ESG Scrutiny | Companies providing environmental, social and governance ratings will soon have to explain their methodologies and secure regulatory approval to continue using them, under a draft European Commission proposal we've seen. The plan aims to make the booming ESG market more transparent.
Criticizing Warsaw | The US and the EU condemned a new law that will allow Poland's ruling party to investigate opposition leader Donald Tusk. Voicing US concerns, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that a special Polish parliamentary panel probing Russia's meddling in the country "could be used to block the candidacy of opposition politicians without due process." Forget Euro 7 | France's finance minister joined automakers in calling on the EU to walk back anti-pollution regulation known as Euro 7, which will go into effect in 2025. "Perhaps we would do better to forget this Euro 7 standard, which will cost our car manufacturers useless money," Bruno Le Maire said yesterday in northern France. Read what else he said. Polish Rates | The Polish central bank needs greater certainty that inflation will slow rapidly before it will begin cutting interest rates, policymaker Iwona Duda told us ahead of the release of new economic figures. According to forward-rate agreements, traders are pricing in 45 basis points in rate cuts over the next six months. Positive Outlook | The ECB's unprecedented series of interest rates hikes isn't derailing economic growth in the euro zone, according to Mario Centeno. "Given the situation, the numbers are good. I don't see overshooting," the Governing Council member said yesterday. |
