- Abstract
- This article explores how energy shocks influence capital and research and development expenditure in the EU and outlines possible implications for growth, productivity and competitiveness. The findings indicate that energy shocks can adversely affect corporate investment, potentially undermining future EU competitiveness, especially for financially constrained and energy-intensive firms. Policy measures at national and European level could help reduce energy prices and strengthen energy supply, making the EU less vulnerable to future energy shocks.

- OCCASIONAL PAPER SERIES - No. 367Investing in Europe’s green future: green investment needs, outlook and obstacles to funding the gapDetails
- Abstract
- The green transition of the EU economy will require substantial investment to 2030 and beyond. Estimates of green investment needs vary between institutions and are surrounded by high uncertainty, but they all point to a requirement for faster and more ambitious action. Green investment will need to be financed primarily by the private sector. While banks are expected to make a key contribution to funding the green transition, capital markets need to deepen further, especially to support innovation financing. Progress on the capital markets union would support the green transition. Public funds will be vital to complement and de-risk private green investment. Structural reforms and enhanced business conditions should be tailored to encourage firms, households and investors to step up their green investment activities.

- Abstract
- The article takes stock of Next Generation EU (NGEU) from a euro area perspective. NGEU is a temporary crisis instrument that, if implemented successfully, is expected to significantly improve Europe’s economic prospects. In the short term, it should support the recovery of the EU economy. In the medium term, NGEU should help to modernise the EU economies, with positive effects on their growth potential, resilience and convergence. The article provides a synthesis of the fiscal measures and structural reforms embedded in the national recovery and resilience plans of euro area countries. It also looks at the economic impact of the planned investments. Finally, the article examines the novel governance approach that can sustain a successful implementation of NGEU.
