Financial market developments
Mr Cœuré reviewed the financial market developments since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 24-25 July 2019. Global financial markets had undergone a strong correction over the summer, which bore a close resemblance to the episode observed during the spring.

The principal catalyst on both occasions was an intensification of global trade tensions

The yield on the ten-year German government bond had declined by around 35 basis points, compared with the day before the July meeting, to -71 basis points. The ten-year US Treasury yield had fallen by around 50 basis points.

Growth Slows Across Europe and Central Asia Amid Weakening Trade and Flagging Industrial Activity

October 9, 2019--Economic growth across Europe and Central Asia is slowing, with regional growth estimated at 1.8% for 2019, according to the latest World Bank Economic Update for Europe and Central Asia.

This estimate, the lowest in four years, reflects slowing growth in both the Russian Federation and Turkey, the region's two largest economies. The report also notes robust growth in other parts of the region, including countries in Central Europe, Central Asia and the South Caucasus.

Slower growth in the region parallels a global downward trend and underlines the need to boost productivity growth and increase investment - which has been declining over the past decade.

Long term real interest rates fell below zero in all euro area countries

October 8, 2019--The 10-year real government bond yield, which is the nominal yield deflated by expected inflation, has fallen below zero in Italy and Greece, boosted by increased market confidence for their new governments.

Romania is the only remaining EU country with a positive real interest rate. Negative real interest rates vastly help fiscal sustainability and provide a great opportunity to invest in much needed infrastructure and the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

October 8, 2019--It's the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, but blockchain has the potential to transform the way we exchange a much wider range of assets.
It could enable the secure transfer of money, contracts, land titles, data, services and other assets digitally, with few or no intermediaries.

However, applying the technology in this way is still in its infancy, with complex challenges. For example, the processing power required to run a blockchain raises questions over its energy efficiency.
