Transcript of October 2022 European Department Press Briefing (International Monetary Fund)

Good morning to you here. And good afternoon to everybody in Europe who is joining us on the Web. Welcome to today's press conference on the economic outlook ...

And another point which applies to the Netherlands, but applies also more broadly to other European countries which have frothy housing markets, that is a general issue, that supply needs to be increased and that has been an issue for some while. So it is not just a reflection of that we had interest rates low for longer, but it also reflects that supply has not been increasing commensurately with demand and so supply side needs to be an important element of the policy response. I should, of course, add that Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused the higher energy prices, caused a lack of food exports, and led to increases in prices globally and in particular in Europe, and is a root cause of the slowdown and the recession we are seeing in some of the countries. We are also seeing a weakening of growth that reflects tighter financing conditions, that reflects the impact of higher energy costs, which affects both firms and households in terms of consumption demand. On your first point, our recommendation to Italy is the same as to other countries with regard to the design of packages to have to targeted, to be efficient and to the extent possible find offsetting measures in the budget in order to finance these packages and at the same time have to price signal work so that demand is being compressed for energy and gas. And I think in terms of some of the new packages which are being looked at right now, there is an element of becoming more targeted with these packages to be ensuring that prices are passed through to a sufficient extent in order to ensure that these demand reduction targets are being met. And there were two questions for me about that, because we are quite tied to the German economy, which will be in recession in 2023. If you are looking at some of the smaller countries which have less fiscal space, those are usually the countries where we see that they are the targeting is best and also where the fiscal cost is addressed as an issue and the fiscal packages are more efficient. And the part of the energy consumption and energy compression comes in because this is not only a problem of the winter of 22-23, but the energy security issues will last through 23 and into the winter of 23-24, because in the summer, gas storage would need to be replenished and therefore we need Europe-wide compression in demand of energy that includes gas and electricity. Kammer: So just to be clear, what we are looking for in these packages and why we are looking for particular principles; one, we indeed suggest that packages are targeted and addressing the cost of living of the vulnerable segments of society. We welcome the government's commitment to involve the Office of the Budget Responsibility and that the BOE will continue to do what is needed to address market dysfunction and preserve financial stability. Kammer: On the question on the UK, we understand that the UK authorities are in the process of recalibrating the fiscal package they have announced and we wait until we get the details and at that point in time we are going to assess the package.

Week 7 mission guide for The International 2022 battle pass (WIN.gg)

This week's missions involve dealing tons of damage to enemy units with your hero and controlled units and popping Magic Stick off cooldown. The reward for ...

Magic Stick is often overlooked for flashier pickups, but even the poorest of supports can use it as an early-game option. The International 2022 battle pass week seven completes the trinity of players needing to spam certain stat heroes. Make It A Beat Down commands players to deal physical damage directly to enemy heroes. Valve saved strength for last, which is also one of the more versatile stat alignments. Turbo games only count for half and last more than half as long anyway, so queue up for the normal modes and survive (in real life) until the end of the match. This contemptuous mission requires players to deal damage using controlled units other than their heroes.
