CARL STARTED WITH LITTLE AND ACHIEVED MUCH

Det danske realkreditmarked er robust, og selv i tider med international markedsuro er det muligt at handle danske realkreditobligationer.  Men omsætningen og priserne er enkelte gange blevet påvirket af renteudsving, og realkreditmarkedet er samtidigt karakteriseret ved, at det består af få store aktører, som potentielt kan påvirke markedet betydeligt gennem større frasalg.  De risici har Lizette Eistrup Jensen, Magnus Stenfeldt Madsen, Kristian Nørgaard Bentsen og Erik Grenestam analyseret i en netop udgivet analyse den 21 november, og i denne podcast taler vi om analysens hovedpunkter.

Geoøkonomi fragmentering: Politiseret verdenshandel finder nye vejeVerdenshandlen har fundert nye veje de seneste år. Allerede inden corona-pandemien og Ruslands invasion af Ukraine var globaliseringen begyndt at tabe fart, og  i de senere år har den stigende politiske polarisering i verden og problemer med forsyningskæder fået – og tvunget - virksomhederne til at finde nye veje. Mange tør ikke længere lægge deres produktion for langt væk, andre skal forholde sig til handelshindringer eller sanktioner mod lande. Det har ikke fået verden til at holde op med at handle, men handlen har fundet nye veje.I den seneste udgave af Nationalbankens podcast om økonomi er Amy Yan Zhuang og Victoria Havsteen Branner i studiet, der sammen med deres kollegaer fra banken, Oliver Hammershøj Bentsen og Madeleine Sophia van Deurs i sidtste uge publicerede en analyse, der netop giver et overblik over konsekvenserne af geoøkonomisk fragmentering.Alene siden 2019 er mængde af handelshindringer i den globale handel blevet tredoblet og potentielt kan fortsat tilbagerulning af verdenshandlen få voldsomme konsekvenser, har forfatterne estimeret. Imidlertid peger pilen aktuelt på, at virksomhederne snarere finder nye handelsveje end at de holder op med at handle.

"Jeg græd i skolen, jeg græd da jeg kom hjem, jeg græd om aftenen. Men jeg græd kun for mig selv. Jeg lagde et håndklæde under min dør, så jeg kunne nå at tørre mine tårer væk og så ingen ville opdage, at jeg var ked af det" Influencer Melissa Bentsen er vokset op med en søster med flere forskellige diagnoser, og det betyder, at hun hele sin barn- og ungdom har holdt sine egne følelser for sig selv, så hendes forældre ikke også skulle bekymre sig om hende. I mange år var hver aften kæmpe kaos i den lille familie, men Melissa formåede at holde det skjult for omverdenen bag sit store karakteristiske smil.  Hør Melissa fortælle om, hvordan hun stadig holder de svære følelser for sig selv, fordi hun ikke vil belemre andre mennesker, hvordan der bor et mindreværd indeni hende, som forstærkes når hun ikke får den opmærksomhed og kærlighed igen, som hun giver andre, og om det stærke og særlige bånd der er mellem de to søstre på trods diagnoser og barndomstraumer.  Vært: Josefine Stork  Medvirkende: Melissa Bentsen  Musik: Joshua Lindemann

The SEC is not only putting out twice the amount of rules and updates as the previous two White House Administrations, they've shortened the time allowed to review them.  Ken Bentsen, President and CEO of SIFMA, says rushing through multiple proposals simultaneously, without understanding their effect on each other, increases the possibility of bad outcomes. Bentsen wants the SEC to focus more on security to prevent data breaches which can harm individuals and slow down their 'fast and furious' rule making.

From COP26 to the boom in ESG investment funds, sustainable finance has been a hot topic in 2021. Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., president and CEO of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and CEO of the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA), joins the show to discuss the crucial role capital markets will continue to play in efforts to decarbonize the global economy. On the heels of GFMA's 2nd Annual Global Capital Markets Sustainable Finance Conference earlier this week, Bentsen outlines the regulatory landscape for sustainable finance and explains how voluntary and compliance carbon markets are a key part of the energy transition. Bentsen also notes how securitization could boost the build out of more renewable energy projects.
