Frank Elderson: From climate and natural risks to economic resilience and competitiveness
Frank Elderson, a member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank, said at the Green Swan 2026 conference that climate and natural risks have become structural macro factors affecting growth, inflation and financial stability.
Editorial Comment
The Executive Committee of the European Central Bank defines climate and natural risks as structural macro factors that affect growth, inflation and financial stability, which prompts the market to incorporate non-traditional risks into long-term considerations of the euro area's policy path and asset pricing. Traders can pay attention to whether the policy uncertainty and financing channel obstacles faced by green investment will disrupt capital expenditure and productivity in the euro area, thereby affecting the mid- to long-term risk premium of the euro as well as gold’s hedging and real interest rate logic.
