Setting Europe's economic recovery in motion: a first look at national plans

April 29, 2021--Plans for spending European Union recovery funds submitted by the four largest EU countries reflect rather different priorities. So far, only Italy is interested in borrowing from the EU.
European Union countries are starting to set out how they plan to spend money from Next Generation EU (NGEU), the EU's landmark instrument for recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

In late April, countries began submitting their recovery and resilience plans. A first quick analysis shows that the plans of the four largest EU countries, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, reflect rather different priorities, even if all meet the minimum expenditure benchmarks of 37% for climate and 20% for digitalisation.

Confronting the risks: corporate debt in the wake of the pandemic

April 28, 2021--As European economies emerge from lockdowns, it is becoming clearer that corporate debt has reached critical levels. A new French scheme, in which the state guarantees portfolios of subordinated debt, shows how financial support could be targeted better.

ublicly guaranteed credit and moratoria have been the main instruments used by governments to support companies during the pandemic. By the end of 2020, €318 billion in loans was subject to moratoria according to the European Banking Authority, with the bulk of suspensions then expiring in the first quarter of this year. There has also been substantial use of public credit guarantees, with Italy and Spain among the most active users of this instrument. Additional credit of 8% and 9% of GDP respectively was created in these two countries by end-2020, in part backed up by the European Investment Bank's €25 billion European Guarantee Fund.

Economic Rebound in Turkey this Year Could Be Impacted by Domestic Macroeconomic Volatility and Evolving Global Uncertainties

April 27, 2021--The World Bank issued today its latest edition of the Turkey Economic Monitor (TEM), which takes stock of recent economic developments and provides the World Bank's analysis of economic prospects in Turkey.
Policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact led to a sharp rebound in economic activity in the second half of 2020.

Taking account of quasi-fiscal measures to support credit, Turkey's stimulus program was larger as a share of GDP (gross domestic product) than the average of G20 emerging market countries.

A stimulus-induced credit boom and relaxation of restrictions on mobility and shop closures in June and July drove a sharp rebound in economic activity, making Turkey one of the few G20 countries with positive growth in 2020. But this growth came with rising inflation, falling international reserves, a weakening of the Lira, a sharply expanded current account deficit and increasing corporate stress.

Top German court tosses objection to EU coronavirus recovery fund

April 21, 2021--The German Constitutional Court's decision paves the way for Berlin to ratify the EU's £s;750 billion recovery fund. Judges said they had not found any indication that the approval was unconstitutional.

Germany's Constitutional Court gave the green light to approve legislation ratifying the European Union's recovery fund on Wednesday, as it dismissed legal challenges against the debt-financed investment plan.

The decision is key to launching the bloc's £s;750 billion ($900 billion) recovery spending to mitigate the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Britcoin' not bitcoin? UK considers new digital currency

April 19, 2021--British finance minister Rishi Sunak told the Bank of England on Monday to look at the case for a new "Britcoin", or central bank-backed digital currency, aimed at tackling some of the challenges posed by cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

A BoE-backed digital version of sterling would potentially allow businesses and consumers to hold accounts directly with the bank and to sidestep others when making payments, upending the lenders' role in the financial system.

IMF-Regional Economic Outlook for Europe

April 15, 2021--With new waves of COVID-19 infections hitting Europe, the recovery remains halting. However, vaccinations are progressing and thus Europe's GDP growth is projected to rebound by 4.5 percent in 2021. The main priority is to quickly ramp up the production and administration of vaccines.

At the same time, policymakers need to continue providing emergency support to households and firms. And they need to prepare measures to stimulate hiring and investment once the pandemic is under control. Such measures will foster a quicker and fuller recovery, by reducing scarring from unemployment, missed education and training, and low investment.
