- Another reason for #Powell to stay would be to prevent #Trump from having leverage on the next chair : if Powell leaves the board, Trump could appoint the next chair for the remainder of Powell's governor term (which ends in Jan 2028) thus giving Trump leverage over the next chair with reappointment

- Croatia central bank governor Boris Vujčić will succeed Luis De Guindos as #ECB Vice President. His nomination does not really clarify the field of the race for the Presidency of the ECB : he's both a Hawk and from a Mediterranean country (so South of Europe) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

- Senator Murkowski just announced that she will also block the senatorial confirmations of any #Fed nominees until the administration backtracks on its latest attack against the Federal Reserve's independence. Just two more GOP Senators to go !
- Imho the Trump administration latest attack on the Fed might backfire & prevent the MAGA executive from imposing its views at the helm of the central bank. Why? Because presidential nominations to the Fed board of governors have to be confirmed by the Senate. A 🧶 www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

- Le compte X du Ministère de l'Intérieur 🇺🇸 appelle ouvertement à la déportation de masse des personnes non-blanches, en utilisant une notion ("remigration") qui découle du fantasme raciste, suprémaciste et conspirationniste du "grand remplacement". Une étape suplémentaire dans la fascisation des US

- Imho, the bond market won't resist any of the five profiles currently considered by the Trump administration for Fed chair. The eventual test of the bond market resolve to act as the vigilante protecting the Fed independence would be if the Supreme Court allows the firing of Lisa Cook
- By financial literacy, the 🇪🇺 Commission means convinving people to put their savings in the financial markets' casino, by mobilising symbolic violence ('literate' invests in stocks vs 'illiterate' saves in bank account) This is pure propaganda for propping the financial sector profits. Shameful

- An absolute must read for every political scientist working on interest groups in the #EU This is a textbook case of corporate sector lobbying to dismantle regulations that they perceive as harmful for their profitability ( #CSDDD is not even transposed into national law and yet already gutted)
- 🚨Exposed: how a secretive alliance of US companies is working to tear down the CSDDD. They: - Aimed to get “the most extreme position” in the European Parliament - Worked to mobilise pressure from non-EU countries - Paid for a think tank report Full analysis: www.somo.nl/the-secretiv...
- Essential (but disheartening) article by @euractiv.com on how EU corporate sector & its lobbyists built a coalition with the VdL 2 Commission, and the right-to-far-right majority in the EP to dismantle EU regulations. From the Brussels effect to the Brussels defect www.euractiv.com/news/counter...
- Perso, je parie sur le poste de Chief Economist (donc pour succéder à Philip Lane, dont le mandat se termine le 31 mai 2027) et sur la désignation d'Agnès Bénassy-Quéré ou de Laurence Boon
- Cette nouvelle position du #RN sur la #BCE & les questions monétaires va imho probablement contribuer à ce qu'un.e français.e soit désigné.e pour succéder à de Guindos ou à Lane, et ainsi remplir le "quota" FR à l'ExBoard avant le scrutin présidentiel de 2027 www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

- The US Supreme Court just announced that it will hear arguments on January 21 in the case Cook v. Trump The Supreme Court ruling will determine if Trump can remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and will therefore have major implications for the #Fed 's independence from the executive branch.
- Pourquoi une supervision financière centralisée à l'échelle européenne est nécessaire ? Réponse avec le cas fort parlant de Coinbase (une plateforme étasunienne de crypto-actifs), présentée sous la forme d'une pièce de théâtre en trois actes
- After Manfred Weber and Jörgen Warborn, now it's Metsola's turn to advocate for the EPP to build parliamentary majorities with the far-right, in order to gut the Green Deal and implement massive deregulation www.politico.eu/article/euro...
