This episode was recorded live at the recent Transforming Infrastructure Performance summit held in Toronto, Canada in October and hosted by Bentley Systems. I'm joined by Divya Shah, Managing Director of the Trade & Transportation sector at the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB), an organisation at the forefront of this mission to deliver the infrastructure Canada needs to stay competitive and resilient.Infrastructure has always been central to Canada's story — a vast country knitted together by railways, ports, roads, and power grids that enabled economic growth and connected communities. Today, the stakes are even higher. As Canada accelerates its transition to a low-carbon, resilient, and inclusive economy, infrastructure has never been more critical — or more political.The Canada Infrastructure Bank was created to act as a catalyst: unlocking private capital, supporting transformative projects, and enabling the kind of nation-building investment needed to meet 21st-century challenges. With more than $16.8 billion invested in 102 projects across the country, from clean power and green infrastructure to transit, broadband, and trade corridors, the CIB is reshaping the way Canada builds.But challenges remain. Canada faces shifting geopolitics, urgent climate targets, rising costs, and the need for stronger coordination between federal, provincial, and Indigenous partners. The question is not just how we build, but how we build faster, smarter, and more inclusively.ResourcesCanada Infrastructure BankDivya ShahTransforming Infrastructure Performance TIPLive TorontoBentley Systems websiteFor the video version of this podcast visit the Infrastructure Podcast YouTube

Nos últimos dias, a Receita Federal teve que desmentir uma fake news que ganhou força nas redes sociais. Publicações em diferentes perfis estariam afirmando que a partir de 2026, adultos que ainda moram com os pais poderiam ser notificados e cair na malha fina. O boato gerou debates no ambiente digital e despertou dúvidas sobre o Cadastro Imobiliário Brasileiro (CIB), também chamado de "CPF dos Imóveis", previsto pela Reforma Tributária. Em nota, o órgão esclareceu que é falsa a informação de que a Receita estaria usando dados do CIB para identificar pessoas que vivem em imóveis sem contrato de aluguel.Em entrevista à CBN Vitória, o auditor fiscal e delegado-geral da Receita Federal do Brasil em Vitória, Eduardo Augusto Roelke, esclarece o que muda na prática com a Reforma Tributária e quem realmente pode ser afetado.

Former QLD Detective Inspector Mal Gundry was head of the Queensland Police Criminal Investigation Bureau at Indooroopilly in Brisbane. He was integral part of the investigation into Sean Sargent, a 24-year-old Australian Army lieutenant, who disappeared in the early hours of March 20, 1999, after attending a party in St Lucia, Brisbane. Originally from Mackay, Queensland, Sargent was stationed at Enoggera Barracks and had a promising military career. His sudden disappearance prompted extensive investigations and speculation. Mal Gundry was also head of the CIB branch that led the investigation into the murder of Allison Baden Clay, that led to the arrest of her husband, Gerard Baden Clay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 232-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,346 on turnover of $9.8-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly higher Thursday as contract chipmaker TSMC moved in a narrow rage ahead of an investor conference slated to open after the trading session. Analysts say investors remained cautious before the chipmaker gave guidance for the third quarter, and it was no surprise that the Taiex fell into consolidation mode throughout the session. Attention shifted to select old economy stocks and the buying provided some support to the broader market. 5 arrested on suspicion of money laundering via virtual accounts The Criminal Investigation Bureau says it had busted a money laundering ring and arrested five people suspected of using e-commerce platforms to conceal (隱藏) the flow of illicit funds. The CIB says the raid and arrests followed an investigation of suspicious financial flows, facilitated by illegal third-party payment providers and a gambling syndicate (聯合組織). Investigators say the money laundering ring was essentially providing "real-time payment services" for a gambling syndicate involving about $30-billion NT over a one-year period. After months of surveillance and investigation, the CIB task force launched a coordinated raid of the two third-party payment companies on March 13-th and arrested five suspects. They were handed over to the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office on charges that included fraud and money laundering. Trump denies plans to fire Fed Chair Powell Donald Trump has denied he plans to fire the head of the US central bank Jerome Powell. The president has reportedly drafted a letter of termination (解僱) for the Federal Reserve chairman, but is now walking back claims he's planning to let him go. Kate Fisher reports from Washington. UN Chief Wants More Progress from Cyprus Talks The United Nations chief says he would have liked more results from his meetings with the rival leaders of divided Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot leader said Thursday that he was “very, very upset” that there was no agreement on opening four new border crossings. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the meetings “constructive” (建設性的) and pointed to progress on four of the six initiatives the leaders agreed to in March. But he cautioned that “there's a long road ahead.” The Mediterranean island was divided in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup by supporters of uniting the island with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence, and it maintains more than 35,000 troops in the island's northern third. Brazil Lower House Passes Controversial Environmental Legislation Brazil's lower house has passed a controversial bill that overhauls environmental legislation. The bill simplifies environmental licensing, allowing companies to self-declare compliance (遵守) online. Environmental experts warn this could increase pollution, deforestation, and water scarcity while threatening protected areas. Over 300 non-profits, including Greenpeace and WWF Brazil, have opposed the bill, calling it a major setback. The legislation now awaits President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's decision to either approve or veto it, fully or partially. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. ----以下訊息由 SoundOn 動態廣告贊助商提供----
When Sydney detectives confirm star Balmain rugby league player Bob Lulham has been poisoned with Thall-Rat, they begin an investigation that at first turns up few leads. A series of mysterious phone calls to the CIB keeps the police wondering until they finally make a shocking arrest.

En este episodio de Blink, María Irusta, perteneciente al departamento de regulación de CIB en BBVA, nos ayuda a entender cómo evoluciona la regulación sostenible a nivel global. Hablamos del impacto del Acuerdo de París y los ODS, de la importancia del ISSB y los estándares IFRS, y de cómo distintas regiones —como la Unión Europea, Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, América Latina y Asia-Pacífico— están respondiendo a los desafíos de armonización normativa. Desde la simplificación regulatoria en Europa hasta los recientes cambios en la política climática de EE. UU., este episodio ofrece una visión completa sobre el futuro de las finanzas sostenibles en un mundo cada vez más interconectado.
En el Radar Empresarial analizamos quién podría sustituir a Jamie Dimon como CEO de J.P Morgan. En 2028, Dimon dejará el cargo y ya hay varios candidatos para ocupar uno de los cargos con más poder y responsabilidad del mundo. La bomba se soltó el pasado 21 de mayo, en el día del Inversor de la compañía, donde Dimon dejó claro “su sucesión no iba a esperar cinco años”. Además, el que venga no solo tendrá que igualar el impacto económico que ha dejado en la empresa. Su figura también es muy relevante dentro de los círculos más importantes e influyentes de Estados Unidos. Al estilo de Warren Buffet o Ray Dalio, también se atreve a analizar la economía estadounidense. Es por eso, que el perfil que le sustituya tendrá que ser igual de “mediático” que el de Dimon. Su impacto es tal que el miedo al cambio ha provocado el fenómeno conocido como “prima Jamie”: es la pérdida de valor que se produciría en el momento en que marche Jamie Dimon. Algunos analistas apuntan a que esta pérdida podría ser superior al 10%, aunque también podría ser menos si se hace de una forma más estructurada. Por eso la búsqueda del sustituto llega 3 años antes. ¿Esta prima Jamie podría ser realidad? ¿Quién puede ser la persona que asuma tal responsabilidad? Al contrario que en Berkshire Hathaway, donde Warren Buffet si tenía claro que Greg Abel era el idóneo para sustituirla en J.P Morgan no hay nada claro. Porque sus caballos ganadores se han retirado de la carrera antes de empezarla. El favorito en las apuestas era Daniel Pinto, presidente y director de operaciones de la compañía, pero en enero anunció su retirada de J.P Morgan. De Pinto, Dimon dijo el último día de los inversores de la empresa que “había sido un socio excepcional durante todos estos años”. Otro de los nombres que más fuerza ha cobrado en los últimos años ha sido el de Jennifer Piepszak, directora de operaciones, pero también ha dejado claro que su deseo no es ocupar el cargo de CEO. Eso hace que queden solo dos candidatos a sustituir a Dimon, según la revista Fortune: Marianne Lake , directora ejecutiva de banca de consumo y comunitaria y Troy Rohrbaugh , codirector ejecutivo de banca comercial y de inversión (CIB). Lo que está claro es que el candidato parece estar en casa. El impacto económico de Jamie Dimon en J.P Morgan ha sido estratosférico desde que fue designado como CEO de la compañía en julio de 2004. Bajo su mando, la entidad se ha convertido en el mayor banco de Estados Unidos: su capitalización bursátil supera los 700.000 millones de dólares y sus beneficios superaron el año pasado los 58.000 millones. Todo esto le hizo ocupar el primer puesto en la lista Forbes Global 2000 de 2024.
