The surprise move by the Swiss National Bank in Jan 2015 removing the 1.20 euro cap on the Swiss Franc damages reputation of the central bank
01/16/2015
The foreign exchange reserves had grown massively on the balance sheet of the SNB by 2014, and following the referendum on increasing gold holdings at the SNB the policy of currency interventions had become controversial. The anticipated ECB move for monetary easing lowering the value of the euro made the cap increasingly untenable. Still the surprise move and the manner it was handled by the SNB president Jordan without any communication with financial markets following a Dec. statement that the SNB had "steadfast determination" in its cap, has shaken confidence in the SNB and central banks. The Swiss Franc surged following the announcement and Switzerland may be headed for a recession with the impact on tourism and export sectors.

The Swiss National Bank's decision on Jan. 14, 2015, to drop the 2011 peg of 1.2 euros to the franc, and reduce interest rates to negative 0.75%
01/15/2015
The Swiss National Bank gives up the effort to maintain the 2011 peg of 1.2 euros to the franc, as the anticipated ECB action for the Jan. 22 ECB meeting to weaken the euro further draws near. By offering negative yields on deposits of francs the bank plans to reduce the attractiveness of the franc as a safe haven. The Swiss franc surged by 15%, stock of exporter Swatch dropped 16% and the Swiss Stock Exchange showed a decline of 9%. Stocks of Nestle and Novartis, other exporters, also declined.

The initiative by Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to seek advice of 2 economists at the Berlin Institute of Governance to restore eurozone growth
10/14/2014
The initiative of the German and French Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to call on lecturers Pisani-Ferry and Henrik Enderlein for advice, comes at a time when Germany's growth has declined to zero or negative in the second half of 2014. Both are critics of Merkel's policies. For the first time Merkel is listening to different opinions and advice even as the government says it is sticking to balanced budgets. Finance minister Schauble continues to say investment should be mostly private. ECB president Draghi has generated the discussion by saying at a Brookings Institution conference in Washington D.C. that governments with fiscal space (referring to Germany) should provide stimulus. He added that eurozone governments that do not listen to new advice about generating growth will be swept away by public opinion. German officials privately say they can understand the Hollande government's situation with favorability ratings of 18% at the lowest level of any postwar French government. The situation is now markedly different from before with Berlusconi's old politics gone in Italy, and Matteo Renzi having obtained the largest mandate of any eurozone leader in the recent EU parliamentary elections, receiving 40% of the vote. Renzi and French premier Manuel Valls are pushing for less austerity reflected in the 2015 French budget now being reviewed in Brussels.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
