- IMF repostedI had a great discussion with HRVP @kajakallas on Europe’s policy priorities. We discussed the uneven economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East, how pivotal it is for the EU to deepen its single market and complete the energy union, and our ongoing support to Ukraine.
- IMF repostedI had a stimulating exchange with economics correspondents in Brussels on the outlook for the euro area & how policies should respond to global economic headwinds. In a more uncertain world, Europe has to toughen up. Advancing the single market is key to productivity & growth.

01:23Thank you, Greece, for becoming the newest partner of our capacity development work. As I told FM @Pierrakakis, Greece has come a long way: from a country needing support to now able to help others. It will contribute to SEETAC, strengthening economic institutions in SE Europe.
