Tom Bodrovics once again engages in an interesting conversation with Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for QI Research, former Fed Insider, and author of the book "Fed Up." The conversation focuses on the ongoing recession that likely began in Q1 2024. Danielle highlights key data points, such as job losses starting in Q2 2024, which confirm the recession's onset. Despite this clarity, official channels are reluctant to acknowledge the recession due to political considerations. Danielle emphasizes the severe impact of student loan forbearance and credit constraints on US households, noting that rising defaults will further strain consumer spending. This situation is compounded by a lack of clear policies to replace past stimulus measures, leaving the economy vulnerable. Danielle shifts into the commercial real estate sector, with banks facing growing pressure to recognize losses. She critiques the Federal Reserve for ignoring critical data, such as shelter inflation and job losses, in favor of focusing on tariffs' impact on goods prices. This stance, she argues, is politically motivated and disregards the Fed's own historical lessons. Investors are advised to prioritize safety over riskier assets, given the high returns on cash and the uncertain economic outlook. Danielle concludes by urging empathy and support for communities navigating these challenging times, emphasizing the importance of looking out for one another during economic hardship.

Die ehemaligen Managerinnen und Manager der Credit Suisse erhalten ihre letzten Boni nun doch. Das hat das Bundesverwaltungsgericht entschieden. Weshalb? Und warum beschäftigt uns das Thema Boni von Bankerinnen und Bankern eigentlich schon so lange? Insgesamt über 60 Millionen Franken an Boni sollen an die CS-Angestellten noch ausgezahlt werden, wenn es nach dem Bundesverwaltungsgericht geht. Bezahlen muss diese Boni die UBS, die die Credit Suisse übernommen hat.

Die UBS muss 60 Millionen Franken an Boni an 1000 Managerinnen und Manager der zusammengebrochenen Credit Suisse auszahlen. So will es das Bundesverwaltungsgericht. Damit pfeift das Gericht das Finanzdepartement von Bundesrätin Karin Keller-Sutter zurück. Was bedeutet das für die Zukunft?

De details van de mega-deal die president Trump sloot in Saoedi-Arabië liggen op straat. Bedrijven die chips verkopen of werken met AI harken voor miljarden dollars aan opdrachten binnen. Ze werken voor (of met) de golfstaat samen.En daar zit een gevaar. Amerika probeerde de afgelopen jaren andere landen op achterstand te houden, door met exportrestricties te strooien. Het land wilde dé AI-supermacht worden. Met de deals die het nu in Saoedi-Arabië sluit, wordt dat moeilijker.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Creëert Trump op deze manier zijn eigen concurrentie op het gebied van AI? Ook hoor je welke bedrijven (naast Nvidia) miljarden gaan verdienen aan de chip-honger van de oliesjeiks.Elon Musk was mee en sloot met zijn satellietenbedrijf Starlink een deal. Nog meer goed nieuws voor hem: Tesla werkt aan een nieuwe beloningspakket, nu hij kan fluiten naar een bonus van ruim 55 miljard dollar.Kan het nog gekker? Jawel. Boeing heeft een deal van 200 miljard dollar binnen gesleept in Qatar, ook dankzij verkoper Trump.En we hebben het deze aflevering over ABN Amro. De inkomsten én winst daalden en de kosten liepen op. Toch was ABN het best presterende aandeel binnen de AEX. We kijken hoe dat komt en vertellen je over een grote verandering die de kersverde ceo doorvoert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Catherine Byaruhanga, presenter and correspondent for the BBC News Channel, speaks to Tidjane Thiam, the main opposition leader in the Ivory Coast. Mr Thiam is a former CEO of Credit Suisse, with a lengthy and successful career in the financial sector abroad. Now, he wishes to stand for the Ivory Coast presidency - but his candidacy has been blocked by an Ivorian court. It has ruled he cannot run as he was not an Ivorian citizen when he registered on the electoral roll. Tidjane Thiam says the decision is politically motivated, a claim firmly rejected by the government of the Ivory Coast. But he is defending his right to run.Despite years of civil war since the turn of the century, Ivory Coast has a high level of income compared to its neighbours. But Mr Thiam believes more can be done to attract investment and to boost business - and that he has the financial expertise and contacts to make it happen.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

The international banking giant was again fined by the US for tax fraud in a “non-prosecution” agreement, for allowing wealthy investors to hide investments by falsifying tax documents. If the fines don't stop the behavior, does the punishment work? Perp walks?

Ivory Coast's main opposition leader Tidjane Thiam has been struck off the electoral list. The judiciary has declared he is ineligible to run in October's presidential election due to his citizenship. Tidjane Thiam also held French citizenship which he renounced in order to run for the presidency. A court this week argued, that the former Credit Suisse boss forfeited his Ivorian nationality when he acquired French citizenship in 1987.

DAMION1White House blasts Amazon over tariff cost report: ‘Hostile and political act'The White House on Tuesday slammed Amazon for reportedly planning to display the cost of President Donald Trump's tariffs next to the total price of products on its site.“This is hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. “Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt asked.The Trump administration's aggressive swipe came in response to a report that Amazon will soon show consumers how much of an item's cost comes from tariffs. The amount added as a result of tariffs will be displayed right next to each product's total listed price, a person familiar with the plan told the news outlet.WHO DO YOU BLAME?CEO Andrew Jassy.He's the “boss.”Maybe he feels emasculated?Lowest overall batting average (.308)only 6% influence compared to his boss, Jeff Bezos (67%)Not paid like traditional CEOs (relying instead on his $275M in unvested equity) and the $38M that vested last year; so when he's hanging out withHis buddies like Target CEO Brian Cornell ($20M) eBay CEO Jamie Iannone ($22M) have the total summary compensation bragging rights. Not to mention the sad, unmanly CEO Pay Ratio which is listed as 43:1 for Jassy and 753:1 for the DEI-hating Cornell Jeffrey Preston Bezos (67%)I mean he's the actual boss, right?Executive Chair, founder, former CEO, superstar.Hangs out with people like Katy Perry, has a newspaper, sends penis rockets to nowhere, has pretend funds named after himself like the Bezos Earth Fund and the Bezos Day One FundBoard member and former Pepsi CEO Indra NooyiOr maybe this is a DEI problem? Amazon's Audit Committee is tasked with stuff like operational risks, and legal and regulatory matters. Indra chairs this committeeIndra is also involved with very woke-y/DEI-y:stuff like science (Trustee of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center)Stuff like math (Member of the Dean's Advisory Council at MIT's School of Engineering)Stuff like art (Trustee of the National Gallery of Art)And stuff like giving a shit about people, stakeholder-y capitalism stuff (Director of Partnership for Public Service, whose mission is to inspire a new generation of civil servants and to transform the way government works)Former President Joe BidenAmazon later clarified that the plan to show tariff surcharges was “never approved” and is “not going to happen.” Trump personally called Bezos on Tuesday morning to express his displeasure about the initial report that spurred the heated response from the White House.Trump world's Laura Loomer takes aim at a 'woke' Lockheed Martin and its $2 trillion F-35 programLaura Loomer, the far-right activist who has a direct line to President Donald Trump, criticized Lockheed Martin's F-35 program over the weekend, decrying the US defense giant as "woke" and lashing out against the expensive stealth aircraft.In a lengthy post on X, Loomer suggested Lockheed Martin is delivering F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters that "are simply not ready for combat.""The F-35 program, one of the most expensive weapons programs in history, is plagued by delays, defects, & downright incompetence," she wrote Saturday. She said the US Air Force is accepting jets that lack "functional" radar systems, without offering evidence.She also claimed that Lockheed is "increasingly obsessed with pushing a woke agenda." Like many other US defense contractors, Lockheed scrapped its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in January after Trump returned to the White House.The $2 trillion F-35 program is an appealing target for activists and officials seeking to slash government spending, and it has a well-documented list of problems. The Pentagon's top weapons tester said earlier this year that the program had problems delivering functional software and had fallen behind schedule to test upgraded mission systems.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The 2025 Proxy Statement that mentions “diversity” five times!Of course all five of those instances were in the anti-woke/anti-DEI shareholder proposal introduced by the Bahnsen Family Trust.Not sure how this even made the proxy after Lockheed's anti-DEI move in January: “As we publicly stated following the issuance of President Trump's January 2025 Executive Order on DEI, we will not have goals or incentives based on demographic representation or Affirmative Action Plans. We are actively reviewing our workforce-related policies to ensure they are, and remain, compliant and aligned with the Executive Order and all related applicable legal precedent.”The three-headed white guy leadership group (53% influence)CEO/Chair James Taiclet (25%): $24M in payLead Independent Director and Nominating Committee chair Thomas J. Falk (13%)“Independent” since 2010David Burritt (15%)Longest-tenured director (2008-)Busy beaver: two committees (Audit and Pay); CEO of US.

It would have to be Debra Reed-Klages (17%)While she has no leadership roles she does sit on the board of Caterpillar, which also removed its DEI policies. What, what?Investors. They should have been holding Lockheed accountable, right?According to MSCI data, average support since 2015 is 95%; no director has even received less than 92% since 2017Say on Pay support is routinely over 90%Starbucks union rejects company's recent offer of at least 2% annual pay raiseStarbucks union delegates involved in contract bargaining voted to reject the coffee chain's latest proposal that guaranteed annual raises of at least 2%, Workers United said. Out of the 490 baristas representing the company's more than 550 unionized U.S. stores, 81% rejected the proposal, which did not offer any changes to economic benefits such as healthcare or any immediate pay hike.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The union, for being greedy.The company pays its baristas about $19 an hour on average currently. That's $39,520 before taxes. A 2% raise would result in an increase of $790.40!InvestorsAverage director support of 96% over past 2 yearsEven 86% support for new CEO Brian Niccol's $96M, including $5M in funny munny cashAnd a devilishly perverse CEO pay ratio of 6,666 to 1.Not to mention Use of Starbucks aircraft for travel between city of primary residence and Starbucks headquarters AND up to $250,000 in personal non-commuting travel per yearWhich brings us to the CEO, Brian Niccol, a guy so wonderful that they scrapped the independent chair nonsense and gave him both titles: CEO and ChairLead Independent Director and Nominating Committee chair Jørgen Vig KnudstorpAveraged over 10% votes against over the past 3 AGMs: which is essentially an investor revolutionHis favorite drink–the Caramel Macchiato–is 250 calories with 33g of sugar: the American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 25 grams per dayMATT1Novavax appoints Charles Newton to board of directorsChuck Newton has a background from BofA Merrill, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman as an investment banker, and is now CFO at a pharma company.

Drawing from our recent UK HR Trends Report, which revealed a shift in DEI's priority amongst organisations, Stuart Elliott asks: why is this happening—and what does it mean for the future?Nikki shares insights from her 30-year career in coaching and consulting, and how organisations are facing a "day of reckoning"—separating those truly committed to DEI from those who have simply followed trends. We dive into the global trends, the importance of psychological safety, and why sustainable, authentic inclusion efforts—not reactionary ones—will define successful businesses moving forward.We also explore how factors like the US election, demographic shifts, and the rise of AI are impacting DEI conversations, and why resilience and leadership authenticity are more crucial than ever. Nikki offers advice for HR leaders on how to keep DEI embedded within business strategy and how small, consistent actions can lead to real, lasting progress.Who is our guest? Nikki Davies is a former HR executive with MNCs including Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and Prudential plc. She is now the founder of coNEXTion, her consulting and ICF ACC accredited coaching business, serving clients from start-ups to global organisations and is also the Senior Consultant for Pixel Alchemy Collective. A recognised global DEIB strategist, Nikki has over 20 years' experience crafting strategies to drive inclusion, equity, and belonging. She supports executives as a coach and advises organisations on adapting global initiatives to local markets, always aligning DEIB outcomes with strategic business goals.Nikki's approach uses human-centred design to identify systemic challenges and create action-based plans with measurable results, helping leaders build thriving, inclusive organisations.

Nach der Wahl von Donald Trump haben SVP-Vertreter betont, mit der neuen US-Regierung böten sich Chancen für die Schweiz. Mit den angekündigten Zöllen zerschlagen sich diese Hoffnungen zumindest im Handelsbereich und es stellen sich kritische Fragen an den Fraktionschef der SVP, Thomas Aeschi. Er erwarte keine fundamental andere Aussenpolitik der USA, hat der Fraktionschef der SVP, Thomas Aeschi kurz nach der Wahl Donald Trumps zum US-Präsidenten gesagt. Schon nach wenigen Tagen Trump-Präsidentschaft wurde die Welt eines Besseren bzw. Anderen belehrt. Mit der Ankündigung von historisch hohen Zöllen hat die US-Politik nun auch gravierende Auswirkungen auf die Schweiz, voraussichtlich. Warum hat sich der SVP-Fraktionschef, der die USA selbst gut kennt, so geirrt? Wie soll die Schweiz nun reagieren? Und, müsste die SVP nun nicht Hand bieten für eine Sicherung der Beziehungen zur EU mit neuen bilateralen Verträgen? Die SVP und ihr Fraktionschef haben auch nach der Übernahme der Credit Suisse durch die UBS vor zwei Jahren klar Stellung bezogen und lautstark harte Massnahmen gefordert, um zu verhindern, dass je wieder eine Schweizer Grossbank von den Steuerzahlerinnen und -zahlern gerettet werden muss. Nun geht's im Parlament um die Bankenregulierung und die SVP hat ihre eigenen Anträge zurückgezogen. Reicht das, was der Bundesrat vor hat, tatsächlich wie die SVP betont, oder ist die Partei dem Lobbying der Banken erlegen? Und schliesslich hat eine bürgerliche Mehrheit in der Wirtschaftskommission des Nationalrats diese Woche unter dem Präsidium von Thomas Aeschi einen Vorstoss gutgeheissen, der verlangt, dass kantonale Mindestlöhne übersteuert werden von nationalen Gesamtarbeitsverträgen. Wie rechtfertigt die SVP das, was andere einen Angriff auf den Föderalismus nennen? SVP-Fraktionschef Thomas Aeschi nimmt Stellung in der «Samstagsrundschau» bei Klaus Ammann. Ergänzend zum «Tagesgespräch» finden Sie jeden Samstag in unserem Kanal die aktuelle «Samstagsrundschau».

Zwei Jahre sind seit dem Zusammenbruch der CS und deren Übernahme durch die UBS vergangen. Wie kann eine Bankenkrise künftig verhindert werden? In der «Arena» diskutieren Mitglieder des Parlaments mit einem Geschäftsleitungsmitglied der UBS über Regulierung, Boni und die Finanzmarktaufsicht. Am Sonntagabend, dem 19. März 2023, wurde Geschichte geschrieben: Der Bundesrat verkündete die Übernahme der Credit Suisse durch die UBS. Nach dem Niedergang der Grossbank wurden rasch Forderungen nach einer strengeren Regulierung für systemrelevante Banken laut. Unterdessen haben sowohl der Bundesrat als auch die Parlamentarische Untersuchungskommission Massnahmen vorgeschlagen, um die Risiken einer erneuten Bankenkrise zu reduzieren. Die Vorschläge sind nicht nur in der Politik heftig umstritten, sondern beschäftigen auch die Banken, allen voran die UBS. Welche Lehren muss die Politik aus der CS-Krise ziehen? Welche Auswirkungen hätten härtere Vorschriften beim Eigenkapital? Braucht es einen Lohndeckel für Top-Banker? Und welche Anpassungen sind bei der Finanzmarktaufsicht nötig? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Mario Grossniklaus am 28. März 2025 in der «Arena»: – Markus Ronner, Mitglied Geschäftsleitung UBS; – Cédric Wermuth, Co-Präsident SP; – Thomas Matter, Vizepräsident SVP; und – Franziska Ryser, Nationalrätin Grüne. Ausserdem im Studio: – Andi Lüscher, Wirtschaftsredaktor SRF

Het kan gek lopen, zo bewijst Elon Musk. Leiding geven aan Tesla, daarna bezuinigen bij de Amerikaanse overheid en nu opeens een oorlog bekokstoven. Niet de kleinste ook nog, want het gaat over een tussen Amerika en China. Musk mocht als belangrijke adviseur van president Trump bij een briefing daarover zijn. Opvallend, want normaal gesproken zijn die briefings uiterst geheim. Nóg opvallender is het omdat Musk met zowel Tesla als SpaceX nogal actief is in China. Of we ons zorgen moeten maken over de invloed van Musk op een mogelijke oorlog, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En daarin blikken we ook vooruit op ons pensioen. Als beursbedrijven trendsetters zijn, dan gaan wij over 30 jaar BNR uit de problemen redden. Steeds meer hebben een pensionado aan het roer. Dat gebeurt ook bij Nike. Daar werd gerekend op een dramatische terugval van de omzet in het eerste kwartaal. Maar de schade blijkt beperkt. Het gaat ook over een andere trend: kleine beleggers die het opnemen tegen grote hedgefondsen. En nee we hebben het niet over het Reddit-leger, maar over Europese beleggers die springen op defensie-aandelen. En we kijken terug op de beursweek. Een waarin Google z'n grootste overname ooit deed, Nvidia-topman Jensen Huang urenlang voor niks op een podium stond en Fed-baas Jerome Powell zich niks aantrok van Trumps handelsoorlog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Am 19. März 2023 tritt Bundesrätin Karin Keller-Sutter vor die Medien und verkündet das Aus der Credit Suisse. Es gab nur noch eine Rettung für die kriselnde Grossbank: Den Zusammenschluss mit ihrer ewigen Konkurrentin, der UBS.Für viele war das Ende der Credit Suisse einen Schock. Doch hatte sich der Untergang nicht schon viel länger angekündigt? Seit den 1970er-Jahren schlitterte die Grossbank von einem Skandal in den nächsten. Hätte nicht viel früher schon interveniert werden müssen? Warum wurden Warnsignale nicht ernst genommen?Diese Fragen beantwortet ein neues Buch und ein neuer Kino-Dokumentarfilm von Arthur Rutishauser, Chefredaktor der Sonntags-Zeitung von Tamedia. In «Game over – Der Fall der Credit Suisse» geht es um Arroganz, Machthunger und Grössenwahn. In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» erzählt Rutishauser von dieser Recherche.Host: Mirja GabathulerProduzenten: Laura Bachmann und Tobias HolzerMehr zum Thema:Die Credit Suisse hätte nicht untergehen müssenDie grosse Gier führte zum Untergang der Credit Suisse Unser Tagi-Spezialangebot für Podcast-Hörer:innen: tagiabo.chHabt ihr Feedback, Ideen oder Kritik zu «Apropos»?

Die Credit Suisse wurde am 19. März 2023 von der UBS übernommen. Auch zwei Jahre später sitzt der Schock noch tief. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? Und: Was für einen Finanzplatz will die Schweiz mit nur noch einer Grossbank? Im Gegensatz zur UBS überstand die Credit Suisse die Finanzkrise ohne staatliche Unterstützung. Doch dann sanken ihre Erträge, mit ihrer viel zu grossen Investmentbank geriet die CS ins Hintertreffen. Führungs- und Strategiewechsel brachten die Bank nicht zur Ruhe, Skandale häuften sich, Verluste waren schmerzhaft. Im Film blicken ehemalige Führungskräfte auf die turbulenten Jahre zurück. Wie kam es so weit, dass am 19. März 2023 die Spitzen von Nationalbank, Finma und Bundesrat die Übernahme der CS durch die UBS verkündeten? Warum wählten sie diesen Weg, von dem heute viele sagen, dass er der UBS ein Schnäppchen ermöglichte? Und: Wie geht es weiter in der Schweiz mit nur einer Grossbank – was bedeutet es für die Steuerzahlerinnen und Steuerzahler, wenn die neue UBS ins Straucheln gerät? Die Geschichte der Credit Suisse ist noch nicht fertig erzählt.

Damit die Grossbank UBS nicht endet wie die Credit Suisse, fordert die Parlamentarische Untersuchungskommission, die das Ende der CS untersucht hat, eine ganze Reihe von Massnahmen. Der Ständerat unterstützt dies, warnt aber davor, den Bankenplatz zu stark zu regulieren.

Drawing on his background at Credit Suisse, WeWork, and McKinsey, Phil shares insights about professional and personal responses to workplace changes. He discusses leaders' and employees' intuitions and the frictions affecting trust. Phil explains the cultural impact of co-working environments and how a hospitality mindset helps achieve strategic human-centric productized work experiences to meet employees' modern work needs.   TAKEAWAYS   [01:57] Phil shares his experiences in corporate real estate, workplace strategy, and employee experience. [02:45] Cost management taught Phil the importance of understanding workplace dynamics. [04:20] Phil loves the dimensions of workplace change recognizing people's emotional responses. [05:41] How work-life integration can mean the physical manifestation of a policy in the work world. [06:38] Place is personal, affecting choices, relationships and how people communicate. [07:44] How office changes impact managers' perceived control over their teams. [08:45] Executives visiting WeWork's offices were often surprised by the energy and vibrancy. [10:12] Employees embracing the WeWork hospitality, community culture, and work patterns typically had better experiences than those who resisted. [14:00] How smaller companies smaller office investments allows them to be more responsive than large organizations which often struggle with underutilized space. [15:15] COVID revealed more humanity at work—executives were seen differently and trusted. [16:22] The Edelman Trust Barometer shows the first ever dip in trust in corporate leadership. [16:50] Employees' and executives' different intuition about what was ‘better before' and for whom. [18:22] Discrepancies in pre-COVID experiences change expectations for new work environments. [19:22] Phil shares how a real estate company failed to extend workplace flexibility to frontline staff. [22:00] A critical missing question: what needs to be true to allow greater flexibility and not have core metrics dip? [24:40] Remote work enables business continuity and offer an operational risk mitigation framework. [25:00] Digital-first companies have better organizational health by adapting for being distributed. [25:45] Experiencing inefficient processes to develop metrics and optimize operations.

[34:31] Companies with “virtual-first, but not placeless” mindset rethink workplace strategy effectively. [35:53] Many executives assume office presence is essential without analyzing why. [39:10] Organizational health and connecting business objectives and work experience. [40:30] How corporate cultures can connect and align employees with purpose enabling change. [43:06] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: The first questions to ask at the start of any good change program: who thinks something is wrong? What do they think is wrong? And who else knows?     RESOURCES   Phil Kirschner on LinkedIn Phil Kirschner, Contributor – Leadership Strategy, Forbes     QUOTES "Many employees are feeling gaslit when they hear leaders say, ‘It was better before,' because that doesn't resonate with them." "Trust in organizations dipped for the first time in Edelman's latest trust barometer report." “When I walk into the building, if the experience of getting in or registering a visitor or attending event is, is not a great one, at that point, I do not know or care whose problem it is. I want one place to go easily and I want a hospitality feeling in the response to that, which is really difficult for groups that are viewed as an expense.” “The companies that say place isn't the thing, then tend to come back around with much more interesting and studied uses and new designs of place, whether that's somebody's house, whether that's a coworking space, whether that's an “office” that they retain for gathering purposes, right? These are the same companies that tend to staff up on workplace experience. They staff up on customer success for tools, they staff up for gathering.”

Meltdown: Scandal, Sleaze and the Collapse of Credit Suisse (Pegasus Books, 2024) is a great business history book. It meticulously chronicles the story of a large and once revered Swiss Bank, Credit Suisse, from its foundation in 1856 until how a series of scandals, driven by a culture of greed and entitlement among its bankers, led to the bank´s ultimate collapses in March 2023. The narrative also explores the bank's international expansion, particularly its partnership with First Boston in the United States. Meltdown is not just a history of Credit Suisse but a broader investigation into the systemic issues of greed, lies, and ambition that plague the financial industry. It raises critical questions about the future of big banks in a world where transparency and accountability are increasingly demanded. Learn more about your ad choices.
