Livestream debate: Rising inflation – is it here to stay?
Sandra Parthie Event 24. January 2022 Livestream debate: Rising inflation – is it here to stay?
The recent surge in inflation has sparked a sometimes polarizing debate among central bankers, analysts, policymakers and the wider public. In July 2021, the ECB changed its inflation objective to a symmetric 2% target over the medium term. But euro area inflation has surged to 5% in December.
The recent surge in inflation has sparked a sometimes polarizing debate among central bankers, analysts, policymakers and the wider public. In July 2021, the ECB changed its inflation objective to a symmetric 2% target over the medium term. But euro area inflation has surged to 5% in December.
This virtual panel discussion will bring together leading economists to discuss questions like the following: Are we merely witnessing a temporary blip, or could inflation turn into a sustained threat for citizens and markets? Does the ECB adequately balance the benefits and side effects of its monetary policy? What are the political ramifications of inflation?

Berthold Busch / Björn Kauder IW-Report No. 3 19. January 2022
Does the EU need new own resources?
The European Union will incur a large amount of debt to finance the Next Generation EU Programme. The repayment of this debt is expected to last until 2058.
How is Public Debt Developing in the Southern EU Member States?
Especially in Southern Europe, public debt is missing the targets of the European Stability and Growth Pact by wide margins, leading to concern about the sustainability of public finances.
