The Power of Green Public Finance
Policymakers and pundits have been wringing their hands over the crises afflicting the European Union, arguing that it is falling behind in confronting major threats to its long-term survival. Yet on the issue of climate change, nothing could be further from the truth. In mid-November, EU member states demonstrated that they can unite behind a shared vision of a low-carbon future. And European institutions are already leading the fight against climate change at the global level. Among these, the European Investment Bank will now be playing an even greater role as an instrument for decarbonizing the economy and limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Climate change is the top political issue of our time. Scientists estimate that if we remain on our current path, we will experience global warming of 3-4°C by the end of the century, at which point large portions of the planet will be uninhabitable.

Climate Adaptation Now
As world leaders gather in Madrid for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25), they must address more than future targets for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

China’s true economic growth could be half of what everyone thinks
China’s GDP data release always generates great market excitement despite rarely straying more than 25 basis points below or above the government target. This stability has led a number of analysts to propose their own measures, typically based on a variety of Chinese proxy data but, in the end, not that different from the official numbers. In this article I argue that, based on the performance of countries comparable to China, the latter’s GDP growth could be as low as half the official number and that markets are likely overestimating China’s importance for the global economy. That being said, China has one of the highest levels of corporate debt in the world and slower growth implies greater risks of financial instability.

Wijnaldum as No. 6 and chances for Ox & Shaqiri – Predicting the Liverpool lineup vs. Brighton
Jurgen Klopp has an early opportunity to test his options without Fabinho as Liverpool host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Fabinho was already set to miss this weekend’s clash due to suspension, before an ankle ligament injury ensured he will also miss the rest of the year. It is a major blow for Liverpool, and one which may have altered Klopp’s plans for this game as it is less a case of an enforced rest for his No. 3 and more an enforced, long-term reshuffling of the ranks. Brighton head to Anfield sat 12th in the table, with manager Graham Potter buoyed by a new two-year contract extension after just 13 league games in charge. For the Reds, the visitors provide an opportunity to respond to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Napoli in midweek, and at least maintain their eight-point lead at the top of the league.
