@EU_Commission @ecb #Eurogroup to set up a dialogue with China to discuss macroeconomic policy. We aim to foster mutual understanding, sustainable growth and a vibrant industry while preserving the rules-based international order. We look forward to continuing this work.

🤝This week is all about cooperation and engagement. 🇺🇦 At the Ukraine Financial Coordination Group meeting in Bangkok, I once again stressed the importance of international partners each doing their part when it comes to financing for Ukraine as it continues fighting against Russian aggression.

Pleased to take part in the 16th ministerial meeting of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action 🌎 We discussed how to preserve macroeconomic stability and fiscal space while financing resilience and the green transition in the face of higher energy prices. The 🇪🇺 is taking action to accelerate the electrification of the economy and reduce exposure to imported fossil fuels ⚡️

🇺🇦Ukraine needs the means to defend itself – now. ✅Today the @EU_Commission disburses €2.86bn under the defence part of our €90bn Ukraine Support Loan. Drones, radars, ammunition and more: we are providing tangible support to address Ukraine’s most urgent battlefield needs.

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine must come at an ever-higher cost. Today, the EU added nearly 1,600 individuals and entities to our sanctions lists – our largest wave of listings targeting Russia’s war machine since the full-scale invasion. We will keep up the pressure.

Europe continues to face the consequences of an energy shock it did not cause. At today's #Eurogroup meeting, I stressed that any support for households and companies must be well targeted and prudent. It is crucial to safeguard the fiscal credibility we have worked hard to build. My remarks ➡️ link.europa.eu/pyv3Yx

Important exchanges at today's #ECOFIN, including on: 🏦 More integrated capital markets and a more competitive EU banking sector 🇺🇦 Support for Ukraine 🇪🇺 A successful conclusion to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Read my remarks ➡️ link.europa.eu/WDXjnF

The Recovery and Resilience Facility, the centrepiece of #NextGenerationEU, is approaching the finish line. Today, the final #RRF Annual Report sets out the progress made. ✅ With €450 billion already disbursed, the RRF has shown that the EU can deliver transformative change. ➡️ Report: link.europa.eu/YJV8b4

Another milestone for #NextGenerationEU ✅ Today is the final day for 🇪🇺 Member States to submit payment requests under the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Thousands of reforms and investments funded by the #RRF have delivered real impact across the EU. Thank you for all the hard work!

Met with 🇺🇦 Finance Minister @SergiiMarchenk3 to discuss Ukraine’s financing needs, implementation of the Ukraine Support Loan, including the next €3.7 billion payment under 🇪🇺 Macro-Financial Assistance. We are also working to prepare Ukraine’s financial strategy for 2027. 🤝The EU remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine.

A pleasure to receive 🇱🇹 PM @mindaugasskink and Finance Minister @taurimas to discuss the priorities of the upcoming Lithuanian presidency of the @EUCouncil in early 2027. I welcome the ambition for a results-oriented Presidency, with security and competitiveness at its core. We also discussed Lithuania’s support to Ukraine and 🇪🇺 support to the Eastern Flank, and highly value Lithuania’s leadership in strengthening European security.

Piedaloties Eiropas Revīzijas palātas pasākumā par #REPowerEU programmu, uzsvēru tās ieguldījumu Eiropas energodrošības stiprināšanā. ⚡️ Būtiski, ka šīs investīcijas kļuva par nepieciešamo politisko katalizatoru, lai neatgriezeniski pārvarētu 🇪🇺 ES atkarību no Krievijas fosilajiem energoresursiem. Paldies ziņotājam @Mihails_Kozlovs par diskusijas veicināšanu par šo nozīmīgo tēmu!

🗨️ Today I was pleased to host the #ImplementationDialogue on how the #EuropeanSemester helps turn recommendations into action on the ground. We had a very useful exchange. I thank all participants for their engagement. 🤝 Valuable insights and feedback from regional authorities, social partners and other stakeholders will help guide our ongoing work.
