good morning @ecb - still the sanest European institution. PEPP free to deploy, without ESM conditionality or political interference from Northern countries who seem to reserve their solidarity for when the asteroid hits
Eurobonds and we will buy your flowers, Holland.
every single reply to this @NLatEU plea for European level support for its flowers market is #Coronabonds.

#WallStreetConsensus & its failure to mobilise trillions in @FT

4 things missing:
a) hegemonic dominance of 'mobilising private finance' in development/climate
b) asking why hegemony
c) mushrooming scaling up initiatives
d) do we want success?

ft.com/content/481dc5…
a) Mobilising private finance remains global game - (Bridgetown, Biodiversity COP16, 4th Financing for Development conf) & national game (UK Labour gov, Brazil/Colombia/Chile decarbonisation).
*The world's most powerful political narrative that doesnt deliver
b) hegemonic not (just) because Big Finance is powerful, but postneoliberal, transformative state cant get rid of neoliberal macro - independent central bank dominating fiscal.

without macroinstitutional change- How do we pay for transformation- only one answer: private finance

this is what financial capitalism looks like -

when Big Finance occupies the state and takes over the social contract, nurses struggle, grandparents struggle, parents struggle, renters struggle, private equity flourishes.
Institutionally owned nursing homes:

what Draghi's report on Europe's competitiveness tells us about political economy of post-neoliberalism

1. The good:
kills neoliberal industrial policy = innovation policy while 'infant industries' is back, baby!
Image
no punches pulled on the Commission's Net Zero Industrial Act, the 2022 attempt to respond to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act with a lot of derisking talk but no money (ahem, European Sovereignty Fund) Image
Climate policy is industrial policy, and the other way around.

An important reminder that EU's climate policy was once ambitious, state-driven decarbonisation. Image

Brian Deese w new #WallStreetConsensus proposal: Climate Marshall Plan & its derisking arm, Clean Energy Finance Authority.

Not old Marshall Plan 90% financed with US grants, but a derisking project, counterpoint to China's BRI & cleantech dominance

foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
the Clean Energy Finance Authority would subsidize foreign demand for US cleantech - or derisk BlackRock renewable assets in say, Kenya with subsidies/guarantees. Image
nothing in this proposal from a top Kamala Harris advisor suggests US should enable technology transfers to countries wishing to pursue their own domestic cleantech capabilities.

in #WallStreetConsensus, Global South are consumers of American cleantech, with American dollars.

missing from this @FT account of the rapid rise of infrastructure as an asset class is the sustained effort that G20 governments have put into derisking infrastructure assets for institutional capital - this is the derisking state in action #WallStreetConsensus Image
@FT with @BJMbraun we've termed this a weak derisking macrofinancial regime - a set of policies (as in the G20 Infrastructure as an Asset Class agenda, or World Bank Maximising Finance for Development) that seeks to mobilise private capital into infrastructure

BlackRock 's recent acquisition of GIP is a bet that governments - under ideological or real constraints on fiscal space - will not pursue public infrastrucuture projects but instead continue to derisk private capital
