Q: On President Von der Leyen dinner and Did the Fed NGFS withdrawal.

A: President Von Der Leyen indicated what the EC would focus on in her framework in order to restore competitiveness and eliminate red tape. It was also a chance for her to hear from governors what their concerns are more generally. We’ll have other guests ahead.
