ECB's Knot Says Inflation May Cause Considerable Challenges
European Central Bank Governing Council member Klaas Knot warned that 'historically large shocks' in the global economy and their fallout on prices will be hard to navigate and require flexibility from policymakers.
The framework for global trade is highly uncertain, but it's also unclear how the economy responds to the current shifts, the Dutch central-bank chief said Wednesday in a speech. While downside risks to growth and inflation dominate in the near term, the outlook further down the line — which matters for ECB policy — is 'more ambiguous,' he said.

EU climate investments lagging 'well below' target
Climate investments in the EU are still far below what is needed to transition away from fossil fuels, a new report warned. Between 2022 and 2023, EU-wide investments grew from 491 to 498 billion euros (~R9.9-R10 trillion) - with the data available so far for 2024 pointing to a slowdown. The EU has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, and says it has already cut emissions by 37% compared to 1990. For climate change news and analysis, go to News24 Climate Future. Climate investments in the 27-nation EU are still far below what is needed to transition away from fossil fuels, a new report warned Tuesday, spotlighting lagging investments in wind power and building renovation. After a stretch of sustained growth, public and private investments in key climate-related sectors - energy, buildings, transport and clean-tech manufacturing - have been flatlining in recent years, said the report by the Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE). Between 2022 and 2023, EU-wide investments grew from 491 to 498 billion euros (~R9.9-R10 trillion) - with the data available so far for 2024 pointing to a slowdown, the think tank found. Present investment levels were "well below" what the bloc needs to meet its 2030 emissions reduction goal, which the institute estimates to require 842 billion euros (~R15 trillion) each year. The findings contrast with the signal sent by the European Commission, which last week declared the bloc on track to meet its 2030 target of slashing planet-warming emissions by 55 % compared to 1990 levels. The commission's upbeat projection was based on the energy and climate plans drawn up by EU member states. "It's easy to set goals, more difficult to implement the policies," cautioned Jean Pisani-Ferry, the I4CE's chair, at the report's launch in Brussels. Wind power and energy renovations in older buildings are falling especially short - with investments at around one third of what is needed, the report said. Solar power investments, however, were on the right track. The I4CE did not factor in investments in nuclear power, which it says remain outside the scope of its report because "the EU does not have precise objectives to develop nuclear energy." The EU's vice president for the clean transition, Teresa Ribera - who was present for the report's launch - acknowledged the investment shortfall was a "point of concern". "We can do better," she said, arguing that "a lot of strengths are not fully exploited" within the bloc. The EU has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, and says it has already cut emissions by 37% compared to 1990. Brussels now needs to agree on an interim target for 2040 - expected to be unveiled on 2 July - with the commission seeking to cut emissions by 90% compared to 1990 levels.

SA could see R870bn in debt savings with a new inflation target
A lower South African inflation target coupled with a revised borrowing strategy could save the government as much as R870 billion in debt-service costs, according to a research document published by the nation's central bank. The working paper by authors including Christopher Loewald, the head of the South African Reserve Bank's economic research department, builds on Governor Lesetja Kganyago's argument last week that a reduction in the target of 3% to 6% would boost growth and lower borrowing costs. The Bank and the National Treasury have been in talks about a new framework since February 2024, with discussions 'ongoing,' Deputy Finance Minister David Masondo said on Monday. Over a decade, a 3% target in tandem with a strategy that emphasizes short-term and inflation-linked borrowing could generate R870 billion in 'nominal cumulative savings' on debt-service costs, the authors said. Costs would decline to about 4.8% of gross domestic product by 2029-30, and 3.8% by 2034-35, absorbing a diminishing share of state revenue, they said. South Africa's current inflation regime hasn't been altered since its adoption 25 years ago. Policymakers aim to peg inflation expectations at the midpoint of that range and are currently beating their goal, with annual inflation in April running at 2.8%. That 'high and wide' target keeps inflation risks 'higher than they need to be, depressing economic growth and deepening inequality,' the authors said.

OECD forecasts a sharp economic slowdown and higher inflation in the U.S., citing tariffs
U.S. economic growth is likely to hit the brakes this year, with GDP dramatically slowing due to the impact of the Trump administration's tariffs and uncertainty around its economic policies, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, said Tuesday. GDP growth is forecast to slide to 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% next year, a sharp reduction from the 2.8% growth recorded last year, according to the OECD, an international organization of 38 member countries that focuses on promoting economic growth. While the OECD's U.S. forecast didn't mention President Trump by name, the report cited new tariffs as one of the primary causes of the economic slowdown. The Trump administration's policies, which have introduced new import duties on almost every foreign nation, have hiked the effective tariff rate to 15.4% from 2% last year, marking the highest rate since 1938, the group said. Because tariffs are paid by U.S. importers like Walmart, those costs are largely passed onto consumers in the form of higher costs — prompting the OECD to forecast that inflation in the U.S. will "spike in mid-2025" and reach 3.9% by the end of 2025. The Consumer Price Index rose by 2.3% in April, as the tariffs largely hadn't yet impacted prices at that point. Without mentioning Mr. Trump, OECD chief economist Álvaro Pereira wrote in a commentary that accompanied the forecast that "we have seen a significant increase in trade barriers as well as in economic and trade policy uncertainty. This sharp rise in uncertainty has negatively impacted business and consumer confidence and is set to hold back trade and investment.'' The report added that the U.S. is facing risks "skewed to the downside, including a more substantial slowing of economic activity in the face of policy uncertainty, greater-than-expected upward pressure on prices from tariff increases, and large financial market corrections." World economic growth is also forecast to slow to 2.9% this year and stay there in 2026, according to the OECD's forecast. That would mark a substantial deceleration from growth of 3.3% global growth last year and 3.4% in 2023. contributed to this report.
