EU moves toward joint natural gas purchase to curb shortages
Construction work is being carried out on the lock island in Brunsbuettel, northern Germany, Tuesday, March 1, 2022. The port on the North Sea is under discussion as a site for a new LNG (liquefied natural gas) terminal. Europe is scrambling to reduce its natural gas depence on Russia and it won't be easy. Governments are rolling out plans for new gas imports and pipelines. But that's going to take time. For now they're rounding up more liquid gas that can come by ship instead of by pipeline from Russia. (Frank Molter/dpa via AP)

ECB sees scope for economic rebound as vaccines are rolled out
(FILES) In this file photo taken on January 23, 2020 the headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB) is pictured prior to a news conference following the meeting of the governing council of the ECB in Frankfurt am Main, western Germany. - Christine Lagarde is expected to stress the European Central Bank's commitment to cheap money on April 22, 2021, as Europe's biggest economies battle a surge in coronavirus infections that could slow the eurozone recovery. After calming jittery markets last month by promising to "significantly" step up the pace of its pandemic emergency bond purchases, analysts say the ECB's 25-member governing council is under no pressure to take fresh action. Instead, president Lagarde is likely to use her 2:30 pm (1230 GMT) press conference to reiterate the message that there will be no premature end to "favourable financing conditions" until the crisis is deemed over and the rebound is firmly on track.
