  • Lackadaisical

    It would benefit from a professional journalist and a little effort. Replaying the press conference does not make a good podcast.

  • Nice idea, but

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Supervision, simplified
Q: But does simplification actually mean deregulation?
Simplification is about making rules simpler and clearer without lowering resilience, while deregulation could lead to a weaker banking system.
Supervision, simplified
Q: Can you begin by telling us how Europe's banks are doing at the moment?
The banking sector is quite resilient, generally well capitalized and with good liquidity ratios, although there are some early signs of deterioration in asset quality.
Ask the ECB Forum: defence, tariffs and AI – insights from top experts
Q: How does the European Central Bank balance its policies to avoid negatively impacting other European economies?
The ECB maintains a commitment to price stability across the euro area as a whole, rather than tailoring monetary policy to individual national economies.
Ask the ECB Forum: defence, tariffs and AI – insights from top experts
Q: What is the ECB's view on increasing defense spending in Europe?
The ECB is closely monitoring the impact of rising defense spending on economic growth and inflation, indicating that while such investments could stimulate growth, they might also raise inflation in the medium term.
Price Stability in Times of Change
Q: Governor Ueda, could you describe your economic position and inflation targets?
Our goal is to convert both headline and underlying inflation to 2 percent by the time I leave my office.
