New working paper based on #EIBIS The effect of uncertainty on firms investment? it matters! eib.org/en/publication… European Investment Bank

My take. concern: geopolitics and a Cold War affecting innovation - scary at times of AI. Also, depending on US elections, a chance of less aligned western world on global fundaments. Positives: Europe bringing single market and competitiveness firmly in its own policy European Investment Bank IIF

Great discussion. Thanks to all and to be continued….my take: at times of geopolitical tensions, Europe and USA have to play their global role.

Looking forward for this US-EU debate. Not easy times, with US fully absorbed in the election debates and challenged on its capacity to deliver on its global role (Ukarine, decarbonisation, etc). Eager to discuss and learn. European Investment Bank.

A great discussion at Columbia | SIPA today. EU policy for the digital and green transition and the role of the EIB.

At the EU Economy & Finance-Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 event, President Nadia Calviño highlighted the:
🟢Recovery and Resilience Facility impact on the EU economy
🟢complementarity of EU funds ( #REPowerEU , #investEU and more) in closing the investment gap and making the digital & green transition a 🇪🇺 success

Today lots of consensus on European Investment Bank role to deliver on EU investment needs.

Europe needs investment to support economic transformation. No doubt. How to deliver? Single market, CMU, more European planning for necessary single market investment, private and public sector cooperation, catalytic role and quality of investment. And do not forget skills. @eib
