Isabel Schnabel "Given the size and the persistence of the current shock, looking through is no longer an option in my view."

While NGDP is above 8%, nominal PDFP is 6.2%—strong, but not exceptional, i.e. below Q2 2019, right when the Fed pivoted to cuts.

"The Federal Reserve has cut rates only a handful of times when nominal growth was greater than 8 per cent and most of those instances were in the 1970s." Richard Bernstein @RBAdvisors in the FT ft.com/content/94112b05-ac15…

Weak private demand is the core problem—tied to weak productivity (Draghi). Strip out the noise (Ireland’s MNE distortions, NGEU one-offs) and focus on the core euro area (FR DE): the ECB tightening cycle is hard to miss. Core private domestic demand is the adjustment margin.
Replying to @Isabel_Schnabel
The key shortfall is a sustained weakness in domestic demand. Since 1999 real private consumption in Germany has grown by less than 1% per year. Domestic investment remained subdued as well. This is mirrored in the sharp rise in Germany’s current account surplus. 15/20

The day wouldn't be complete without another profound & insightful Kevin Warsh commentary. All kidding aside, Warsh's life is going to be very complicated and not just because of Trump.👇👇👇 omfif.org/2026/02/no-easy-an…

#Germany's attitude gives the impression that competition is no longer with #China, but within the eurozone itself: relative advantage is being built up vis-à-vis European partners, not vis-à-vis Beijing - @NicolasGoetzman op-ed @LesEchos lesechos.fr/idees-debats/edi…

Europe is now as worried by China's growing surplus as the US -- maybe more so, as Trump tends to think only in bilateral terms. This should be an opportunity for creative US international economic diplomacy ... but am not seeing it
The U.S. Must Put Pressure on China to Let the Yuan Strengthen Europe has borne the brunt of China’s ever-widening trade surplus. The U.S. should join in efforts to respond. by @Brad_Setser thewirechina.com/2025/12/14/…
