The end of the transit contract will mark an important shift because gas via Ukraine governed by the contract currently accounts for half of Russia’s remaining pipeline gas exports to the EU and a third of total Russian gas exports, including LNG. The impact will be felt especially in Austria, Hungary and Slovakia, for which the Ukrainian transit route met 65 percent of gas demand in 2023. Overall, the share of Ukrainian transit in EU gas imports has dropped from 11 percent in 2021 to about 5 percent. Georg Zachmann and Ugne Keliauskaite explain what this means for the European Union and why it should seek a common position on the upcoming end to the contract governing Russian gas transit through Ukraine: https://lnkd.in/e8VtDFhU

📊 China economic database The Chinese stock market has become increasingly volatile over the past several months and Chinese investors have turned to bond markets for safe returns on their investments. Such demand raised prices and reduced returns to some of their lowest levels ever. Want to explore Chinese bond markets? Check out Bruegel’s China Economic Database, where Alicia Garcia-Herrero 艾西亞 and Théo Storella not only track national bond yields, but also corporate, local government, and local government financing vehicle bonds. Tell us what you think in the comments about China’s bond market and what is most interesting about this critical dimension of Chinese economics. ➡ https://lnkd.in/egPNpSuU

🎙 What can Europe learn from Japanification? 'I think it's true to say that the particular economics profession has sort of coined this phrase Japanification, which was a word that typically took a very negative connotation. It meant low growth. It meant a sort of indecision, politically inconsistent policy responses and these types of things. As the rest of the world grapples with the same structural decline in population, we will come to witness, and this is particularly relevant for many European countries that demographically look increasingly like Japan 30 years ago. We will come to see that, Japan actually managed a very challenging economic situation not too badly, in fact. That's why I think it's very important that European countries, but also other countries around the world. This isn't just a European issues that many other countries in Asia and elsewhere that's going to go through this. We need to look at what Japan actually did, what worked and what didn't work.'

🎙 What can Europe learn from Japanification? 'As Japan ages, there has been a lot of warnings of fiscal sustainability, so we must be cautious about Japan's debt. As Jacob mentioned, Japan has weak demand, so we need to balance supporting demand and maintaining fiscal sustainability if we do aggressive austerity, which will weaken the economy, leading to self-destruction. On the other hand, Japan's public debt requires careful management. So maybe we need to live with its debt. That is one of the lessons that Japan can give to Europe.'

🎙️ What can Europe learn from Japanification? While the term Japanification is usually taken negatively, Japan actually managed a very challenging economic situation with an ageing population and low productivity growth. As the rest of the world grapples with the same structural decline in population, Rebecca Christie sits down with Jacob Funk Kirkegaard and Takeshi Tashiro (Peterson Institute for International Economics) to explore what lessons Europe and beyond can learn from Japan’s experiences, what worked and what didn’t work, including fiscal sustainability, private savings, as well as workforce participation and productivity.

🎙️ Do the European Institutions really need language diversity? In the below clip, Margo Sijs talks about how important it is for people to be able to speak their native tongue when participating in meetings and negotiations at EU level, instead of always opting for English, explaining the role of interpreters in helping them get their meaning across. "It's important that member states can send the experts in that specific domain who are not necessarily, polyglots or language experts. We are there for them, to help them to make sure that they can get their message across," she says. "And I would even dare to say that at the top level, people that have really a very good understanding and an active knowledge of English, should maybe consider when they make the language choice when switching on the mic in the meeting, if for that specific purpose, in that specific meeting, English is going to be helpful or not. "Because even if you're very trained in that language, then still you will have less vocabulary at your disposal than when you speak in your native language. If you're in a negotiation, you want to make sure that you're convincing that you have a wide variety of words and arguments and nuances and expressions that you can use."

🎙 Do the European Institutions really need language diversity? "Each language is given the same respect within the EU," says Aislínn McCrory in the latest episode of The Sound of Economics. 'I think it's one of the most positive things about the European project is that there is respect of different cultures and different languages and it's kind of you know, the shining stars of the project in a way, how multilingualism is dealt with within the EU. No language is more officially important than any other language," she says. "Each language is given the same respect and the same amount of attention as other languages, which is something that is really positive. For me, as an Irish speaker, it's quite inspiring to work in that environment to know that your language, even though it's a smaller language in terms of number of speakers, is given the same respect and the same status as other languages."
