In addition, a digital currency introduces many open questions, like the role and footprint of central banks in the economy and the extent to which it should preserve anonymity in transactions. Especially the latter implies that the decision to issue a CBDC is hardly a technical one: society as a whole must be involved. * The Policy Note is based on a speech held by Fabio Panetta on the occasion of the SUERF/BAFFI CAREFIN Centre Conference on "Do we need central bank digital currency? Economics, Technology and Institutions" in Milan, on 7 June 2018.

If text passages from sources are used literally, they are marked as such. I confirm that this work is original and has not been submitted elsewhere for any examination, nor is it currently under consideration for a thesis elsewhere. Place and Date Signature Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Em. O. Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn Adolf Stepan for sharing his insight about institutional corruption.

I am also very grateful for my family and my girlfriend who provided support during the composition of this thesis, including quarantine days of Covid-19 pandemic. Kurzfassung Institutionelle Korruption ist ein Konzept, das entwickelt wurde, um schlecht funktionierende Organisationen aus einer neuen Perspektive zu analysieren. Organisationen können von ihrem Zweck abweichen und ihr öffentliches Vertrauen verlieren, obwohl es keine Anzeichen für individuelle Korruption gibt. Institutionelle Korruption tritt auf, wenn ein rechtlicher, sogar derzeit ethischer Einfluss die Wirksamkeit einer Organisation schwächt und ihr öffentliches Vertrauen schädigt.

  • Monetary Policy and the Independence of Central Banks: the Experience of the European Central Bank in the Global Crisis
    Università degli Studi di Verona Monetary policy and the independence of central banks: the experience of the European Central Bank in the global crisis Speech by Salvatore Rossi Senior Deputy Governor of the Bank of Italy Complesso universitario di Vicenza 19 November 2014 1. The independence of central banks in theory and in history1 We have been talking about the independence of central banks almost from the time of their inception. In an essay of 1824 David Ricardo accused the Bank of England, founded more than a century earlier, of submitting to the power of the executive. 2 Ricardo identified the three pillars of central bank independence: institutional separation of the power to create money from the power to spend it; a ban on the monetary funding of the State budget; and the central bank’s obligation to give an account of its monetary policy. Ricardo’s suggestions were taken up by the Brussels Conference of 1920, held under the aegis of the League of Nations with the aim of identifying the best policies to counter the economic and financial crisis that followed the First World War. Price stability was indicated as the primary objective of monetary policy but – as the Final Report of the conference maintained – if it was to be achieved, it had to be entrusted to central banks that were independent of their governments.3 These principles were forgotten for many years after the Second World War. The conviction that a certain degree of inflation was necessary to support employment and growth came to the fore in economic thought and in the minds of policy makers.
