The Eurosystem – Too opaque and costly?Bruegel
The Eurosystem gets a lot of attention from academics and the media, but they largely focus on its statutory objective of maintaining price stability. There is much less interest in its transparency and operational efficiency. We analyse these issues, and find that the Eurosystem is less transparent and operates with significantly higher costs and headcount than the US Federal Reserve System.

Financial forecasts – new ECB call – November 2017 Nordea
We change our ECB call: we now expect the ECB to extend QE once more and the first rate hike is not seen until Q4 2019. We postpone the EUR/USD rebound in our forecast and revise up the oil price forecast.

A calm period could be coming to an endNordea
We have revised up our oil price forecast to USD 55/barrel for 2017, USD 63/barrel for 2018 and USD 66/barrel for 2019 as the supply/demand balance has been tightening at a faster pace and geopolitical risk has increased.

Brysselin kone: Onko Emu umpikujassaYLE
Pitääkö euromaille suunnitella mahdollisuus euro-jäsenyydestä eroamiseen? Ja onko järkevää, että EU harjoittaa talouden ohjausta vai pitäisikö talouden antaa ohjautua enemmän markkinavoimien avulla. Eli jos taloudenpito ei herätä lainottajien luottamusta, niin maan lainojen korot nousisivat ja pakottaisivat talouspolitiikan muutoksiin. Ja miten poliittinen on tällä hetkellä epäpoliittiseksi elimeksi tarkoitettu EKP? Se työntää rahaa markkinoille ja pitää lainojen korot alhaalla, mutta miksi se tekee niin ja mitä seurauksia sen toiminnalla on.
