IMF | Rethinking Central Bank Communications in an Uncertain World

Blog | In a world of frequent shocks, central bank communications should anchor expectations by explaining how policy responds to changing conditions, rather than committing to a fixed path.

European Council | Listening to Europe, Building its Future – Op-Ed Article by President Costa

Once I was elected President of the European Council, I decided to visit each member state every year, to meet bilaterally with each European leader. These exchanges are first and foremost an opportunity to listen: to remain closely attuned to the concerns, priorities and expectations of the members of the European Council, and of the citizens they represent. They also allow me to share my perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead for our union. These visits take place...

IMF | The Cost of Geoeconomic Coercion

Governments have good reasons to use tariffs or sanctions for geopolitical purposes but should consider the trade-offs. Governments worldwide increasingly are using economic policies, such as export bans, financial sanctions, and trade tariffs, to achieve noneconomic goals. The benefits of these geoeconomic policies can be significant, accomplishing a geopolitical purpose without threatening, or using, military force—and without the high human and economic costs of war.

CILC | U.S. Company Cannot Rely on U.S. Attorney-Client Privilege Rules in the EU

For EU antitrust investigations, a U.S. company cannot rely on U.S. attorney-client privilege to prevent the Commission from demanding U.S.-located documents, particularly communications with in-house counsel. The context is an EU antitrust investigation into Broadcom/VMware’s licensing practices (VMware virtualization-software licensing practices following Broadcom’s 2023 acquisition of VMware, including moving customers from perpetual licenses to subscriptions, bundling VMware products, significant price increase, contractual terms that could increase customer lock-in, restrict interoperability, or make it harder for customers to switch).

Last week, President Trump has granted Canada a three-day grace period from the 50% tariffs on $20 bln of Canadian goods, even those that were protected by the USMCA saying a deal was struck.
