Graham Bishop is renowned for his vision and the courage to propose radical ideas, yet ground them in a mastery of the technical details of the financial system. He has been referred to as a one-man think tank.
European Commission: His influence at the meeting point of politics, economics and finance has been recognised on many occasions - most recently when the European Commission asked him to study the attitudes of investors toward the euro area sovereign bond markets. In particular, he explored attitudes towards the potential for a “common euro area safe asset”: what characteristics should it possess and whether it would ameliorate any of the concerns expressed about the features of existing bond markets.
Graham's many pro bono activities illuminate and reinforce his Consultancy Services. His deep knowledge of Europe’s financial system is integrated with his understanding of EU economic and budgetary policy-making – whilst set within the necessary framework of democratic accountability.
He was a member of the Commission's Consultative Group on the Impact of the Euro on Capital Markets; of the Commission's Strategy Group on Financial Services; and of the Committee of Independent Experts on the preparation of the changeover to the single currency (1994/5).
This Website, as well as Graham's Consultancy Service, is designed to bring clients the direct insights that flow from Graham’s position as a leading technical analyst of economic and structural developments in the financial markets of Europe.
"Institutional investors and major financial firms now face a huge commercial challenge in Europe. The vision of political integration has entered a critical phase: ...."
"..analysis of obscure bureaucratic manoeuvrings towards fiscal union, labour mobility and tax co-ordination etc. is quite outside the comfort zone of many..."
"It is now entirely foreseeable that governments may make potentially far-reaching changes that would impact the valuation of European financial assets, as well as reforming the nature of the regulations governing key parts of the financial sector’s business".
"..So the consequences of this crisis will be historic – and will reverberate around global financial markets. The stakes for participants in European financial markets could not be higher.."
Consultancy services can take many forms: face-to-face meetings, telephone discussions, written comments, speeches, special articles, customised research projects, etc.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) presented the main messages of its regular review of euro area policies. Its concluding statement will be published shortly.
The Eurogroup exchanged views on the international role of the euro, based on the annual review published by the European Central Bank. The European Commission also presented its views and analysis.
The euro continues to be the second most important international currency behind the dollar. Nonetheless, we are all aware of challenges created by the current geopolitical and economic context. Sound economic policies in the euro area and a deeper Economic and Monetary Union are at the top of the list of the steps that we can take to continue preserving the international role of the euro and to strengthen it in the future. Paschal Donohoe, President of the Eurogroup In inclusive format: Euro area competitiveness: the role of industrial policy and market integration The Eurogroup held a fifth exchange of views on euro area competitiveness, focusing on the role of industrial policy. Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF Managing Director, joined this discussion. Building on the analysis by the Commission and the IMF, ministers discussed possible conditions for a successful industrial policy in a European context. We acknowledged that there can be situations in which carefully designed industrial policies can play a useful role, for example for pan-European public goods. At the same time, ministers are aware that it is not as easy as it sounds – so there was a lot of emphasis on supportive framework conditions for businesses, to preserve the level playing field within the Single Market.
