Financial literacy makes households more responsive to interest rates, fosters risk-taking and affects inflation expectations, says Executive Board member @isabelschnabel.bsky.social. This strengthens monetary transmission, making our policies more effective.

Today I had another exchange with German-speaking economists on the challenges facing the German and euro area economy and what this implies for monetary policy @ecb.europa.eu. One focus was how to make sure that the German packages for defence and infrastructure will become a success. 1/3

Yesterday I delivered a speech with the title “No longer convenient? Safe asset abundance and r*” at the @bankofengland.bsky.social's #2025BEARconference. Let me summarise the main messages in a 🧵. 1/16
Moving from a global savings to a global bond glut is putting upward pressure on the real equilibrium rate, says Executive Board member @isabelschnabel.bsky.social. Monetary policy may be less restrictive and balance sheet policies less effective than thought.

Happy Women's Day! On this occasion I gave an interview to Wochentaz (today they call themselves frauentaz 😀), this time not related to monetary policy, but about women in general and me in particular. 1/2

In my interview with @financialtimes.com published today I explained my current thinking about the @ecb.europa.eu ’s monetary policy and gave some personal reflections on the upcoming update of our monetary policy strategy. Let me briefly summarise the main points in a 🧵. 1/16
As we can no longer be confident that our monetary policy is restrictive, the direction of travel is less clear, Executive Board member @isabelschnabel.bsky.social tells @financialtimes.com. We are nearing the point where we may need to pause or halt our rate cuts.

It is great to talk to young people and explain to them what we do. In our Visitor Centre, we have a small version of our Governing Council table, creating an authentic atmosphere. One surprise for me was that quite a few of the young people said they prefer using cash to cards. #ourECB #ECBandYou

It was great fun to join @finanztip.bsky.social for an interview on inflation, monetary policy and the economic challenges lying ahead (available on YouTube). Thanks to Saidi & his team for coming to the ECB, and for your work on improving #FinancialLiteracy, which also matters for monetary policy.
How is inflation developing? What challenges lie ahead for our economy? And what role do central bankers play?

Executive Board member @isabelschnabel.bsky.social spoke to @finanztip.bsky.social to discuss these questions and more.

In my speech “Navigating towards neutral”, delivered at the @cepr.org #ParisSymposium, I argue that monetary policy should proceed gradually towards neutral and remain data-dependent. Once price stability is restored, we can be more tolerant of moderate deviations from target. 1/22

Much of the impact of our monetary policy decisions on the real economy is yet to come, says ECB Vice-President Luis de Guindos.

That’s why we need a data-dependent approach to determining the appropriate level and duration of this restrictive policy stance
