Austria: 2022 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report
September 2, 2022--Summary:
Austria is highly vulnerable to spillovers from the war in Ukraine given its high dependence on energy imports from Russia, deep integration into global value chains, and large banking exposures.
After high growth in the first half of 2022, growth is projected to fall sharply through 2023 due to impact of the war and the related energy crisis. Over the medium term, annual growth is projected to stabilize around 1¾ percent. However, output will remain below the pre-crisis trend. Uncertainty is extraordinarily high with significant downside risks.

Russian war adds uncertainty and volatility to EU financial markets
September 1, 2022--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities markets regulator, today publishes the second Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities (TRV) Report of 2022. The Russian war on Ukraine against a backdrop of already-increasing inflation has profoundly impacted the risk environment of EU financial markets, with overall risks to ESMA's remit remaining at its highest level.
In the first half of 2022 financial markets saw faltering recoveries, increasing volatility and likelihood of market corrections. Separately, crypto-markets saw large falls in value and the collapse of an algorithmic stablecoin, highlighting again the very high-risk nature of the sector.

ECB-Meeting of 20-21 July 2022
August 26, 2022--Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 20-21 July 2022
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options-Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel reviewed the latest financial market developments, noting that the narrative had shifted since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting in early June 2022.
Weaker than expected incoming data on the global economy and concerns about disruptions to gas supplies, in combination with further higher than expected inflation outcomes, had turned investors’ focus towards a possible "stagflationary" scenario. In this environment, the volatility of short-term interest rate expectations stood at a historical high.

Inflation: why it's very unlikely to get back below 2% for years to come
August 26, 2022--The UK and the Eurozone have seen record inflation rises, with UK prices rising 10.1% in July.
Central banks, most economists, and commentators attributed rising prices to logistic bottlenecks and production constraints due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
In this piece, two economists argue that today's inflation has its roots in the 2008 financial crisis and is set to say persistently above 2% for years to come.
Inflation in the UK and eurozone is still getting worse. UK prices rose a whopping 10.1% in July compared to a year earlier, while those in the eurozone went up 8.9% - breaking longstanding records in both places. Contrast this with the equivalent data from the US a few days earlier, where the 8.5% rate was lower than the previous month and below market expectations.
