Breakfast talk with Mr. Marco Valli, Chief Eurozone Economist at Unicredit

Mr. Marco Valli, Chief Eurozone Economist at Unicredit Developed Countries in good shape as FED and ECB decouple  US rates have finally departed from the zero lower bound and 2016 will shed light on the Fed’s reaction function in a post-crisis environment. We expect the rate normalization to continue at a faster pace than priced in by financial markets, but this tightening cycle will remain very shallow compared to those of the past. In the Eurozone, the recovery is set to gain traction, powered mainly by domestic demand, which should make up for a still difficult external environment. However, the upward trend in core inflation remains painfully slow, and headline inflation will continue to significantly undershoot the ECB’s target for the foreseeable future. More monetary easing is a distinct possibility. Political risk is a key variable to monitor across Europe: we explain what is concerning, and what is not. In the global landscape, China will remain an important source of volatility, but the short-term macro outlook is not as bad as financial markets seem to think. The recovery in developed countries is unlikely to be derailed. About the speaker Marco Valli has responsibility for the bank’s view on the euro area economy and ECB policy. Before being appointed Chief Eurozone Economist, Marco covered the position of Chief Italian Economist from 2006 until mid-2010. Marco’s analyses and comments are often quoted on financial media like the FT and Bloomberg. Prior to joining UniCredit in 2004, Marco worked as European Economist in the asset allocation department of Fideuram SGR. Marco holds a degree in Economics at Bocconi University (Milan, 2000), and a master degree in Quantitative Finance (Bocconi, 2002). Marco co-authored the study “Global Inflation – The Ghost in the Machine?” which was awarded the Rybczynski Prize for the best piece of business economics writing in 2007 by the Society of Business Economists.

Toys for Tots

Toys for Tots Get into the holiday spirit to support Toys for Tots: Bring an unwrapped new toy. Have a drink or two and some food; meet the US Marines, see Santa, and participate in some Christmas activities for the whole family. Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks and his wife Diane realized that there was no organization for giving toys to underprivileged children. That year, Major Bill Hendricks, USCR and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The project was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted Toys for Tots in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign. Over the years, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program have distributed over 400 million toys to more than 188 million disadvantaged children around the world.  Honorary Chairperson: Mrs. Crystal Wagar
