Falling Russian gas exports and a greater reliance on Asian liquefied natural gas markets could affect the EU’s ability to secure its gas supplies in 2023. Decisive factors include a rebound in Chinese demand and further cuts in supply https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-bulletin/focus/2023/html/ecb.ebbox202301_01~6395aa7fc0.en.html #EconomicBulletin
High inflation can impair public finances, particularly if caused by external supply shocks. Fiscal measures compensating for high energy prices reduce inflation in the short run, before their impact broadly reverses https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-bulletin/articles/2023/html/ecb.ebart202302_01~2bd46eff8f.en.html #EconomicBulletin
Time to wrap up for today. Many thanks for your questions – I really enjoyed our chat! Take care, @Isabel_Schnabel #AskECB
🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: Further efforts are needed to make our operations Paris aligned. In a recent speech, I laid out three areas of action: corporate bond holdings, public sector bond holdings and lending operations including collateral. See here:

🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: Broad disinflation has not started in the euro area. We need to use all our tools to restore price stability and support sustainable growth. Otherwise we would see even sharper declines in real wages, and we may need to hike interest rates even more. #AskECB

RT @ecb: 🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: We need to counter high inflation by tightening monetary policy. At the moment, new lending operations, even if green, are not in line with our price stability mandate. Bringing inflation back to target is our best contribution to the green transition. #AskECB
🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: The United Kingdom remains an important partner of the European Union and the euro area, and London is still a global financial centre. Therefore, the ECB has a small office in London to maintain our network and collect market intelligence. #AskECB
RT @JanMusschoot: @ecb @Isabel_Schnabel Why does the ECB need an office in London? #AskECB
