I was delighted to meet @Lagarde. A remarkable woman and a true role model, she inspires me with her strength, wisdom and kindness. Thank you for your words of encouragement, that means a lot to me. Merci infiniment!
My warm congratulations to Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford on being awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics!
Your research on economic stabilisation has greatly improved our understanding of people's economic decisions and strengthened the foundations for effective policy.
2026 economic sciences laureate Michael Woodford’s economic model has made it possible to respond to supply shocks more effectively.
Various types of shocks can disrupt the balance between supply and demand. A negative supply shock could be a commodity shortage, while a positive supply shock could be a technological breakthrough that makes the production of large volumes cheaper and easier. A positive demand shock could be good news about the future that increases households’ consumption, and a negative one the opposite news. If the balance is disrupted, it can be reset using a stabilisation policy that reduces demand (to the left) or increases it (to the right).

People often choose Frankfurt for career opportunities, but stay for its quality of life and sense of community. Culture helps make a city feel like home. It certainly does for me.
This was my main message at the panel discussion at the Season Opening of the Alte Oper.
“And I’m dedicating that not only to my grandchildren, but to all girls that are keen to progress professionally.”
Looking forward to reading the book🫶
Beyond the monetary policy discussion, a few words from @Lagarde press conference yesterday:
“[…] how a little girl coming from nowhere can become someone, without necessarily having been born in the right family, having had enough money, or going to the right schools.”
Europe faces a choice: who we are, and who we rely on.
That was my main message tonight at a dinner with German President Steinmeier, hosted by the Deutsche Bundesbank.

Had an enjoyable day at the Paris-CEPR policy forum starting with an excellent meeting with the new Governor of @banquedefrance@moulinem, then recorded a podcast with ECB chief economist Philip Lane, and later delivered a keynote on global imbalances,
I borrowed a line from Bertrand Russell: that the challenge we face is learning « how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralysed by hesitation. » Christine Lagarde

Tariff shocks can lead to short-run recessions, as consumers both at home and abroad postpone purchases. These recessions outweigh the traditional welfare effects of tariffs, from @a_auclert, Matthew Rognlie, and @ludwigstraub https://t.co/Yrxfx93c84
„Die bisherigen Beratungen zeigen, dass es möglich ist, Stabilität und Zukunftsfähigkeit gleichermaßen Rechnung zu tragen“, sagt Bundesfinanzminister @larsklingbeil bei einer Sitzung der Expertenkommission für die Modernisierung der Schuldenregel.
Vier Arbeitsgruppen haben seit Mitte September wesentliche Handlungsfelder erörtert und erste Bereiche für eine gemeinsame Verständigung identifiziert. Die Komission plant, ihren Abschlussbericht im 1. Quartal 2026 vorzulegen.

We use the beautiful @ojblanchard1-Yaari NK model. We call it HANK as it mirrors same mechanisms and intuitions (Farhi-@IvanWerning). The main thing: deficits and debt directly affect demand, and inflation devalues nominal assets: rich and realistic two-way interaction. 3/N
