Corporate taxation
Apostolos Thomadakis scrive, in un paper per Centre for European Policy Studies (‘EU corporate taxation in the digital era’), che nel luglio 2021, al fine di garantire che i profitti delle multinazionali siano tassati dove si svolgono le attività economiche, l’OCSE (G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) ha concordato una soluzione a due pilastri. Nel dicembre 2021, la Commissione europea ha proposto una direttiva per l’attuazione del secondo pilastro nell’UE. Nel dicembre 2022, gli Stati membri hanno concordato all’unanimità di adottare la direttiva, garantendo un livello minimo globale di tassazione del 15% per le multinazionali. Lo studio evidenzia i principali sviluppi della tassazione delle imprese negli ultimi decenni sia nell’UE che negli USA. Analizza l’attività delle multinazionali e il trasferimento dei profitti, nonché l’impatto di un’imposta minima sulle società del 15%. Discute inoltre i punti critici della struttura del Secondo Pilastro
Apostolos Thomadakis writes, in a paper for Centre for European Policy Studies (‘EU corporate taxation in the digital era’), that in July 2021, in order to ensure that multinationals’ profits are taxed where economic activities take place, the OECD (G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) agreed on a two-pillar solution. In December 2021, the European Commission proposed a directive to implement the second pillar in the EU. In December 2022, Member States unanimously agreed to adopt the directive, guaranteeing an overall minimum level of taxation of 15% for multinationals. The study highlights the main developments in corporate taxation in recent decades in both the EU and the US. It analyses the activities of multinationals and the transfer of profits, as well as the impact of a 15% minimum corporate tax. It also discusses the critical points of the Second Pillar structure

Global order
Laurence Nardon, in un podcast per French Institute of International Relations, discute che, mentre l’ONU sembra perdere importanza nella governance globale, gli Stati Uniti si concentrano sui forum regionali: Washington sta facendo i conti con il fatto di non essere più la potenza centrale del mondo? Siamo di nuovo in un mondo “multipolare” ? Come si organizza ora l’ordine mondiale?
Laurence Nardon, in a podcast for French Institute of International Relations, discusses that while the UN seems to be losing importance in global governance, the US is focusing on regional forums: is Washington coming to terms with the fact that it is no longer the world’s central power? Are we once again in a ‘multipolar’ world? How is the world order now organised?

Africa
Cullen S. Hendrix (Peterson Institute for International Economics) scrive che i colpi di Stato che hanno colpito i Paesi africani esportatori di minerali critici (Guinea, Niger e ora Gabon) complica gli sforzi dei governi occidentali per rafforzare il buon governo, la protezione dell’ambiente e gli standard di lavoro nel loro approccio condiviso alla costruzione di catene di approvvigionamento di minerali critici nell’ambito della Minerals Security Partnership
Cullen S. Hendrix (Peterson Institute for International Economics) writes that the coups d’état in critical minerals-exporting African countries (Guinea, Niger and now Gabon) complicates Western governments’ efforts to strengthen good governance, environmental protection and labour standards in their shared approach to building critical minerals supply chains under the Minerals Security Partnership

Europe – G20 – IMEEC
Fanny Sauvignon e Stefania Benaglia (Centre for European Policy Studies) scrivono che, dopo il G20 a Presidenza indiana, il risultato strategico per l’Europa è il Corridoio IMEEC che dimostra come l’aggregazione delle risorse possa tradursi in potere geopolitico, portando il discorso sulla cooperazione economica in una dimensione completamente nuova
Fanny Sauvignon and Stefania Benaglia (Centre for European Policy Studies) write that, after the Indian G20 Presidency, the strategic achievement for Europe is the IMEEC Corridor, which shows how the pooling of resources can translate into geopolitical power, taking the discourse on economic cooperation into a whole new dimension

India
Nilanjan Banik (East Asia Forum) scrive che, visto il numero crescente di indiani che si affidano alla gig economy, occorre l’intervento del governo per sostenere i loro diritti con pratiche di lavoro umane

Indo-Pacific Economic Framework
Abigail Dahlman and Mary E. Lovely (Peterson Institute for International Economics) write that the IPEF countries (Australia, Brunei, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, the US and Vietnam) are seeking to diversify their trading partners to better respond to future supply chain crises. It is uncertain whether the IPEF agreement, aimed at reducing the region’s dependence on China, will achieve the expected result

USA
Lawrence H. Summers discute, in una lecture per Peterson Institute for International Economics, il ‘nuovo’ Washington Consensus. Summers sostiene che iniziative come l’Inflation Reduction Act e il CHIPS Act sono utili più per la loro capacità di affrontare le questioni ambientali e di sicurezza piuttosto che sul contributo all’innalzamento del tenore di vita della classe media
Lawrence H. Summers discusses the ‘new’ Washington Consensus in a lecture for Peterson Institute for International Economics. Summers argues that initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act are useful more for their ability to address environmental and security issues rather than their contribution to raising the living standards of the middle class
