As @RobinBrooksIIF and @Brad_Setser like to remark, one of the defining feature of the world economy right now is that foreigners are no longer major net purchasers of US sovereign debt. They hold their stocks but dont add to them much. twitter.com/RobinBrooksIIF…

Inflation, what inflation? as @PeterBofinger points out, if you perform the simple exercise of removing energy prices, German inflation has no trend and sits around 1.5%. No cause for Angst! twitter.com/PeterBofinger/…

This is fair from @wolf_reuter As large as the German @Die_Gruenen 500bn Euro investment program is, it is no more than Biden-sized i.e. a good start but nowhere near enough for energy transition or full upgrade of infrastructure -> implies need to mobilize private capital. twitter.com/wolf_reuter/st…

Its not rocket science: if you raise the CO2 price you need to pay out a progressive carbon dividend to offset regressive effects. Germany's CDU proposal to increase tax relief for commuters is inadequate and regressive. Election is exposing limits of green consensus in Germany. twitter.com/J_E_Thie/statu…

Come September it is really crucial that @Die_Gruenen take a strong line on fiscal policy in the coalition negotiations. Delighted to hear Robert Habeck so strong on this and so engaged in thinking imaginatively about how to communicate progressive fiscal policy to German voters twitter.com/boell_stiftung…
Given concerns about state of democracy in UK and US it is easy to underestimate scale of dissatisfaction also in Germany over issue of lobbies and their influence on Merkel's grand coalition. 62% of Germans think decisions are driven by lobbies. twitter.com/sven_giegold/s…
