Eurozone public debt has stabilized 5ppts of GDP above the pre-pandemic level. But this masks strong divergence among member states - a historic deleveraging in 🇬🇷🇨🇾🇵🇹🇭🇷🇳🇱 versus worrying dynamics in 🇫🇷🇫🇮.

In a real single energy market, that would also have an effect on energy prices in South East Europe. And yet...

Wait until FT looks at growth rates in Central and Eastern Europe. Which, coincidentally, is the missing part of the #Draghi report.

'Since 2020, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece have on average expanded by 1.3 per cent a year... Germany had no increase in economic activity at all over the past four years, and the Bundesbank has warned that this stagnation may drag on well into 2025'

The most underappreciated benefit of economic growth is that without it, the economy becomes a zero-sum game. The only way of improving your standard of living is at the expense of someone else. Predictably, recent generations, who have seen slower growth, are more prone to zero-sum thinking.

As someone who had experienced poverty and failed harvests, his uncomplicated aim was to help those in need. But he never found a consistent strategy for doing so while in office https://t.co/IJhSDlqWUj

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need.

Very happy to see Romania and Bulgaria fully joining the Schengen area.

Congratulations to both countries.

United we are stronger.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Next stop: full Schengen accession.

We welcome the decision of the @EUCouncil giving green light to Romania and Bulgaria to fully join the Schengen family.

"Europeans need to think less about policy details, and more about power. " Public policy vs power politics is indeed not a clean fight. https://t.co/1aJ4Dlm7sF via @FT

Minister for European Affairs of Hungary @JanosBoka_HU notified amendments to the Act on Public Interest Trusts. This notification does not relate to the frozen Cohesion & RRF funds. It’s not quite what we were hoping for.

[Европейска комисия @ECinBulgaria]

ЕК одобри българска схема за държавна помощ от 590 млн. евро за подпомагане на инвестициите в съоръжения за съхранение на електроенергия.

Чрез схемата ще се добавят най-малко 3 GWh нови съоръжения за съхранение на енергия, което ще подпомогне прехода към нулеви нетни емисии.

Good @MESandbu on finding the money to make Europe great again. Also a key role for finding new own resources I would venture. https://t.co/hd7SE5XnrV via @FT

[Ivaylo Iaydjiev @Iaydjiev]

Great, albeit macro, article. Crucial: "Another factor that exaggerates cost...is failure to consider counterfactual in which decarbonisation does not take place". No good old status quo to return to, exactly why eg. 🇧🇬 #JustTransitionPlans are necessary!
