World Bank Releases Its First Report on the Circular Economy in the EU, Says Decoupling Growth From Resource Use in Europe Achievable Within Decade

December 6, 2022--Globally, extraction of raw materials stands at over 100 billion tons, annually. This staggering figure is driven by both the persistently high levels of material consumption in high-income countries and the rapidly growing needs in emerging economies.

The World Bank's first comprehensive report on the circular economy in the European Union (EU)-"Squaring the Circle: Policies from Europe's Circular Economy Transition"-states that the current "take-make-use-waste" linear model of economic expansion is increasingly unsustainable, not only on environmental terms, but also from an economic security and inclusion dimension. The report concludes, however, that comprehensive policy packages can reduce material consumption while still maintaining growth and welfare creation.

ECB-Meeting of 26-27 October 2022 Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank

November 24, 2022--Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 26-27 October 2022
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel noted that uncertainty had increased in financial markets since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 7-8 September 2022. This had occurred amid persistently high inflation and elevated fears of a recession, with increased attention on potential financial instability.

Inflation concerns had remained the dominant driver of financial market developments, as inflation outcomes had continued to surprise to the upside, leading to a renewed adjustment of market expectations for monetary policy globally.

Against the background of persistent inflation surprises, investors had sharply revised up their expectations regarding central banks' "terminal policy rate" (the level at which market participants expected the current interest rate cycle to peak) as embedded in risk-free rates, for all major advanced economies, albeit to different degrees.

In the euro area, compared with expectations at the time of the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting, market pricing and survey evidence now pointed to expectations of a faster pace of policy rate hikes and a markedly higher terminal rate.
