  • Risks, Resilience and Policy Responses to COVID-19 - Deputy Governor Sharon Donnery
    Risks, Resilience and Policy Responses to COVID-19 - Deputy Governor Sharon Donnery Risks, Resilience and Policy Responses to COVID-19 - Deputy Governor Sharon Donnery 17 June 2020 Speech Deputy Governor, Sharon Donnery, speaking at the IIEA, 17 June 2020 Introduction Good morning, it is a pleasure to address the Institute of International and European Affairs.1 Today I will speak about the macro nancial environment in Ireland amid Covid-19, the risks to Irish nancial stability, both domestic and international, the resilience of the economy and nancial system that was built up over the last decade, and the recent policy responses that we have taken at the Central Bank of Ireland and with our colleagues in Europe. The key message is that while we have built up resilience in the nancial system over the last decade, we have only seen the initial economic effects of the pandemic materialise so far. There remains signicant uncertainty on the path of the virus, the duration of the shock and the economic implications. Ensuring our policy responses promote a sustainable contribution from the nancial system so that it can absorb and not amplify the shock of COVID-19, will remain to the forefront of our minds at the Central Bank. COVID-19 - An exceptional shock COVID-19 is fundamentally different in nature and scope to previous economic shocks, certainly in my living memory. Firstly, this crisis is truly global. Unlike the 2008/2009 nancial crisis when some emerging markets acted as an engine of growth, today the pandemic is affecting all four corners of the world.

  • The Future of Payments in Ireland and Europe"
    Opening remarks by Deputy Governor Sharon Donnery - "The Future of Payments in Ireland and Europe" 28 April 2021 Speech View slides used during the presentation. Good afternoon and I am delighted to welcome you today (virtually) to the Central Bank for what promises to be a stimulating discussion on the future of payments in Ireland and Europe.1 One of the statutory objectives of the Central Bank of Ireland is to ensure that “payment, settlement, and currency systems are safe, resilient and efcient and that access to such systems is not restricted”. Financial stability, a core mandate of the Central Bank, is heavily supported by, and dependent on, the smooth functioning of the payments system. These two objectives are at the core of our work on payments, today and into the future. The payments system we use today, and innovations to come, are a far cry from what we were using when the Central Bank was established in 1943. However, the values of trust, resilience and access remain central to the safe delivery and functioning of our payments systems. Maintaining public trust in these systems is a cornerstone underpinning our mission to safeguard monetary and nancial stability and to protect consumers. This includes maintaining trust in traditional payment instruments, such as banknotes, and new digital means of payment, along with the underlying payment infrastructures and systems. Today I will rst consider the environment we are in; the changing payments landscape, referring both to the impact on consumer behaviour from the pandemic, but also the pre-existing trends in terms of speed of payments and innovation.

  • State Transformation and the European Integration Project Lessons from the Financial Crisis and the Greek Paradigm Evangelos Venizelos No
    State Transformation and the European Integration Project Lessons from the financial crisis and the Greek paradigm Evangelos Venizelos No. 130/February 2016 Abstract The financial crisis that erupted in the eurozone not only affected the EU’s financial governance mechanisms, but also the very nature of state sovereignty and balances in the relations of member states; thus, the actual inequalities between the member states hidden behind their institutional equality have deteriorated. This transformation is recorded in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the member states’ constitutional courts, particularly in those at the heart of the crisis, with Greece as the most prominent example. It is the issue of public debt (sovereign debt) of the EU member states that particularly reflects the influence of the crisis on state sovereignty as well as the intensely transnational (intergovernmental) character of European integration, which under these circumstances takes the form of a continuous, tough negotiation. The historical connection between public debt (sovereign debt) and state sovereignty has re-emerged because of the financial crisis. This development has affected not only the European institutions, but also, at the member state level, the actual institutional content of the rule of law (especially judicial review) and the welfare state in its essence, as the great social and political acquis of 20th century Europe. From this perspective, the way that the Greek courts have dealt with the gradual waves of fiscal austerity measures and structural reforms from 2010 to 2015 is characteristic. The effect of the financial crisis on the sovereignty of the member states and on the pace of European integration also has an impact on European foreign and security policy, and the correlations between the political forces at both the national and European level, thus producing even more intense pressures on European social democracy.

  • Eurogroup for Animals Response to the Consultation on the European Investment Bank Group's Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework
    Build Bank Better - Eurogroup for Animals response to the Consultation on the European Investment Bank Group's Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework 1. European Investment Bank Group as a standard setter We welcome the commitment of the European Investment Bank Group to develop their Environmental and Social Standards fit for the future and equip their staff and promoters in criteria to assess environmental, climate and social impacts and risks throughout EIB-financed projects to make economies more sustainable. Yet, we strongly believe that including animal welfare within the scope of the future EIB Group’s Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework is necessary to achieve this goal. As the biggest multilateral financial institution, the EIB is a standard setter and a guide for a number of financial institutions. As the EU’s bank, it is important for its activity and impact to reflect the current and future EU policies, as well as the global drive towards funding sustainable and forward looking projects and investments. This is of particular importance taking into account the European and worldwide scope of the EIB financial activities in question. The new EIB’s Group Environmental and Social Policy and Standards must comply not only with the Group's vision, but also with the up-to-date European Commission’s objectives and policies, which should be equally reflected in the European Investment Fund activities where the EIB and the European Commission are a majority shareholder. At the moment, the draft Policy and Standards are not ambitious enough and do not sufficiently cover the links between the sectors, taking more a mitigating and segmented than proactive and comprehensive approach.
