ECB | Interview with Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB

Interview with Les Échos conducted by Guillaume Benoit and Christophe Jakubyszyn on 24 June 2026 On 11 June, the ECB raised its key interest rates. Do you still think that was the right decision, given that just ten days later Iran and the United States agreed a 60-day ceasefire? We are confident that we made the right choice. As early as April, a large majority of Governing Council members were already prepared to take a decision. But at that point we...

IMF | Tokenization Can Change the World’s Financial Architecture

Policy choices will determine whether tokenized finance strengthens or fragments the financial system. Tokenization is often described as a technological upgrade enabling faster settlement, cheaper payments, and programmable assets. But it is a lot more. When financial assets and liabilities move onto shared digital ledgers, the structure of the financial system itself changes. Processes that today occur sequentially — execution, clearing, settlement —can now happen simultaneously, governed by software rather than institutional processes. Risk could migrate away from the balance sheets...

IMF | Righting Globalizations’ Wrongs

Place-based policies offer regions left behind by globalization a path beyond economic populism. One of the most firmly held beliefs in economics is that free trade is good for humanity. Yet that confidence in the economic virtue of open markets can blind the profession to the complications of deep global economic ties. When in the 1990s the world leapt into frenzied globalization, policymakers touted the potential efficiency gains but gave short shrift to possible painful distributional consequences. Those consequences have...

Bytes & Beverages: Cyber Risk in the Age of AI

Cyber risk is no longer confined to IT departments — it is now a board-level issue shaped by regulatory pressure, legal exposure, and rapidly evolving attacker capabilities. This seminar brings together legal, technical, and strategic experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore how organizations are navigating a fragmented regulatory environment, the rise of AI-enabled cybercrime, and the growing need for structured governance around AI deployment. From the US’s multi-layered regulatory system to Europe’s evolving cyber and data protection framework, the discussion will highlight where organizations are most exposed—and what “good preparedness” now actually looks like in practice.

      Troutman Pepper Locke | Beyond CAPE: Importers Move for Class Certification to Recover Liquidated IEEPA Tariffs Not Covered in Phase 1 of Refund Process

      Key Points Plaintiffs in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump moved to certify a mandatory class under Rule 23(b)(2) covering all importers whose IEEPA tariff refund claims remain ineligible for processing through the government’s CAPE program. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, requiring the government to process and pay refunds with interest on all affected entries. The government has limited CAPE to entries liquidated within the preceding 90 days,...

      About 250 years after the original 13 colonies declared their independence from England, their commercial real estate markets are facing a very different battle: CMBS office delinquencies.

Connecticut recorded the highest CMBS office delinquency rate among the states at 52.63%, with 13 properties carrying delinquent loans that have a balance of $730 million....

      Trepp | No Taxation Without Data-Center Regulation

      While no tea has been thrown into any harbors just yet, local communities throughout the country have been increasingly pushing back on data-center developments. In fact, a panelist at Trepp Connect (in NYC) in May noted that community pushback is the greatest challenge that data-center developers are facing today. Last year, at least 25 data-center projects throughout the country were canceled because of local resistance, a quadrupling of the number of projects that were canceled in 2024, according to Newmark. Communities oppose...
