Bonnes Journées européennes du patrimoine à toutes et à tous. Nos monuments, nos paysages, nos forêts, nos savoir-faire et nos traditions : notre patrimoine raconte notre histoire et fait vivre nos territoires. Depuis 2017, nous avons fait de sa sauvegarde une priorité. Restaurer, protéger, faire renaître. Avec la Mission Patrimoine et le Loto du patrimoine, avec une mobilisation exceptionnelle de la Nation, nous avons agi partout en France pour préserver cet héritage commun. La renaissance de Notre-Dame de Paris a montré ce dont nous sommes capables lorsque nous unissons nos forces. Cet élan… English, from French Happy European Heritage Days to all. Our monuments, our landscapes, our forests, our know-how and our traditions: our heritage tells our story and brings our territories to life. Since 2017, we have made its preservation a priority. Restore, protect, revive. With the Heritage Mission and the Heritage Lottery, with exceptional mobilization of the Nation, we have acted throughout France to preserve this common heritage. The rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris has shown what we are capable of when we unite our strengths. This momentum…

Très fier de rencontrer à Orange les jeunes de la première promotion du Service national. Se former. Faire corps. Se dépasser. Servir la France. Pour cette année de lancement, 3000 jeunes volontaires de 18 à 25 ans serviront pendant dix mois sous l’uniforme, avec le statut militaire. Face au retour des menaces, nous continuons de renforcer nos armées. En dix ans, leur budget aura doublé. Nous renforçons aussi notre capacité à tenir ensemble. En assurant des missions utiles à notre défense, le Service national y contribue. Il rapproche notre jeunesse de ses armées et donne à une génération les… English, from French Very proud to meet the young people of the first cohort of National Service at Orange. To train. To bond. To push themselves. To serve France. For this launch year, 3,000 young volunteers aged 18 to 25 will serve for ten months in uniform, with military status. Faced with the return of threats, we continue to strengthen our armies. In ten years, their budget will have doubled. We are also strengthening our ability to stick together. By carrying out missions useful to our defense, National Service contributes to this. It brings our youth closer to its armies and gives a generation the…

Aux côtés du Premier ministre irakien Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, qui a choisi la France pour la première étape de sa tournée européenne. Un choix qui compte et montre que la France peut jouer un rôle d’équilibre. Agir pour la stabilité de la région, c’est défendre les intérêts des Français. Sécuriser nos approvisionnements énergétiques en travaillant à la désescalade et en développant des routes alternatives au détroit d’Ormuz, c’est réduire la pression sur le prix à la pompe. Développer notre coopération de défense et de sécurité avec nos partenaires, c’est continuer ensemble la lutte sans relâche… English, from French Alongside the Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, who chose France for the first stop on his European tour. A choice that matters and shows that France can play a balancing role. Acting for the stability of the region means defending the interests of the French people. Securing our energy supplies by working towards de-escalation and developing alternative routes to the Strait of Hormuz means reducing pressure on pump prices. Developing our defense and security cooperation with our partners means continuing the relentless fight together…

Good question, even if framed too aggressively. But the answer is no. During QE, given the zero lower bound that prevented further decreases in policy rates, the ECB bought long maturity national bonds, including those of France, so as to decrease long-term interest rates and help countries, including France. Now, as we are away from the lower bound, there are few reasons to keep as many of them. As these are sold (or not rolled over at maturity) through QT, this indeed likely increases long rates a bit and makes it harder for France to adjust. If selling these bonds turns out to be strongly… Quoting @RobianoAntoine Le raisonnement paraît juste mais - L'annulation de la dette détenue retirerait à la BCE l'une de ces nombreuses sources de pouvoir exorbitant, celui de revendre des titres de dette publique d'un Etat pour contraindre politiquement ce dernier ? interest rates Related

Inigo Fraser Jenkins (@AB_insights) on why the US track record isn't the whole story: Rank markets by market cap in 1899: the US and UK compounded beautifully. Japan, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France? Effectively wiped out. "There is this inherent survivorship bias in the way people think about long-run returns."

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
