In this issue, you will find Anis Bensaidani's editorial, as well as the update of our “EcoNews” and “Markets Overview” sections.
The independence of the Federal Reserve (Fed) has been challenged by the US administration, but it remains intact.

Yet the turbulence at the end of Jerome Powell’s term is a reminder that central bank independence is not a given. The stakes go beyond price stability alone and extend to the global financial architecture itself.
