The EU's gas and power markets should benefit from a new European energy bank to reduce market volatility, Benjamin Lakatos, the CEO of energy company MET Group, told MLex in an interview. Such a central bank-like institution could stabilize price swings with tools — including liquidity injections and circuit breakers — not available in energy markets today.

“It is crucial that entrepreneurs understand that the green economy is not just a cost, but also an opportunity for long-term competitiveness”, emphasizes Mario Matković, CEO of MET Croatia Energy Trade.

Gergely Szabó, Regional Chairman of MET Central Europe, was a speaker at the Portfolio Energy Investment Forum. He stressed that we might have reached a strategic inflection point in energy, developing along three key trends: data-based operation, geopolitical escalation and green transition. He raised exciting possibilities about what specific answers could be given in the emerging new balance.
