The topic of finance is a vast and murky field. But increasingly, environmental and social civil society actors find themselves grasping with these complex issues \u2013 whether it is about demanding more money for the transition, challenging budgetary restrictions or redirecting funds from harmful activities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this trilogy of webinars, we are pleased to be joined by experts in the fields of industrial policy, monetary-fiscal coordination and post-growth macroeconomic financial regimes. Each session will delve into a specific angle of the <\/span>finance question<\/span><\/i> and aim to raise awareness and critical thinking on issues that are central to the transformations of our economies and the safeguard of our planet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Debunking Derisking<\/i> with Prof. Daniela Gabor\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Wednesday 30th April 10-10.45 CEST\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The new EU Clean Industrial Deal is banking on private finance mechanisms to fund essential services and industrial transitions such as via the Capital Markets Union. Meanwhile EU public funds via State aid are being channelled to boost companies\u2019 corporate profits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the issues with the private\/public finance debate, what is derisking and what alternatives are there for us to advocate for? <\/span><\/p>\n

A 20min Q&A will follow up Daniela\u2019s presentation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>transformative power of credit <\/span>guidance<\/span> <\/i>with Charles Stevenson<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Tuesday 20 May 10:00 – 11:00 CEST<\/h5>\n

The European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy is currently unfit for purpose as it doesn\u2019t fulfil its primary mandate of ensuring price stability, let alone support general economic policies and objectives of the EU. To do so, central banks must shift away from interest rate management and open market operations as the primary levers of monetary policy and towards a renewed role for direct credit regulations<\/span><\/p>\n

What is credit guidance? How has it been used in the past to both control aggregate demand and steer capital from some sectors towards others? And what would this imply for the social-ecological transition? <\/span><\/p>\n

The presentations will delve into these issues and be followed up by a 20-minute Q&A.<\/span><\/p>\n

A macro-financial regime for democratically planned degrowth<\/span><\/i>\u00a0with Dr. Elena Hofferberth\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Wednesday 11<\/span>th<\/span> June 10-11h CEST<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Contemporary macro-financial regimes fail to live up to the\u00a0social and ecological transformations of our economies. Neither is enough funding made available for essential renewable infrastructure and social services nor is private finance sufficiently constrained to phase-out existing and prevent further fossil and other socially and environmentally degrading industries.<\/p>\n

What are the shortcomings of existing macro-financial regimes to support a fully-fledged social-ecological transformation and what could a post-growth macro-financial regime look like? Elena will present a framework to grasp these challenges and discuss levers in distinct policy areas, including monetary reform, monetary-fiscal coordination and democratic planning. Her talk will be followed by a 20min Q&A.<\/p>\n
