IMF MD says #Trump tariffs “clearly represent a significant risk to the global outlook at a time of sluggish growth.” Restrained wording, set to harden when members gather for upcoming spring meetings. Keep a lookout for the #WEO. https://t.co/0ZGOdFdgHq

#MEF annuncia nuovo sito. Dice che è “working progress”. Forse intende “work in progress”? Ma che lo dica in italiano… https://t.co/0x9mIgscJN

My wife figured it out:

@IMFNews E brava @StefaniaFabriz4!

[Alessandro Leipold @ALeipold]

@SilviaBerzoni Oh yes, quite overtaken by events. But not really a Black Swan, as the latter (cf Nassim Taleb) “is an outlier.. outside the realm of regular expectations, b/c nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility.” In truth, the past could well point to this possibility.

Grim (but sadly realistic) piece by @sobel_mark on the “somber affair” of the Marrakech IMF-WB meetings. One big cloud is “America’s disgraceful political dysfunction” - a significant (though certainly not the only) obstacle to needed reforms. @OMFIF https://t.co/cRVRbq2LlZ

“The strategies that ensured Europe’s prosperity and security in the past—reliance on America for security, on China for exports and on Russia for energy—have become insufficient, uncertain or unacceptable.”

Hard-hitting @lisboncouncil critique of @ThierryBreton’s “retro vision, taking Europe back to the future” in telco regulation, seen as “seeking answers in Europe’s murky, un-liberalised telco past.” By @kkomaitis and @PaulHofheinz. https://t.co/xqbpRKPYFQ

@BrettEHouse @rglenner @BirkbeckUoL Likewise!

Love it: “Stan the Man.” Nice piece by @RobinWigg.

@agnesbq1 @DGTresor @banquedefrance Felicitations! The Trésor’s loss, the BdF’s gain!

.@FTAlphaville on day after the drop-dead debt ceiling date: “There is unlikely to be a big bang either in markets or the economy. But if a financial crash doesn’t happen it might make matters worse by emboldening the holdouts in Congress.” Bold they are. https://t.co/GcQQ94o5Zf

And “Thoughts and Prayers” are also off the chart.

Clinging at straws.
⁦@PaoloGentiloni⁩: “For me, this is good news & I will work to give the news positive development.”
The good news? Germany’s commitment to discuss proposed new EU fiscal rules constructively despite clear differences of opinion. https://t.co/4nAcZKqZki

[Alessandro Leipold @ALeipold]

The view from Elliott Capital et al. “The root causes of sovereign debt defaults: corruption, weak governance & domestic institutions, refusal to forego borrowings in foreign currencies.”
Then why lend to them in the first place? https://t.co/JPpiZepn61

[Carlo Cottarelli @CottarelliCPI]

Presenterò un disegno di legge affinché nei programmi elettorali sia indicato il costo delle misure promesse dai partiti e relative coperture (compreso eventuale deficit). Forse non andrà lontano ma migliorerebbe la trasparenza della politica. Se concordate ritweettate per favore
