This is what Trump's "economists" say about how they calculated the "reciprocal" tariffs. Don[t be fooled by the equation. They commit countless crimes against economics. ustr.gov/issue-areas/... +

The debate over how much of the (1,5, 150, soon more) €bn should be spent on EU vs non-EU defence manufacturers is about to move decisively in France's direction
Macron just has to sit back at this point. Trump is winning the argument for him 🇪🇺🇫🇷
In the pandemic timeline, we are now in early April 2020. This is when the Commission put SURE on the table (and around the same time, the fiscal rules were unplugged). Five weeks later, Macron and Merkel put NGEU on the table. This is where this should be headed eventually as well.
Well, as America implodes from within, it’d be a *great* time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It’d likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security build up! 🇪🇺💶 ‼️
Lots of over-engineered debt brake proposals around. Nothing easy off the shelf. Except….
….Just getting rid of it.
Fits really well in the spirit of deregulation, folks, come on!
One regulation less. Beautiful. And less duplicative because we have EU fiscal rules!
Cela semble absurde, et j’ai été choqué la première fois que je l’ai compris, mais la France – il n'y a pas d'autre mot – est bien un paradis fiscal pour milliardaire

End of an era: @pkrugman.bsky.social's last column in the @nytimes.com one of the first econ bloggers I followed frequently when I became interested in economic policy. I still remember looking forward to his next column during the great financial crisis www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/o...
At the height of the €zone crisis, the 🇬🇷 government was spending nearly 20% of all its revenue on interest payments.
🇫🇷 is now spending around 4% on interest payments.

A graph comparing Spanish and German gdp, which diverge in 2008 but reconverge between 2017-2024
Here’s a crazy fact for you: Spain and Germany have now seen basically the exact same amount of economic growth post-2008. Would have been unthinkable to people during most of the 2010s. Spain has seen ~10 percentage points more cumulative growth since 2017.
