CQ 271 - Is your "CIB" good enough? by Johnny & Tyler
CIB takes a slight detour before getting into the news of the week with a discussion that centers around the question: can too much communication actually be bad? That plus Strassmann on the Gulf and 70s kids movies full of bad words. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here.

Trees have been cut down, parking barriers installed, and plans are underway for construction to begin in June on the expansion of the convention center in downtown Bloomington.Even the name has changed, from the Monroe Convention Center to the Bloomington Convention Center.It's taken almost a decade to get the expansion project to this point. The plan includes a 61,000-square foot building across College Avenue from the current convention center, along with renovations to the current building.That includes a full-service kitchen that could serve close to 2,000 people, a bus pull-off with Third Street corridor alignment, a loading dock ramp, relocation of utilities, and a climate-friendly green roof.The two buildings will be connected by a skybridge over College Avenue.One sticking point in the project is with the planned hotel on site. Dora Hospitality has been approved to build the new hotel, but it's still in discussions with the city and county on exactly where the hotel will be built. That could delay the opening of the hotel until after the convention center is operational.Some are concerned about having enough parking in the immediate area, but CIB president John Whikehart doesn't think that will be a problem with the lots already owned and the nearby Fourth Street Garage.On this week's Noon Edition, we'll discuss where the Bloomington Convention Center expansion project stands, the economic impact for the county and more.Join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348.

Due puntate radiofoniche per raccontare l'esperienza di progetti innovativi che coinvolgono giovani, famiglie e comunità educanti a Roma e Cagliari, tra empowerment, coprogettazione e nuove forme di apprendimento. Il 28 febbraio 2025, a Cagliari, si è tenuta la registrazione del primo podcast di una serie dedicata alle azioni dei progetti per l'attivazione della comunità educante. L'iniziativa, frutto di un intenso brainstorming e di una meticolosa definizione degli obiettivi, si propone di dare voce alle esperienze di tre progetti pilota: INNESTI, ACCRESCE e Scuola Diffusa. L'obiettivo principale è quello di illustrare come questi progetti, operanti in contesti diversi come Tor Pignattara a Roma e il quartiere Marina di Cagliari, rispondano a bisogni specifici della comunità, utilizzando metodologie innovative di coprogettazione e empowerment. La musica di sottofondo, curata dall'Università di Cagliari (UniCa), contribuirà a creare un'atmosfera suggestiva e a rendere l'ascolto ancora più piacevole, per garantire un'esperienza di ascolto agile e fruibile. Il progetto, realizzato in collaborazione con il CIB, prevede un'attenta fase di follow-up, con la definizione degli stakeholders da intervistare e la pianificazione dettagliata delle registrazioni. Ascolta il podcast su [link al podcast]. Progetti pilota: un'analisi approfondita Il primo podcast, rivolto agli adulti della comunità educante, si concentra sulle esperienze di INNESTI, ACCRESCE e Scuola Diffusa. INNESTI, ad esempio, opera a Roma, nel quartiere di Tor Pignattara, con l'obiettivo di rafforzare la comunità attorno alla scuola Pisacane. Il progetto ha portato alla rigenerazione dell'ex casa del custode, trasformata nella "Casa Khan", un centro nevralgico per le attività di ascolto e coprogettazione. ACCRESCE, invece, si concentra sul quartiere Marina di Cagliari, rispondendo a segnali di crisi educativa attraverso la creazione di una rete tra famiglie, educatori, docenti e cittadini. Il progetto prevede percorsi di formazione e sensibilizzazione, mirati a rafforzare la comunità educante e a creare un presidio territoriale stabile. Scuola Diffusa, attiva nei quartieri San Paolo e Tor Marancia a Roma, promuove percorsi di apprendimento fuori dalla scuola, coinvolgendo attivamente i ragazzi nella creazione di un Patto Educativo e di spazi di comunità come lo Spazio Oltreterra. Ogni progetto presenta punti di forza e criticità, che vengono analizzati nel podcast per offrire una panoramica completa e realistica delle sfide e dei successi incontrati. Le metodologie utilizzate, dalle tecniche di ascolto attivo al coinvolgimento interculturale, vengono descritte nel dettaglio, offrendo spunti di riflessione e ispirazione per altre iniziative simili. Dare voce ai giovani: il secondo podcast Il secondo podcast, previsto per un pubblico più giovane, si concentra sulle esperienze dirette dei ragazzi coinvolti nei progetti. Registrato a Roma il 22 gennaio 2025, questo focus group ha permesso di definire la struttura del secondo episodio, che prevede interviste a giovani e educatori, musica e storytelling per coinvolgere il pubblico. L'obiettivo è quello di dare voce ai giovani, stimolare la loro partecipazione alla comunità educante e raccontare le esperienze vissute nei progetti. Le domande guida, preparate in anticipo, mirano a esplorare diversi aspetti dell'esperienza, dalla percezione della comunità educante all'impatto del progetto sulla vita dei ragazzi, fino alle proposte di miglioramento.

CIB mostly aimlessly meanders through the news of the week in this episode, with thoughts on the ongoing fallout from the leaked Signal group chat, Trump's executive orders to defund public and state-sponsored media, and plenty of other headlines. Also, though this doesn't come up in our discussion of The White Lotus—if we're right in suggesting that the audience's appetite is what drives content on various news media platforms, what does The White Lotus's various weird incest plotlines say about that audience's appetite? Yeesh. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?

It's another week of lawless anti-American nonsense from the Trump administration, couched ever more frequently in appeals to the underlying popularity of the things Trump is aiming to do. This is a democracy, after all, so why should something like the pesky law get in the way of the apparent will of the people? CIB goes full MAGA?! Listen, if you must!

The CBE's MPC is scheduled to meet on Thursday, 26 December. We expect the CBE to prefer to hold rates unchanged in its upcoming meeting. Even though the annual inflation reading dipped below 26% in November, some price hikes such as the recent telecom hikes are still passing through inflation readings. Besides, the recent gradual increase in USD rate – breaching the EGP50 border – accompanied by unfavorable geopolitics add another reason for the CBE to show some patience before easing, which looks more probable in 1Q2025.Foreign and Arab investors are looking to shift EGP bns from short-term t-bills into Egypt's three-year t-bonds, capitalizing on a sharp rise in yields.The Mostakbal Misr Agency for Sustainable Development, the new agency in charge of importing commodities, is currently holding talks with major Russian wheat exporters. A move that could help reduce the transaction costs of paying for grains.The European Investment Bank issued EGP1 billion bonds in 3 tranches. The National Printing Company (NAPR) will make its EGX debut in 2H 2025.Egyptians living abroad can now purchase up to two premium housing units using FX through a new government initiative.The Industry Ministry is currently studying plans to establish a ready-built industrial complex of 450 factories in South Port Said Industrial Zone's extension.Egypt plans to sign separate agreements with Bahrain and the UAE in 1Q 2025 to reduce customs clearance times to a few hours.We upgraded our FV for ALCN to EGP32.50/share, with an Overweight recommendation to factor in the latest market developments. The updated FV reflects:Weak local currency which positively impacts the company's USD-denominated revenues.New contracts signed by the company that will enable ALCN will be able to increase the volumes of containers handled from 800 to 1,000 TEUs per month.Stable gross profitability on the back of USD-denominated revenues and EGP-denominated COGS. We expect ALCN's revenue to grow by a 5yr CAGR of 21% throughout our forecast period to reach EGP19.5 billion in FY28/29.We expect net profit to grow by a 5yr CAGR of 20% throughout our forecast period to reach EGP14.6 billion in FY28/29.We expect ALCN to continue being a dividend play with a payout ratio maintained at 85% throughout our forecast horizon.ALCN is currently trading at FY24/25f P/E of 9.3x and EV/EBITDA of 8.3x.CCAP announced that, as of December 20, 2024, its subsidiary, ERC has successfully finalized its Senior and Subordinated debt Restructuring. Following the completion of this restructuring the net senior debt now stands at USD363 million, down from an initial amount of USD2.35 billion, which is expected to be fully repaid by December 2025. The subordinated debt currently stands at USD751 million, with an expected repayment completion by 2030. This progress in debt reduction positions ERC to begin distributing dividends to shareholders, with the first anticipated dividend payout expected in 2026.COMI has announced that there would be a 2% fee when topping up the e-wallet with money from CIB cards. The Health Ministry launched the National One Health Plan (2024-27) and a health climate adaptation framework (2024-30), targeting shared health risks from zoonotic diseases, food and water safety, and climate-related challenges.Weekly Commodities Update

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]I wouldn't say I'm surprised that retired General Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is consistently being attacked online by clowns who claim he never served in combat.It's part of a long pattern of rightwing extremists shamelessly undermining the military service of veterans who disagree with them, reaching its apex in Donald Trump, who has made it fashionable among his supporters to denigrate the service of his critics and, well, veterans generally.No, it's not surprising, but I would say I'm certainly disgusted and more than that: perplexed by the shamelessness and ignorance of these hypocrites.Five days ago, a disinformation account on Twitter that's popular among the MAGA masses posted this image about Gen. Milley, which, as of this morning, had been viewed more than 5.5 million times on the site:It's perfectly primed to condone and enable outrage among Trumpers. In one fell swoop, it implies Gen. Milley is cowardly, hypocritical, elitist, attention-seeking, and undeserving, creating a permission structure to dismiss his service record as unearned and his expertise as false and unworthy.But per usual, the lack of curiosity and introspection among Trump supporters offers yet another example of their inexplicable tendency to ignore evidence staring them right in the face — or simply pretend it's not there.Military dress uniforms are a walking resumé. If you spend no more than a minute glancing at one (and know what you're looking at), you can typically sketch out a fairly accurate career bio of the service member.Since the creator of this disinformation account clearly didn't serve and, well, I did, I'll explain a few things about Gen. Milley's uniform they obviously don't understand.See that blue thing above his ribbons?That's the Combat Infantryman Badge. It's awarded to Army soldiers in the Infantry or Special Forces in the rank of colonel or below who have engaged in direct combat.You don't earn that by being a senior officer in the rear. There are plenty of senior officers who deployed and never earned a CIB, including general officers.If you look really close, his badge has a star at the top, which means it's his second CIB. You only get to earn one per war. He engaged in direct combat in both Panama (1989) and the Global War on Terrorism, and thus, he earned that rare star.Interestingly, as a side note, there have been at least 325 recipients of the extremely rare third award of the CIB, all of whom engaged in direct combat in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. It is highly unlikely we'll ever see another three-time CIB. For those interested, it looks like this:Anyway, going back to Gen. Milley, if you look closely at his ribbon rack—and I'll grant you, that photo of him above is a bit grainy—you'll notice he's earned, among his many decorations, three Legions of Merit and four Bronze Stars.On his left shoulder are the Special Forces tab and the Ranger tab, meaning he's both a former Green Beret and Ranger-qualified.There are some other cool things: both the Master Parachutist Badge and Special Operations Diver Badge, the latter of which is a very hard course.It's not readily visible in that image, but on the bottom-right side of his torso is the 101st Airborne Division Combat Service Identification Badge, which means he's completed a combat deployment with the 101st Airborne Division.But all of that pales in comparison to what you can't see in this photo: on his right sleeve, a quarter inch above the sleeve braid, are 10 overseas service bars. I found a different photo in which these are visible, circled in red:Each one of those bars represents six months of completed service while deployed in a theater of war.Gen. Milley spent five years of his career serving in combat zones: Panama, Bosnia, Haiti, Iraq, and Afghanistan.I imagine it must make a lot of these Trump supporters feel pretty damn insecure that a leader who has committed his entire adult life to service in uniform thinks their orange daddy is a coward who avoided military service, but that's not a good enough reason to lie about Gen. Milley's service record.This man is a patriot who has spent his lifetime honorably serving our country, and there's no excuse for tolerating such slander.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

CIB is back atop your podcast feed with a bit of yapping about the news of the week and then more than an hour of trying to explain how a dead author's muse and an interview with the stars of the hit movie musical Wicked and a novel about a depressive incel Lyft driver are all evidence of the same thing—that we should all probably take our magical pocket supercomputers and smash them against the nearest brick wall.

Banco Santander, in releasing their earnings report for the first quarter of 2024, provided a noteworthy update for investors and stakeholders. During the earnings call, CEO Hector Blas Grisi Checa set the tone of the dialogue with a candid acknowledgement.The first quarter of 2024 saw Banco Santander post an 11% profit increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This growth reportedly roots from the bank's strategic transformation plan, which has been said to enhance efficiency and profitability.As stated during the earnings call, this growth has been distributed across varied business sectors, including retail, consumer, Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), wealth management, insurance, and payment sectors. The bank attributed a key role of these achievements to transformations within the retail and consumer sectors, emphasizing customer experience enhancements and implementation of a shared operating model as the major contributors. Additionally, the bank has signaled their strong interest in strengthening their CIB business and expanding the horizon of their wealth management, insurance, and payment services.According to the information the bank shared on the call, Banco Santander added 5 million new customers within the past year, which has led to appreciable increases in their retail business revenue. Reinforcing these gains are a strong performance in net interest income and fees and increased volumes in the consumer sector across Europe and Brazil. The bank also highlighted the introduction of digital innovation such as the Santander Key feature, which has been reportedly well-received by customers.Regarding the financial outlook, CEO Hector Blas Grisi Checa drew attention to the challenges in forecasting, stating, "Insufficient numbers and growth rates in the P&L to really estimate what we believe is our most likely figure for net income and cost." This represents the complexities of forecasting financial outcomes given ever-changing market conditions.Banco Santander expressed intent to continue on its transformational path during the call, focusing on both product and service innovation, customer experience enhancement, and leveraging global platforms to stimulate efficiency and growth. The bank's ongoing focus will be on strengthening their CIB, wealth management, private banking, and payment capabilities, aiming to drive profitability growth and enhance customer income across all business segments.In conclusion, based on information shared on their earnings call, Banco Santander's financial standing appears solid, supported by developments and enhancements in numerous business areas. The bank's commitment to innovation, improved customer experience, and strategic expansion implies a foundation for continued progress. However, inherent uncertainties, especially in projecting exact financial figures, should be taken into consideration in formulating future expectations of the bank's performance.

If you've ever said "Games are getting too expensive" are you talking about games you care about that matter, random hyped expensive trash, or the cost of trying to own literally every video game? The best games to collect are more affordable than virtually any other hobby, especially if your goal isn't to buy EVERYTHING. You'll never own a Babe Ruth rookie card, Action Comics 1, or 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, but even the most expensive million dollar games ever sold you can own the exact same thing for a couple hundred bucks CIB.

What would you have done differently if you had anticipated the likelihood of a global pandemic or the explosion of generative AI? In BCG's newest podcast Imagine This..., BCG's editor in chief Paul Michelman, and his AI co-host GENE delve into disruptive scenarios that could define the coming decades. BCG experts join the conversation, probing the possibilities and implications for leaders. Human and machine work together to explore the very real actions CEOs could take today to prepare. By 2030, the best CIO might be a CIB: a chief intelligence bot. And the human CEO might be bolstered by a swarm of CEO bots, able to harness a vast diversity of perspectives. Can you imagine?
