OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Development of the euro financial “ecosystem” is dampened by the scarcity of euro-denominated liquid short-term safe instruments to serve as “near money” and high-quality collateral available to all. It will be argued that the ECB has the means and the mandate to eliminate this scarcity by issuing a large volume of its own debt certificates, thereby strengthening monetary transmission and stability. Issuing such “E-bills” would avoid many of the technical, economic, and political obstacles that stymied other proposals for common euro securities. However, the E-bills proposal may still face political resistance related to the balance of power between member states and common European institutions.
Speaker(s):

Chair: Tim Vlandas (St Antony’s College, Oxford)
