Happy to pass along this announcement of the availability of the OMFIF's February 2026 Bulletin:
Europe’s place in a divided world
Making accurate predictions on the political and economic outlook for a region is difficult at the best of times. During a period of sustained geopolitical instability, where it seems anything could happen, it is almost impossible. Europe, caught between the consequences of volatile and vengeful policy-making on one side and brutal military conflict on the other, is facing a year that could make or break it as a power on the world stage.
For that reason, this edition of the OMFIF Bulletin does not attempt to be a crystal ball into Europe’s future. Instead, it lays out the various problems facing the region – including demographic pressures, political fragmentation, defence needs and low growth – and focuses on what it will take for Europe to overcome these challenges. It draws on a vast network of experienced and expert views to offer up a vision of what Europe could become if it can get its act together.
The articles in this publication do not shy away from the fact that Europe is facing an uphill climb on several issues. Contributors from the European Stability Mechanism, BNY, Capital Group, Moody’s Ratings, UBS Asset Management, Scope Ratings, London School of Economics and EY among others examine the geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts underway, observing that there are opportunities for growth amid the uncertainty, if Europe can take advantage of the situation.
The next few years will be a time of political change in Europe as major players are set to come to the end of their terms. Whoever takes on the helm of the European Central Bank will need to navigate difficult waters. As this edition of the Bulletin makes clear, Europe’s strength lies in its numbers – but forming a united front is easier said than done.
