Our Warsaw colleague Krzysztof Krogulski spoke at @EFCongress about risks for Poland and the condition of its banks.
Poland should adjust its fiscal policy to cut its deficit and put debt on a sustainable path.
Banks are liquid but can do more to support private investment.

I enjoyed a very productive exchange with the man whose job I once held: EU Budget Commissioner @Piotr_Serafin in Brussels. We agreed on the importance of a timely, growth-oriented #EUbudget focused on European public goods and aimed at strengthening Europe’s resilience.

The Single Market is Europe’s greatest economic achievement, but its full promise has yet to be realized. At the @FriendsofEurope & @DelorsInstitute conference in Brussels, I called to speed up its completion to strengthen Europe in a more uncertain world. bit.ly/4ekR9Eu

I had an excellent discussion in Brussels today on accelerating EU priorities with former PM @EnricoLetta and @ERT_eu chair Jon Symonds. Europe has the talent, innovation, and resources to succeed—it must step up to deliver critical reforms with urgency and unity.

Grateful for many substantive conversations in Poznań. I met Polish business leaders at @ImpactCEE, had a great exchange on AI with @mati of @ElevenLabs, & reconnected with @JustinTrudeau. My visit ended with a tour of a @VW plant - to see how innovation is reshaping transport.

Fascinating visit to beyond.pl factory in Poznan, the first AI-enabled data center in CESEE. Sophisticated digital infrastructure strengthens Europe’s presence in the AI value chain. Also interesting that the facility can transmit heat to Poznan’s heating system.

Great to present the WEO in Belgrade at an event co‑hosted by @SrbNarodnabanka. Discussion focused on the macroeconomics of defense spending and the impact of geopolitical tensions. Serbia’s stable public finances and high FX reserves provide resilience despite global headwinds.
