07:10μιας ενδιαφέρει και διαφέρει στις σχέσεις του.
07:14Ολογικό κέντρικο όλο δικαιώνο της κερδίδας δεν είναι η καλύτερη moyen να γυνανήσει με αυτό.
07:20Πιστεύω ότι η καλύτερη μέση να γυνήσει με αυτό το πρόβλημα είναι να αναδιαφέρει
07:23τι είναι τόσο πρόβλημα και πώς αυτό το πρόβλημα μπορεί να γυνανήσει.
07:27Και η κοινωνία έχει δημιουργήσει με τον Βλαδιμέρου Ποτέμπι,
07:31και τον Πρόεδρο Πρόεδρο Πρόεδρο, έχουμε ακόμα την ειδοχή.
07:32οι ευρωπαίοι είναι αυτοί, δικαίωσης, ευρωπαϊκό, εξαρτηθείς,
07:36πιστεύουμε ότι είμαστε σε αυτό το προσπέκτη,
07:38που είμαστε σε μια ευρωπαϊκή μουσήτηση,
07:39ή είναι και οι χινείς,
07:41είναι η συμμετοχή που έχει αλλάξει την Ευρώπη μέρος του μετρικούς τελούτου.
07:45Έτσι, πρώτα, δεν υπάρχει καλύτερο με την κουλειά ευρωπαϊκή.
07:49Αν όμως, το χειρισμό, το μυσήμα,
07:52αν όμως, αντιμετωπίζει ανθρώπους
07:53για ένα πιο που έχει μια κουλειά ευρωπαϊκή.
07:56Έτσι, ένα μυσήμα που λέει «νισεύμα και η Ευρωπαϊκή».
08:00Ήλουίου, ότι είναι το εγγραφή που θέλω?
08:01Είμαι ότι θα σας πω κάτι.
08:02Αν σας πωθήστε,
08:03αν είτε κάποιους εξαρτηρισμού και αντιμετωπινούς,
08:08εξαρτηθείς στον πρόβλημα της αρχής,
08:10εξαρτηθείς στον πρόβλημα της υγητής,
08:12θα σας πωθήστε ότι αυτό δεν είναι ένα μυσήμα.
08:15Αυτό είναι ένα πολύ, πολύ αρχικό και πιο έκονομικό
08:21σας πωθήστε ότι το χρειάζει στο τρόπο.
08:22Ο χρειάζεστε να μην πωθήστε να το χρειάζει το χρόνο.
08:25Δεν πρέπει να βγωθεί Ευρωπαϊκή,
08:28θα πρέπει να βγωθεί στην Ευρωπαϊκή,
08:29να υπωθεί στην Ευρώπη, να υπωθήσει το χρειάσμα.
08:30Και, όχι, η πιο σημασία του πρώμα της προσώπης,
08:34πρόσβαστες, που καταφέσουν το πρόβλημα της αρχής,
08:35όταν βλέπωθώ στον γεύμα της ΓΚης,
08:38Δεν θα πωδηγήσουμε ένας δυνατότητα, αλλά γνωρίζουμε ότι η κοινωνία είναι αλλαγής και θα κάνουμε το ίδιο.
08:43Και όταν στις χιλιάδες, αυτό είναι επίσης που προσπαθεί αυτές τις αλλαγές.
08:47Υπάρχει πολλές κρίσεις σχέδια με την αλλαγή και την αλλαγή στην πολιτική.
08:52Αν όμως, το βίντεο έχει δίκτυο στις ευρωπαϊκές, στις ευρωπαϊκές τους, στις εξαιρετικές τους, και προσπαθήσουμε να τους αντιμετωπίσουμε.
08:59Δεν θεωρώστε να κράψουμε τον άλλο του χρόνια, ή να προσπαθήσουμε τον εξαιρετικόν τον ένα ή τον άλλο.
09:05Πρέπει να πρέπει να ευρωπαθούμε πίσω που έχουμε και να έχουμε πολλές διαπίσεις.
09:11Λεραγγή τους και προσπαθούμε να αντιμετωπίσουμε τις αλλαγές.
09:14Υπάρχει κάποιες εξαιρετικές φύρες.
09:17Η κίνδυγκή μας δεν είναι τόσο όμως εξαιρετικό, αλλά υπάρχουν πίσω άξιες που έχουν εξαιρετικές φύρες.
09:22And I'm delighted to see that both the Commission and the Irish Presidency want to move further and faster on
09:28this front.
09:29And we've seen that this week with the digital euro.
09:32Yes.
09:33And I have to ask, it may seem a trivial question, but what is the digital euro?
09:37Because on this stance in Brussels, I've heard MEPs who say this is a way to kill cash.
09:42And the head of the European Central Bank wants to control our every move.
09:46Oh, my gosh.
09:47What's the digital euro?
09:48Absolutely not.
09:49Let me first, you know, celebrate the fact that the parliament has endorsed massively the mandate for this Trilog discussion
09:57that will take place and hopefully will be concluded by December.
10:01But let me go back to that.
10:03This piece of legislation will actually produce two results.
10:07The first one is that it will make cash and the digital euro, both legal tender, which means that nowhere
10:17in Europe can anybody say to anyone, sorry, I'm not taking your banknotes.
10:22I'm not taking your European coins because now it has legal tender.
10:26It has to be honored.
10:27So cash is actually elevated to this legal tender level where nobody anywhere in Europe can say, I'm not taking
10:35your money because it is banknotes.
10:37No.
10:37So banknotes are secured and protected.
10:39And by the way, before the end of this year, in December 26, we will have a set of proposals
10:46that will be the new design and the new face of our banknotes so that there is a close link
10:51between you, me and the banknotes.
10:54So that's on the banknotes.
10:55So no, cash will not go away.
10:57Cash will be rejuvenated.
10:59Digital euro.
11:00We need to move into a digital world.
11:03You book your trips using digital.
11:06You buy your transportation tickets using digital.
11:10You buy by digital means, whether you do your grocery shopping or whether you buy your clothes.
11:16We need to have also central bank money.
11:19For the moment, it's only banknotes, but we need to have it in digital form.
11:23And if it is cheaper, if it is faster, and if you can use it throughout Europe, even the better.
11:29And the overall question, however, is how is that going to serve the euro's competitiveness?
11:33Because there is a real competition now for who will be and who will run currencies in the future.
11:38Is it still a dollar story?
11:40Dollar is king.
11:41You also see the Chinese heavily pushing for their own currency.
11:44The best thing I know is a European solution.
11:47At the moment, we do not have that.
11:49So if you pay, in most instances, 60% of the cases, you use payment infrastructure that is under foreign
11:58capital.
11:59So we depend on predominantly U.S., but also sometimes China networks to organize payments.
12:06We need to have a European solution because we want to be sovereign at home.
12:11So that's what the digital euro will do because you will have digital euro for retail when you go to
12:16the shop,
12:16when you buy with a friend, when you want to share a bill.
12:19But we will also have what we call wholesale digital euro, which will enable the banks to organize their transaction
12:27in digital form as well.
12:29And some expected because of the major changes coming out of the U.S.
12:32that we would see sort of move away from the dollar and that the euro could benefit from.
12:36And the numbers a year later, they show minimal pickup.
12:39It should have been, some would argue, a much stronger effect to cash in those inflows.
12:44Is this a root of concern that even with this uncertainty, the euro was not able to capitalize on it?
12:51Or would you say, look, this is a 20-year story.
12:53I can promise you in 20 years that share will be much higher.
12:56I would never promise anything because there is so much uncertainty.
13:00And those movements take time.
13:02What we have seen in history, when the sterling pound, you know, was gradually replaced by the U.S. dollar,
13:09it took that long, if not a bit more.
13:11So what I'm saying today is that the euro is a solid currency.
13:1625 years ago, soon 30 years ago, people were saying, ah, it's dead on arrival.
13:22It's not dead on arrival.
13:23Many keep betting against it.
13:24It is solid and strong.
13:25Absolutely.
13:25Absolutely.
13:26So it is solid and strong.
13:27The European Central Bank is well established, credible and highly respected.
13:32The monetary union is a force, but it is not enough.
13:36We have to go beyond that.
13:38We have to be credible from a security point of view.
13:40We have to be solid from an economic point of view with lots of trade agreements.
13:45This is in process.
13:47And we have to make sure that our institutions are solid and that the rule of law is respected.
13:52But I would contend that the euro has remained stable and slightly increasing in terms of support and attractiveness.
14:00I hear a lot of noises along those lines.
14:03And to that extent, I do have to ask you, going back to the question of China, there is a
14:08message that is legitimate.
14:09And that is, Europeans are saying, what a fair deal.
14:11The numbers coming out of China, when you look at that trade deficit, it's a deficit after a deficit.
14:16They sell a lot more than we do to them.
14:18When you look at the trade surplus last year from the Chinese, it's another record.
14:22There's no indication that they are rebalancing in any way that is fair to Europeans.
14:26There's a deadline now in October.
14:28What happens if the Chinese do not respond to that deadline?
14:31The easy cop-out answer would be, it's not my business, it's the business of the trade commissioner.
14:35But I know you care about Europe.
14:37I care very much about Europe.
14:39And I care very much about keeping an international trade system in place that is sensible and that is propitious
14:45to the exchanges between nations and between enterprises as well.
14:50So I think we need to have areas that we know are critically important and that we will not let
14:57sort of fade away to any competition, including China, of course.
15:03So you subscribe to the message that a fair deal needs to happen.
15:06It's not a fair deal what we have at this point.
15:08It's a deal that is predominantly organized under WTO.
15:12You still have about 75% of trade conducted under WTO rules.
15:17But as far as China is concerned, there has to be a discussion of adults in the room who are
15:24respecting each other's position and who are going to make sure that it's a good deal on both sides.
15:30The Chinese are very good at talking about it.
15:32We actually need to walk the talk.
15:34And this is a cross.
15:35On a sectorial basis, what it means, you know, see on a pricing basis, what it means, see on a
15:42grants and subsidies basis, what it means and see on a financing basis, what it means.
15:47And will you be monitoring that October deadline?
15:49Because some say the Europeans have put themselves in a difficult situation.
15:52If they do not respond, they're going to look weak.
15:54If they respond, there's a chance of having the bare minimum real trade tensions, potentially a trade war.
15:59You know, whenever there is a crisis, a deadline or something really hard, the Europeans are up to it.
16:04So I have full trust that this will happen.
16:06In October?
16:08You know, who am I to say that?
16:10I'm not in charge of trade negotiations.
16:12But you will be monitoring.
16:13They will appreciate the urgency of the matter and the need to find a dialogue that is productive on both
16:19sides.
16:20And, President, for Europeans, you've had to increase interest rates.
16:23You talked about some of the uncertainty facing the European economy.
16:27Just for the average European, they see that they're now operating in an environment where interest rates are much higher
16:32than they were used to just a few years ago.
16:35Is this the new normal?
16:36No, but look, I think what was not the norm was a time when interest rates were in negative territory.
16:43It was an anomaly.
16:46It's a total anomaly that if I lend you money that you will only give me back in five years,
16:51in addition to lending you money, I have to give you a bonus on it.
16:56This doesn't make any sense.
16:57I mean, everybody understands that.
16:59If I lend you money, you only pay me back in five years, you have to give me a little
17:04top-up, which is, you know, the term premium and the risk premium eventually.
17:07So, interest rates go with the payment of money over time.
17:13And if you give money, if you lend money over time, obviously there is an interest.
17:17So, I think we are more in normal time when you have an interest rate.
17:23Now, interest rates are determined with the objective that a central bank has, which is to provide price stability.
17:30If you don't have price stability, if you think that prices are going to go up or down, you're just
17:35completely confused as to what you should do, whether you should buy, whether you should sell, whether you should employ,
17:40whether you should find, whether you should invest.
17:43So, what our mission is, is price stability.
17:46And for that, the big tool, especially when you have inflation rising its nose, is interest rates.
17:52So, we slightly increased interest rates, which are now at 2.25%, when we have the latest reading of inflation
17:59at 2.8%.
18:01Not to say that we align with inflation, because our goal is medium term.
18:07We need to see inflation returning to 2% in about three years' time.
18:11And that's what we have with the projections that we produce.
18:14And on that level of interest rates, which is so key for European consumers, your message is to say, this
18:20is the level that we believe will be the base for the months to come, ultimately.
18:26You have to be okay with this.
18:28Understand that this is the level now.
18:31Potentially even go a leg higher, depending on how things go.
18:33We do an assessment at each and every meeting.
18:36We meet roughly every six weeks.
18:37And we look at all the fundamentals.
18:39We look at the projections that we have.
18:42We look at the estimated inflation in three years, in two years, in one year's time.
18:47We look at the underlying inflation.
18:49What is it without oil and gas?
18:51What is it without food?
18:53What is it if you take out the most volatile things?
18:55What is it if you take out tobacco and all?
18:57We have multiple measurements.
18:59Then we also look at how this is propagated throughout the economy and what it produces ultimately in the medium
19:06term.
19:07And it's on the basis of all that that we say, we are fine, or we should go down a
19:11bit, or we should go up a bit.
19:12And, Madame Lagarde, I have to ask you, of course, about France.
19:15Just a final question.
19:17France is, Juncker used to say, it's not just any country.
19:20France is France.
19:21This is a founding member.
19:22And Jean-Claude is Jean-Claude.
19:23And he is, of course, he is.
19:25And he also used to say, look, this is a founding member of the European Union.
19:29It is systemically important when it comes to the Euro area.
19:32But beyond that, it's a country that represents a form of ideals to the world.
19:36It's a republic for its citizens.
19:38At this point, and this week, we've had now what seems to be now an idea of who will be
19:44able to run or not, in which conditions crystallize.
19:49Le Pen will be a candidate.
19:50And if I look at polls now, there is a real scenario in which the final ticket, the two final
19:55candidates, will represent extremes, certainly in the European Parliament.
19:59Jean-Luc Mélenchon is really on the left in the European Parliament.
20:02She is on the Patriots for Europe, a creature created by Viktor Orban to change Europe.
20:06When you look at that final ticket, and it is a possibility, do you say, yes, it is an existential
20:12threat to France, and therefore it is an existential threat to the stability of the European economy?
20:18You know, I try to look at all member states without diving deep into the politics of anyone.
20:26Of course, as a French, I have my own views.
20:29I keep them to myself.
20:30But what I very much hope is that the democratic process will continue.
20:35You know, in politics, the next, you know, eight months is eternity.
20:38So, so many things can happen.
20:40We will be monitoring.
20:41We will be looking at the risk level.
20:43We will be looking at all that carefully.
20:45and we hope that reason will always prevail and that France will appreciate, whoever is the leader for France, that
20:52it is one key member of Europe and that Europe is the only playground within which member states, nations, even
21:00France, can actually play a significant role.
21:03On the European voice, some would say that is the anomaly at this stage.
21:07There are many, many in Europe who feel proud of being Europeans, and no politician at this point seems to
21:13be able to tap really into that appetite for a political offer that really puts that up front.
21:19Are you, do you find that bizarre that in France, no one is occupying that space?
21:23And some would argue, maybe you should occupy it.
21:26Well, I will certainly explain to the extent I can, you know, why the European dimension is so critical.
21:33In a campaign or in your role as the head of the EU?
21:34I will explain that in whichever capacity I will be most efficient.
21:38It's all open for you at this point.
21:40I'm not a candidate for anything, but I'm very keen that Europe is protected, that Europe is the framework within
21:47which member states operate, including France.
21:50Well, President Lagarde, thank you so much for joining us on ERA News.
21:52Thank you very much.
