Live from Morgan Stanley's European Financials Conference, our Head of European Banks Alvaro Serrano and European Equity Research Banks Analyst Giulia Aurora Miotto discuss how geopolitics, private credit risk and AI are testing how resilient banks really are.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Alvaro Serrano: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Alvaro Serrano, Head of European Banks.Giulia Aurora Miotto: And I'm Giulia Aurora Miotto, European Equity Research Banks Analyst.Alvaro Serrano: Today we're at our annual European Financials Conference.It's Thursday, March 19th at 1:30pm, London.We're at our European Financials conference. Attendance is up almost at record levels, a great deal of engagement with both investors and companies – with three main topics dominating the debate: geopolitics, private credit, and AI. I think, on the Middle East, clearly a lot of focus during the whole three days. I think the message from banks has been about the resilience of the business model, acknowledging the loan growth could be weaker. Some of the investment decisions could be delayed, given the uncertainty. And of course, fees could also be affected as a result. On the flip side, there's an acknowledgement that during stress, savings rates go up. Deposit growth could be better, and with a steeper curve that could be better monetized. So, the message from the banks is about the resilience of the pre-provision profit outlook. Some banks have been talking about top-up of provisions if the situation persists in a IFRS9 world. But we do believe the overall outlook for earnings is of a resilient picture. However, we acknowledge the positioning of the sector is much richer than it was this time last year. The positioning; that means if stress continues, we could see the multiple suffering. And that, to be honest, is what we see the biggest channel of contagion to the sector is – is multiple de-rating if the stress continues, in what otherwise looks like a pretty resilient earnings picture. Giulia, what did you learn on private credit? Giulia Aurora Miotto: Yes, private credit was definitely another area of big focus and worrying from investors. From a bank's perspective, all the banks that are involved in private credit highlighted a couple of things. First of all, they tend to be senior when they lend to B2Cs. Secondly, they are over collateralized by hundreds, if not thousands of loans. And then thirdly, most investment banks have been doing this for a decade or more, and they tend to partner only with prime sponsors. So overall, the message was actually rather reassuring. Alvaro, AI was the other big topic at the conference. What did you learn there? Alvaro Serrano: It's even a bigger topic than last year. And obviously some of the volatility we've seen year-to-date contributed to that. I think overall the banks are seen as net beneficiaries of AI from an operational perspective. There's an acknowledgement that in an AI world, competition might increase, deposit competition has come up. Some fee products has also come up. But you have banks guiding to 9 percentage points improvement in cost income ratio in the next three years. So, the operational savings from productivity are seeing them more than offsetting any potential increase in competition. I think the known-unknown is employment; consequences of the improved productivity further down the line. But the message in Europe is relatively reassuring considering that over 20 percent of the workforce in Europe is expected to retire [in] the next 10 years. So, overall, seen as net beneficiaries.There's also discussions around regulation Giulia… Giulia Aurora Miotto: Yes, we had Maria Luís Albuquerque, European Commissioner in charge of the Savings and Investment Union project. This was one of the most attended sessions. And we heard on one side definitely determination to deliver on the project of the savings and investment union and deepen European capital markets. And mobilize savings towards more productive investments. On the other side, investors were rather skeptical and are really in wait and see mode. Some banks highlighted that they expect the progress on some of the key packages like securitization or market integration package as soon as May. So, we think this is a key area to monitor over the coming months – from a European competitiveness standpoint, Alvaro Serrano: I think that's a great place to wrap it up. And to our audience, thanks for listening. If you enjoy listening to Thoughts on the Market, do let us know wherever you listen and share the podcast with friends and a colleague today.

Tiger populations have risen in some countries, such as Bhutan, Nepal and India, but the global population of the big cat species remains critically endangered, says Debbie Banks, campaign lead for tigers and wildlife crime at the Environmental Investigation Agency. The global tiger population was recorded at roughly 5,574 in 2022, with the species having disappeared from roughly 95% of its historical range. Banks joins Mongabay's podcast this week to detail the status of Panthera tigris, the successes and failures of the first Global Tiger Recovery Program (GTRP), what the second iteration (2.0) seeks to do differently, and what she thinks range countries need to focus on. "This story is very much a mixed bag of localized successes and elsewhere just stagnation … and a lack of political and financial investment to bring tigers back from the brink in some places." Making good on the commitments of GTRP 2.0, Banks says, would also benefit nations seeking to fulfill their environmental protection commitments under the Global Biodiversity Framework agreed upon by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). That's because tigers are what's known as an umbrella species, meaning that protecting them also protects ecosystems and a host of other species and biodiversity contained within these ecosystems. "Tigers are an apex predator, therefore a keystone species, an umbrella species, a flagship species. And by saving tigers…we save so much more."

Dearly beloved Scorekeepers, we are gathered here today to join these two in a good ol' fashioned dragging. First up, we haven't had an episode since Mr. Chalamet said what he said about ballet and opera, and if you know us, then you know we have some opinions about that. (But those opinions just might surprise you!) And then we turn to Ms. Banks. We watched the new docu-series Reality Check: America's Next Top Model over on Netflix, and let's just say we weren't impressed. In fact, we found Tyra's performance and lack of accountability for the harms done to the ANTM contestants a little reminiscent of a certain Cheeto-in-Chief. Just sayin. But fear not, after all that reading, as always we'll end with a little Pure Black Joy. Let's do it to y'all!Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige ReynoldsProducer: Rocky Jones--Hey hey, THE SCORE is now on social!

Season 4 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast is here! We're starting where it all begins: with each other.CW: in this episode, we do discuss depression, medical trauma, suicidal ideation, and suicide. In this first episode of the new season, I sit down with Kathleen Banks, a health systems researcher and Long Covid patient, for a conversation about something none of us planned for: finding our biggest cheerleaders and chosen family in our pockets.We talk about "pocket friends," - what Kathleen calls the people living in your phone who already know how you feel, who you can reach out to when a symptom scares you at 2am and, who don't need an explanation if you have to cancel a FaceTime. We explore how so many of us arrived on social media not necessarily looking for friends, but for validation, and found so much in each other. We also get into the real cost of being sick in America. It's not just co-pays and premiums, but the fancy expensive bandages you need because of MCAS, and the $77 supplements that you go without because you have to pay your phone bill so you don't lose access to your lifelines. We also discuss community care: what it looks like when you can just send someone money, no questions asked, because you know what it is to need it, or when strangers send your kids more birthday gifts than their grandparents do.Kathleen also shares her work training public health researchers in trauma-informed methods for interviewing Long Covid patients and why she used episodes of this very podcast to supplement her work. We talk about disability justice, the particular grief of Long Covid Awareness Month, and what it means to still be here, building something remarkable out of what's left.Oh, and somewhere in the middle of that, we talk about moss. I'm girl moss, not a girl boss.This is the first episode of my Long Covid Awareness Week series. Season 4 is about community - the ways we've been discarded, and about what we've built for each other anyway. We're still here because of us. My call for listener feedback on community was so well-heeded that this "episode" is being split into several parts that will all be released this week. More information about Kathleen, my beloved wife:Kathleen Banks is a health systems researcher with expertise on patient-physician relationships; systems thinking; patient advocacy; and dignity in healthcare. She specializes in the translation of evidence, high-level policies, and systems decisions at the point of care. Ms. Banks has worked with policymakers and officials from the grassroots to the global level, and uses that experience to bridge understanding on how to design and implement effective programs and policies .Ms. Banks is currently finishing her Doctor of Public Health degree at Boston University School of Public Health. Her research focuses on access to patient-centered healthcare for people living with Long COVID. Ms. Banks has been a member of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative since 2024.You can listen to the Long Covid Theme Songs Playlist on Spotify. It's full of songs from people who have joined me on the podcast. Each song represents some aspects of that guest's long covid experience. You can find me on Instagram, TikTok, and on my Substack, called Haulin' Ass.A Friend for the Long Haul is produced by a disabled Long Covid patient.

I sat down with Kat from Space and Time to talk about what real institutional adoption actually looks like.

In this episode, Lex chats with Alex Gluchowski — Cofounder and CEO of Matter Labs, about the transformative impact of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) on blockchain scalability and privacy. They discuss Matter Labs' evolution, the development of zkSync, and how ZK proofs enable secure, private, and efficient blockchain transactions. The conversation explores enterprise adoption, regulatory shifts, and the potential for blockchain to revolutionize global finance by enabling privacy-preserving, interoperable networks anchored to Ethereum, ultimately highlighting the growing role of cryptography in advancing financial sovereignty and innovation. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: Incorruptibility is Blockchain's Core Value—Not Consensus: Consensus mechanisms solve network liveness without central operators, but the guarantee that your assets can't be spent without your permission comes from verification. Bitcoin's “don't trust, verify” mantra is literal: every node re-executes every transaction. Zero knowledge proofs achieve the same incorruptibility without requiring universal visibility—enabling both scale and privacy. The Regulatory Shift Has Unlocked an Entirely New Market: The post-Trump regulatory environment represents a “great divide” for crypto. Banks and enterprises that previously couldn't engage are now actively piloting blockchain infrastructure. Matter Labs is working with Deutsche Bank, UBS, and 35+ global financial institutions through initiatives like Presidio Breakthrough. The focus has shifted from building systems to withstand regulatory hostility to integrating crypto into real business processes. Private Enterprise Chains Settling on Ethereum is the Institutional Path: Banks experimented with consortium blockchains (Hyperledger, Corda, R3) for years but failed due to privacy concerns—participants could see each other's transactions. Zero knowledge proofs solve this by enabling private chains that interoperate trustlessly through Ethereum as a shared settlement layer. Each institution maintains sovereignty over its operations while gaining cryptographic guarantees when transacting with counterparties.

Starting 1 April, India's central bank will allow domestic banks to fund mergers and acquisitions. It's a change to long-held rules barring lenders from the Indian M&A market, which has so far been dominated by foreign lenders and private credit funds.As Indian banks prepare to lend more to domestic corporates, what does this mean for liquidity, access to funding, and for international lenders that have earned 20% yields so far?9fin's Mumbai-based reporter Rajhkumar Shaaw and Asia editor Richard Macauley answer these questions and walk listeners through the changes in this latest edition of our Cloud 9fin podcast.

How many customers can tell you the difference between two banks? The fact banks often do not clearly differentiate themselves leaves them vulnerable to competition, especially from neo-banks. Banks have opportunities to differentiate themselves through technology, optimized branches and other services. By doing so, they can also increase their revenue in a shrinking market.Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, spoke with Kaitlyn Bridgers-Petrie, strategic solutions manager at Cook Solutions Group and Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group, to discuss bank differentiation and revenue growth opportunities in today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast.Fieber said during the podcast that those of us involved in the banking world can take for granted that customers don't have much knowledge of key banking differentiators. For example, how many customers "know the difference between a credit union and a bank?" Many couldn't tell you.As a result, banks need to have "clearer differentiators that customers can clearly communicate," whether that's ITM access, convenient branch locations or great customer service.During the podcast, Fiber and Bridgers-Petrie discussed the following topics:Alternative tactics to boost deposits.Technology to increase revenue.What's your risk tolerance for branch expansions?How to reduce efficiency ratios.How to avoid vendor creep.Listen to the podcast in its entirety above.

Bitcoin is stuck around $70K as macro pressure builds and cracks begin appearing across traditional finance. Oil prices are spiking on geopolitical tensions, while major banks like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are quietly restricting withdrawals and tightening lending in private credit markets as investors rush for the exits. With liquidity tightening and financial stress rising, the key question is whether Bitcoin is simply trapped in macro chop or preparing for its next major move as the system starts to strain.

Get the Midterm Rental Insurance Blueprint: ⁠https://experimentrealestate.com/#blueprintIn this insightful episode of In The Lab, Ruben welcomes back returning guest Zeona McIntyre for a conversation on how real estate investors can evolve with the market while staying grounded in what really matters. Zeona first joined the show in Episode 215, “Normalizing the 30-Day Stay in Your Short-Term Rental Business.” Since that conversation, both the market and Zeona's investing approach have continued to evolve, making this return to the lab a timely update on where opportunities exist today.Zeona shares how her journey has progressed from short-term rental arbitrage to property ownership, mid-term rentals, and now creative financing strategies designed to help investors operate in a higher-interest-rate environment. She breaks down the concept of subject-to financing in simple terms, explains how creative deal structures can solve real problems for buyers and sellers, and highlights how investors can position themselves to acquire properties without relying solely on traditional lending.Throughout the discussion, Ruben and Zeona explore the importance of experimentation in entrepreneurship, emphasizing how investors must continually adapt their strategies as markets shift. Zeona also shares real examples of creative deals, including situations where distressed sellers were able to exit challenging financial positions while investors stepped in with new visions for the property. These stories highlight how creative financing can create multiple wins across a single transaction.The conversation expands beyond deal structures into the broader mindset required to thrive as an entrepreneur. Ruben and Zeona discuss collaboration, relationship-driven deal flow, and the shift from trying to do everything alone to building networks where multiple people benefit from a single opportunity. They also explore the growing influence of AI and why building strong cash-flowing assets may become even more important as technology reshapes industries.Toward the end of the episode, Zeona shares insights from her upcoming book, The Creative Closer, which outlines several creative financing strategies and the negotiation frameworks investors can use to structure deals in unconventional ways. She closes with a reminder that while entrepreneurs often focus on the next milestone, it's just as important to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and find small pockets of joy in everyday life.Tune in now to hear how Zeona McIntyre continues to experiment, adapt, and help investors think differently about creative financing, collaboration, and the future of real estate.KEEPING IT REAL03:20 – Investor evolution04:36 – Experimentation mindset06:38 – Sub-to deal story07:43 – Creative financing shift08:15 – STR tax strategy10:41 – Subject-to explained12:20 – Writing new book15:00 – Creative deal case21:27 – Creative deal tools24:14 – AI and real estate25:01 – Cash flow strategy31:26 – Collaboration mindset45:15 – Enjoy the momentCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://www.zeonamcintyre.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zeona-mcintyre/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeonamcintyre#CreativeFinancing #RealEstateInvesting #CashFlow #SubjectTo #Wholesaling #InvestorMindset #Entrepreneurship #MidTermRentals #InTheLab

Back in 2003, a new reality TV show hosted and co-created by Tyra Banks convinced an entire generation that they too might have what it takes to become America's next top model. Now, a new Netflix docu-series wants us to know just how badly the contestants were treated — by the show and sometimes by Banks herself. To Wesley's surprise, Tyra Banks agreed to be interviewed for the series, “Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model,” and to revisit some of the show's most cringe and painful moments. Was it a genuine attempt at accountability? And are we satisfied by what we're hearing? Wesley invites Michaela angela Davis, a writer, editor and stylist, to talk about it.
