Western official says that a strategy of “active defence” would allow Ukraine to “build out its forces” this year and prepare for 2025!!!! when a counteroffensive would have a better chance. To rationalize current strategy you have to assume a 4-year war!

Many of the scary-sounding recent headlines on CRE come out of the slow-moving, illiquid private market. In publicly traded CRE, the market is doing its job. Public markets, conversely, have already priced in a lot of distress. Ethan Wu 🇺🇸🇹🇼

The collapse in support for Germany's coalition gov is truly spectacularly. CDU now level with all three together with AfD in strong #2. Greens in firing line but SPD and FDP are biggest losers.

'Even the geopolitically fractured EU can unite behind a dislike of marine brigands; even Hungary’s disruptive prime minister Viktor Orbán isn’t actually pro-pirate.' One of those Alan Beattie zingers!

Ein laues Lüftchen, das Veronika Grimm und Lars P Feld hier zur Verteidigung ihrer geliebten Schuldenbremse vortragen.

Statt ökonomischer Logik gibt es:
1) eyeballing
2) Pauschalverdacht der Kritiker
3) den ausgestreckten Mittelfinger

Eine makroökonomisch angemessene Finanzpolitik vergangener Jahre kommt zu einem Ende.
Die Bundesregierung fährt das Defizit herunter, während die Wirtschaft schrumpft und die Inflation fällt-nach gängigen Makro-Lehrbüchern klarer Politikfelder. Das BIP wird 2024 wohl schrumpfen.
