242econ "soft-launches" with ECB profiles

Dear Twenty-Four Two subscribers,

Four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and indirectly launched this newsletter, 242.news is expanding into the economics of the new Europe with 242econ.

This pull-out section will start out as a platform for publishing long-form profiles of key policymakers - especially those at the European Central Bank.

The first of these - on Klaas Knot, one of the two favourites to succeed Christine Lagarde as ECB president - is published here today.

Bafflingly, not everyone is interested in monetary policy but, if you’re one of the tribe, click through and subscribe separately (still free of charge) to 242econ. This will ensure you receive future profiles and other features as they come online.

Best, Tim.
