EU Taxonomy and ECB Monetary Policy: Moving Towards Centrally-Directed Green Capital Allocation?

Gunther Schnabl

The Economists' Voice, 2022, vol. 19, issue 2, 267-273

Abstract: Prominent ECB representatives have stressed the goal of the ECB to green its monetary policy, inter alia by moving from market neutrality to (green) market efficiency as guiding principle of monetary policy making. The paper explores how the EU taxonomy could become the benchmark for a monetary policy of the ECB, which influences the credit allocation of commercial banks, with a negative impact on allocation efficiency and growth in the European Union.
