Globalisation is supposedly on the retreat. There is a common perception that firms are diversifying supply chains and moving production closer to home. So, are we heading towards deglobalisation? #TheECBblog finds that the data tell a different story https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/date/2023/html/ecb.blog230712~085871737a.en.html https://t.co/ocx8ltUPqR

We still have work to do to bring inflation back down to our 2% target, President Christine @Lagarde tells @laprovence.
A simultaneous rise in wages and firms’ profit margins would fuel inflation risks. If that happens, we would not stand idly by https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/inter/date/2023/html/ecb.in230707~e4c06dfc7c.en.html https://t.co/SCCr6NQcq0
Inflation is projected to decline further towards our target as the effects of our past rate increases are gradually transmitted across the economy, says Vice-President Luis de Guindos. But our job is not yet done – we need to monitor labour costs closely

Re The proposal brings more small and medium-sized banks under the resolution framework, making European financial markets more resilient to crises. To ensure these banks can be resolved effectively, the framework must be underpinned by sufficient funds
2/8
Re Shareholders and creditors will rightly still be first in line to bear losses when a bank fails. The proposal builds on this, while improving access to industry-funded safety nets like national deposit guarantee schemes. This should minimise use of taxpayer-funded solutions
3/8
Re To facilitate cost-effective ways of addressing bank failures with the support of the deposit guarantee scheme the proposal introduces a harmonised “least cost” test and a single-tier depositor preference
4/8
Re A single-tier depositor preference means that all deposits have the same ranking in an insolvency proceeding, and deposit guarantee schemes can provide more funding in resolution cases
5/8
Re In times of crisis, we support a financial stability exemption to protect the public interest. It should be subject to strong safeguards and allow access to industry-funded resolution financing arrangements only in exceptional circumstances
6/8
Re We need a European deposit insurance scheme as the third pillar to complete banking union. Such a scheme would boost confidence in the safety of bank deposits equally across all Member States, reduce the risk of bank runs and safeguard financial stability
7/8
Re Access to liquidity is similarly essential for successful resolution and the banking union still lacks the necessary liquidity framework. Setting this up should be a priority
