Question for all european Fallen London players:

I was talking with @that-giorgione today and we thought it would be nice to organise a meeting somewhere in 2025.

This is just to know if anyone would be interested in saying hello in person and hanging out. Nothing big, we can meet and chat at lunch/dinner/at a bar/etc ✌️

If anyone is interested, I will post more polls to understand where and when exactly we could do this.

Not to be an America First MAGA nut, but I think we should be spending hundreds of billions of dollars fixing the childcare crisis, reducing child hunger, and providing Medicare for All instead of spending it on other countries’ militaries. Like sorry your kids are dying, but we have our own children to worry about.

Maybe if you live in a politically unstable region you should devote more of your government spending to your own defense instead of expecting us to be Team America World Police about it

Italy to postpone budget plan until after EU deadline

Italian Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Ciriani, stated that the country would not present its new budget plan until next month, missing the European Union’s September deadline.

Parliament wanted the Treasury to take into account upcoming revisions to economic growth data for 1995-2023, the minister said. National statistics bureau ISTAT this week pre-announced an upward revision to GDP of 0.9-1.2% in 2021 and announced it would submit a full report on 23 September.

We don’t know what the impact of the revisions will be, but they could affect the budget plan figures. The government will present the plan in the first week of October so that lawmakers can have a look at the impact of the data coming from ISTAT.

The Cabinet would also hold a preliminary discussion on the plan’s targets and GDP forecasts on 17 September, ahead of the ISTAT review, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti revealed.

The EU imposed the so-called excessive deficit procedure on Italy this year after the budget deficit for 2023 was 7.4 per cent of GDP, the highest in the eurozone and well above the bloc’s 3 per cent ceiling.

In its budget plan, which aims to reduce the budget deficit in line with EU regulations, the Treasury is due to reiterate a commitment to reduce the deficit below 3 per cent in 2026, according to statements last month. The new fiscal rules require slow but steady deficit and debt reduction from 2025 over four to seven years, depending on commitments to reforms and strategic investments.

However, former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte denounced the incumbent PM Giorgia Meloni’s handling of the state budget.

For 2 years now, to justify the cuts and the lack of impact measures for families and businesses, Meloni has been hiding behind the lie of budget holes that do not exist. (…) This is certainly not a dispute between a former and the current Prime Minister, who lacks intellectual honesty and seeks to discredit the flattering results obtained by a previous Executive.

Brussels Set to Begin Talks on EU Crypto Tax, Report Reveals

The talks with national treasuries are expected to start next year with the aim to end the differentiated tax treatment of cryptocurrencies across the bloc’s 27 jurisdictions.

European Union to Consider Single Tax Regime for Crypto Income and Profits

The executive body in Brussels, the European Commission, intends to soon launch talks with the financial ministries of the member states on whether establishing a Union-wide tax regime for crypto is warranted, a report by Politico revealed Thursday, quoting three EU officials. The discussions are set to begin in 2023, the sources told the publication. Their focus will be on sharing best practices as currently cryptocurrency wealth is subject to different taxes in each country. Commenting on the initiative, a spokesperson for the Commission elaborated: Difficulties in classifying, valuing and administering crypto assets pose challenges to tax administrations seeking to tax them fairly and effectively. Before implementing a single tax regime, however, the European Union needs to introduce new requirements for crypto companies to collect details of digital asset owners, both individuals and businesses, and share them with tax authorities across the EU, the report remarks. This would allow tax administrations to have a clear idea about crypto holdings. The European Commission is expected to propose such regulations in December or January but it is likely to start enforcing them in 2026, which will allow it to impose the crypto tax the following year. European institutions have been working on a comprehensive legislative framework for cryptocurrencies called Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) which was agreed upon this summer. Media reports attributed a delay in its adoption to the need to translate the complex legal document into all official languages of the EU. MiCA should come into force in 2024. At present, member states employ different rules to tax income and capital gains from crypto, with rates ranging between zero and 33%, Politico notes. Authorities in some European countries are revising policies in advance of a possible decision at the EU level. Portugal, for example, which was not taxing gains from crypto trading, unless they are part of a business activity, now intends to impose a levy on profits from short-term crypto investments starting from 2023. Traders who cash out any crypto gains made under a year will face a tax of 28%, according to the budget for next year. Do you think the EU will eventually introduce a single tax regime for crypto assets? Share your expectations in the comments section below. Read the full article

Home prices rising again in Germany

The recession in Germany’s urban residential real estate sector, which caused rare discounts, is coming to an end. The reason for this turnaround is a growing housing shortage in key cities as Germany’s growth momentum catches up with the rest of Europe, Bloomberg reports.

Just a 30-minute walk along the Rhine River from the world-famous Cologne Cathedral, homes with oak floors, spacious patios and spa-like bathrooms were until recently selling at discounts that could reach €57,000 ($62,000).

Anett Barsch, head of project development at Swiss Life Asset Managers’ German division, said the deal offered by the developer of the 300-apartment Viva Agrippina project was meant to stimulate demand after potential buyers were left in “shock” when the European Central Bank raised interest rates in 2022, causing mortgage costs to soar.

Unfortunately, those who missed out on this rise are now out of luck. The recession in Germany’s urban residential real estate sector, which was the reason for the rare discounts, is coming to an end. The reason for this turnaround is a growing housing shortage in key cities as Germany’s growth momentum catches up with the rest of Europe. Read more HERE
