Global sales of electric cars continue to break records 📈
In 2024, 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide was electric. In 2025, it's set to be more than 1 in 4 – with EV sales expected to exceed 20 million despite economic uncertainties

New ECB podcast on the economic implications of AI, featuring myself and teammates Antonio and Guzman. I focus on the interaction with the green transition. My hot tip for data and reports on AI and electricity demand is the @IEA website. Don't let me down now, I expect a report!
What does AI mean for the economy? Will it take our jobs? Can it boost productivity? Is it a choice of going green or going digital?
We answer these questions in our latest episode of #TheECBPodcast.

With all due respect to the "Humanity's last exam" folks, the essence of humanity is not contained in any static test, but in our ability to continually evolve both in asking and answering questions we never, in our wildest dreams, thought we would--generation after generation..

Africa has a huge potential for renewable energy.
Yet, 600 million African people lack access to electricity.
Now is the time to step up.
In Davos I’m inviting the private sector to invest in renewables in Africa.
Thank you @GlblCtzn for your support on this campaign.
