Who We Are
Econostream Media is a financial newswire with a mission to improve understanding of monetary policy and debt issuance by reporting on and analysing the central banks and debt issuance agencies, their policies and how they impact the financial markets.
Central bank policy has never been more important to the economy and the financial markets; it’s arguably been the single biggest driver over the last ten years. We currently primarily focus on the European Central Bank, the Eurosystem national central banks and major European debt issuers.
We cover and report on central bank events and speeches, break news via exclusive interviews and deliver unique insights from our ECB watchers. Our reports shed light on what these institutions are doing, why they are doing it, and what they might do next. We analyse recent policy decisions and policymaker comments as well as previewing upcoming policy meetings.
We provide all of our news content for free via this website, although some reports are published with a delay. For readers who require the news service to be delivered as quickly as possible, we also offer a premium product.
