Europe has a problem. Its energy security is under pressure due to its reliance on foreign fossil fuels. Building out domestic energy sources would be a significant step towards achieving strategic independence. It would also help achieve ECB’s objectives of maintaining low inflation, while contributing to EU’s economic and climate goals.

What role has the ECB’s monetary policy played in Europe’s green transition? Has it been technology-neutral or have some energy companies benefited more than others?

Sustainable Finance Lab is hosting a webinar to discuss how monetary policy could contribute to Europe’s energy security. The event will include presentations by Mark Sanders (Professor of International Economics, Maastricht University, and SFL fellow) and Andrea Polo (Associate Professor of Finance, LUISS).
