November 23, 2023--Held in Athens on Wednesday and Thursday, 25-26 October 2023
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel started her presentation by noting that the market's immediate response to the dramatic geopolitical upheaval in the Middle East, following the terrorist attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023, had so far been contained.
Bolstered by continued robust economic growth in the United States, the surge in global long-term bond yields that started over the summer had continued in recent weeks, as investors were increasingly internalising the prospect of interest rates staying high for longer. At the same time, expectations for the future path of short-term interest rates had remained broadly unchanged.

New Xtrackers ETFs from DWS reduce investment risks caused by the loss of biodiversity
November 6, 2023--DWS is expanding its range of sustainable investment products with three new Xtrackers ETFs. The listed index funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in companies in Europe, the US and worldwide that have a lower negative impact on the earth's ecosystems than the market average.
The Xtrackers Biodiversity Focus SRI UCITS ETFs for the US investment region and the global equity market were listed on the London Stock Exchange today, following the listing of all three ETFs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 3 November.
Biodiversity, the diversity of life on earth, is of great importance not only from an ecological but also from an economic perspective. Studies estimate the global value of ecosystem services- i.e. the benefits that people derive from nature-at between USD 125 and 140 trillion per year.[1] The World Economic Forum predicts that the loss of biodiversity will have the third largest negative impact on humanity in the next ten years after climate change and extreme weather.[2]
