CHINA HAS CAPITAL WITHOUT DISCIPLINE EUROPE HAS ASSETS WITHOUT STRUCTURE my latest for @OMFIF omfif.org/2026/05/china-…

Dag Detter on the "mirror": "In China, too much capital is mobilised without enough return discipline. In Europe, capital is available, but too few public assets are structured in ways that allow it to be deployed. One system produces excess capacity. The other produces thin project pipelines." omfif.org/2026/05/china-…
