Democratic legitimacy It is, indeed, elected politicians who are primarily responsible for addressing climate change. Independent central banks are not to take their place but the ECB and the national central banks are to support the economic policies in the EU with a view to contributing to the Union’s objectives, several of which clearly relate to sustainability issues, including: sustainable development, a high level of protection and improvement of the quality of the environment, solidarity between generations. With the Union’s politicians (European Council,1 Commission2 and Parliament3) clearly choosing an active pro-climate stance, the Eurosystem is Treaty-bound to support these preferences so long as this can be matched with providing price stability, its primary objective.4 For the need to include the issue of climate change in the ECB’s monetary policy’s primary mandate, without relying on the secondary objective, I refer to Isabel Schnabel’s speeches last summer,5 and to Frank Elderson in his recent Blogpost.6 (Further arguments for greening 1 See the conclusions of the 12-13 December 2019 meeting (“EU leaders endorsed the objective of making the EU climate-neutral by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement.

  • The Question of Who Succeeds Jean-Claude Trichet
    Gunfight at the ECB Corral The question of who succeeds Jean-Claude Trichet. urope’s eleven-year-old monetary union is still being tested by skeptical investors and markets. It was barely saved by a €750 ($955) billion rescue plan that European Union leaders B Y K LAUS C. ENGELEN put together in May of this year. Although the immediate danger of Greece—or other eurozone member countries like Portugal or Spain— defaulting seems to have been averted, the pressure from markets to cut public deficits, stabilize banks, and reform economies remains. A look at the interest rates and insurance premia that financially Eweak eurozone countries have to pay on their new sovereign debt issues makes it clear that the crisis is not over. A year of major challenges for the sixteen-member eurozone is in store, with an uncertain outcome. For Europe’s central bankers and policymakers, one of those challenges is to rebuild confidence in the euro and its guardian, the European Central Bank. Since the ECB joined the international rescue of Greece and other financially weak nations on Europe’s southern periphery and announced that it would indef- initely accept those countries’ debt as collateral regardless of credit rating, the ECB, its President Jean-Claude Trichet, and its governing council have been con- fronted with a credibility crisis. “Trust in the ECB, as measured by the standard Eurobarometer (and other) sur- veys, has fallen to an unprecedented low—especially in the larger euro area coun- THE MAGAZINE OF tries,” concludes a major empirical study by Daniel Gros and Felix Roth of the INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY Centre for European Policy Studies.
