On Twitter/X, he is one of the most prominent analysts monitoring the developments of European economies.
In this episode of the Brussels Report podcast, BrusselsReport.eu editor Pieter Cleppe discusses the following topics with him:
– Germany’s deindustrialisation: how serious is it?
– The Eurozone: trouble on the horizon? Can higher interest bring down monetary union?
– What about Europe’s growth poles. There is Poland, but are there others?
– The economic impact of Brexit, looking back
If de-industrialization is the falling share of industry in total value add, then in recent decades it's been unfolding in South Europe and some West European economies (FRA, BEL, Finland Nokia boom-bust). Jury still out on cyclical/structural nature of Germany's recent decline. https://t.co/35hnrw56hI pic.twitter.com/5kDSWnTBH5

Germany and Italy stand out in their dependence on others to keep their lights on (French nuclear fleet in case of Germany). And clear how new nuclear reactors in Finland and Slovakia, which came online in 2023, eliminated their dependence on ⚡️ imports, boosting energy security. https://t.co/NnYe5ozunD pic.twitter.com/nptVSFc733
