Highlights - SEDE/INTA hearing: Risks & policy responses to foreign direct investment into the EU - Subcommittee on Security and Defence
31/01/2022
The Subcommittee on Security and Defence and the International Trade Committee will hold a joint hearing on "Assessing the risks and policy responses to foreign direct investment, including Chinese investments in the security and defence sectors" on 7 February 2022.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has come under increased scrutiny in the EU in recent years, including investments in strategic sectors such as the security and defence industry. In 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted a Regulation establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union, which became fully operational in October 2020.
The first panel of the hearing will assess the implementation of the FDI Screening Regulation with key stakeholders from a national screening authority and the business community.
The second panel will look specifically at Chinese investments in the EU security and defence sectors and analyse their potential impact on European security.

Μελέτη - Inflation expectations in the euro area: post-pandemic trends and policy implications - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Central banks attach great importance to inflation expectations. Households’ and firms’ expectations about the future path of inflation affect wage and price setting as well as consumption and investment decisions. Financial market participants’ expectations are relevant because they influence financial prices and financing conditions. Inflation expectations “anchored” around the inflation target are seen as a pre-condition for maintaining price stability and credibility of the central bank. Starting in 2021, after a long period of low inflation, the euro area has been experiencing above-target inflation. How will this affect economic agents’ perceptions about future inflation? Five papers were prepared by the ECON Committee’s Monetary Expert Panel, explaining the role of inflation expectations in monetary policy and challenges of measuring expectations, as well as policy implications and risks of unanchoring of inflation expectations due to the COVID-19 crisis. This publication is provided by Policy Department A for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Should rising inflation expectations concern the ECB? - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
This paper discusses theory and evidence on inflation expectations. While near-term measures of expected inflation in the euro area have increased, forecasters and financial markets expect inflation to decline back to the ECB’s target by later this year. The paper provides some sceptical arguments in relation to the prominence given to measure of inflation expectations in monetary policy circles. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Inflation expectations: quo vadis? - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Against the backdrop of the recent surge in inflation, we discuss available measures of inflation expectations and implications for monetary policy in the euro area. While long-term expectations are currently still in line with the ECB’s inflation target, the risk of a further rise increases should actual inflation remain high for an extended period of time. If expectations de-anchor the ECB may face difficult trade-offs. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Inflation expectations: models and measures - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Inflation expectations are key inputs into monetary policy, but they also represent one of the most difficult variables to measure. Inflation expectations are particularly difficult to pin down in a low inflation environment in which important relative prices experience large changes. The available measures of inflation expectations differ widely across different sources and could be used at most as an additional element in monetary policy decisions, but not as a target. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Inflation expectations in the euro area: trends and policy considerations - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Most economic decisions of economic agents are based upon expectations of inflation. Inflation expectations play an important role for the determination of inflation and the transmission of monetary policy. They are not observable and are inferred from alternative indicators. We show that all these measures generally fail to predict inflation. We also assess their anchoring and show that long-term expectations are better anchored to the inflation target than inflation expectations at shorter horizons.

Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Communication is not just talking - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Central bank communication has been developed over the last decades. Much has been learned over time, revealing both the complexity and usefulness of communication. This is an area where there is room for significant improvements. Most of the possible improvements question the way the ECB operates. Only seeking to better talk will not be enough to meet this important challenge. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Μελέτη - Communication in monetary policy - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
This paper examines the importance of communication of monetary policy in the light of the complex challenges central banks face post GFC in their role as ‘crisis managers’, confronting financial stability concerns, the economic consequences of the COVID pandemic and the risks arising from climate change and unsustainable activities. Effective central bank communication becomes ever more critical in order to preserve credibility and legitimacy. Such communication is an important component of accountability. This paper does not deal with the supervisory function of the ECB; the focus is the monetary policy of the ECB. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Μελέτη - Communication, complexity and credibility of monetary policy - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
With growing complexity of monetary policy following the global financial crisis, communication gradually became mission-critical for central banks in order to preserve legitimacy and credibility. The public, legislators and financial market participants each require a different type and channel of communication. Looking forward, the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis will bring considerable challenges for the European Central Bank (ECB)’s communication and accountability in the context of the complex and uncertain future interplay between price stability, financial stability and public debt sustainability in the euro area. Three papers were prepared by the ECON Committee’s Monetary Expert Panel on this topic. This publication is provided by Policy Department A for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with ECB President on 7 February 2022.

Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - What to expect from inflation expectations: theory, empirics and policy issues - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
We examine the role of inflation expectations in conditioning monetary policy, addressing three of its facets. The first concerns the channels through which inflation expectations impinge upon actual inflation, and their policy implications. The second facet regards the technical and empirical issues involved in keeping track of inflation expectations for monetary policy purposes. The final facet is an assessment of inflation expectations vis-à-vis the current upsurge of inflation, wondering whether, after being unanchored on the downside, can now become unanchored on the upside. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - ECB communication and its post-pandemic challenges - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
The ECB considers communication a critical instrument in its policy toolkit. Since its creation, the ECB has devoted significant attention to the mechanisms through which it conveys to the public information relevant to its decision-making and ensures its accountability. This policy briefing assesses whether existing ECB communication practises are adequate to continue ensuring the effectiveness and accountability of monetary policy in light of the recent and upcoming challenges that the ECB confronts.

Households’ and firms’ expectations about the future path of inflation affect wage and price setting as well as consumption and investment decisions. Financial market participants’ expectations are relevant because they influence financial prices and financing conditions. Inflation expectations “anchored” around the inflation target are seen as a pre-condition for maintaining price stability and credibility of the central bank. Starting in 2021, after a long period of low inflation, the euro area has been experiencing above-target inflation. How will this affect economic agents’ perceptions about future inflation? Five papers were prepared by the ECON Committee’s Monetary Expert Panel, explaining the role of inflation expectations in monetary policy and challenges of measuring expectations, as well as policy implications and risks of unanchoring of inflation expectations due to the COVID-19 crisis. This publication is provided by Policy Department A for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - Inflation expectations in the euro area: trends and policy considerations - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
Most economic decisions of economic agents are based upon expectations of inflation. Inflation expectations play an important role for the determination of inflation and the transmission of monetary policy. They are not observable and are inferred from alternative indicators. We show that all these measures generally fail to predict inflation. We also assess their anchoring and show that long-term expectations are better anchored to the inflation target than inflation expectations at shorter horizons.

Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - ECB communication and its post-pandemic challenges - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
The ECB considers communication a critical instrument in its policy toolkit. Since its creation, the ECB has devoted significant attention to the mechanisms through which it conveys to the public information relevant to its decision-making and ensures its accountability. This policy briefing assesses whether existing ECB communication practises are adequate to continue ensuring the effectiveness and accountability of monetary policy in light of the recent and upcoming challenges that the ECB confronts. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on 7 February 2022.
Λεπτομερής ανάλυση - What to expect from inflation expectations: theory, empirics and policy issues - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
We examine the role of inflation expectations in conditioning monetary policy, addressing three of its facets. The first concerns the channels through which inflation expectations impinge upon actual inflation, and their policy implications. The second facet regards the technical and empirical issues involved in keeping track of inflation expectations for monetary policy purposes. The final facet is an assessment of inflation expectations vis-à-vis the current upsurge of inflation, wondering whether, after being unanchored on the downside, can now become unanchored on the upside. This paper was provided by the Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies at the request of the committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) ahead of the Monetary Dialogue with the ECB President on.
Μελέτη - Communication in monetary policy - 31-01-2022
30/01/2022
This paper examines the importance of communication of monetary policy in the light of the complex challenges central banks face post GFC in their role as ‘crisis managers’, confronting financial stability concerns, the economic consequences of the COVID pandemic and the risks arising from climate change and unsustainable activities. Effective central bank communication becomes ever more critical in order to preserve credibility and legitimacy. Such communication is an important component of accountability. This paper does not deal with the supervisory function of the ECB; the focus is the monetary policy of the ECB.
