Ever thought about how the European Central Bank (ECB) makes decisions that impact the whole European
economy? On October 9th, a group of roughly 80 ambitious students from the Financial Economics Master’s programme of Maastricht University got the rare chance to step inside the ECB and see the world of monetary policy up
close. From playing the role of EU policymakers to learning about bond transactions, it was a day packed with
insights, learning, and real experiences. One of those highlights was the deep dive into how the ECB
balances its dual objectives of maintaining price stability and fostering economic growth. Here’s how it went.

In today’s business world, companies are under increasing pressure to embrace environmental and social responsibility, not just as an act of goodwill but as a fundamental business strategy. Yet, while corporate sustainability goals are plastered across glossy annual reports, what drives the leaders behind these decisions? If money talks, what story does it tell about purpose?
