Emerging market governments are implementing extraordinary measures to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices, as the war-induced oil shock stirs stagflation pressures and pushes most asset classes lower. Gustavo Medeiros, head of EM research at Ashmore Group, joins Damian Sassower, Bloomberg Intelligence's chief EM fixed income strategist on this episode of the EM Lens podcast to assess underlying risks and potential opportunities should the war in Iran endure. Medeiros and Sassower focus on structural factors such as terms of trade and energy price pass-through when discussing the medium-term impact on EM growth and inflation expectations.

3 - Wagga initiative, pioneers untapped opportunity for local economies by Australian Citizens Party

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Brent briefly jumped back above $100 a barrel after the Iran war led to more shipping turmoil in the Middle East and China tightened fuel export curbs to cope with the fallout from the conflict. The global oil benchmark surged as much as 10% to $101.59 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate rose to near $96, before paring gains. Two tankers were struck in Iraqi waters and Oman temporarily cleared ships from its key export terminal outside of the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring the widening threats to energy supply and overshadowing a record reserves release by the IEA to try and cool prices. In further signs of strain, Chinese refiners have begun canceling agreed refined fuel export cargoes, including gasoline and diesel. The country’s top processors were told last week to stop signing new contracts, and the latest directive is a step up from the earlier guidance.2) Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. have told staffers in Dubai to stay away from their offices as Iran’s attacks on Gulf cities continue. Goldman has instructed employees to seek permission before going into its offices across the Middle East, according to people familiar with the matter. Standard Chartered Plc also asked staff in the Dubai International Financial Centre and nearby areas to leave their offices on Wednesday, the people said, declining to be identified discussing confidential information. Several Wall Street banks have already been allowing employees in the United Arab Emirates to work remotely since the war began. Some lenders have also offered staff the option to temporarily leave the country, Bloomberg News has reported.3) President Trump’s administration started the first of several sweeping trade investigations that set the stage for new tariffs, the centerpiece of a push to replace levies struck down by the US Supreme Court. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced Wednesday that his office would begin a probe into more than a dozen major economies under Section 301 of the Trade Act focused on alleged excess manufacturing capacity. The investigations, which typically take months to complete, are required for the president to unilaterally place duties on imports from specific countries deemed to employ unfair trading practices. Economies that will be subject to the inquiry include some of the US’s largest trading partners: China, the European Union, Mexico, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the sixty-third episode in the Crypto Hipster's Curtain Calls Series, which includes 3–4-minute clips from Seasons 6-8. This compilation draws upon my conversations with:Karel Kubat, founder @ Union (6/22/2024, Season 7)Nathan Kim, Marketing Director @ UNOPND and Rachel Kim, Senior Manager of Events and Partnerships @ shardLab (2/13/2024, Season 6)Chris Liquin, CEO @ Cupcake (5/25/2024, Season 7) Billy Luedtke, founder and CEO @ Intuition (6/14/2024, Season 7)

As war in the Middle East rages on, the world's superpowers are making diplomatic representations to end it, and contingencies to protect their economies from the knock-on effects, namely oil and natural gas prices.China, which buys oil from Iran, would rather the conflict hadn't begun and would like to see it concluded, according to Irish Times Beijing correspondent Denis Staunton. However its reliance on foreign oil is small in comparison to other nations.On today's podcast Hugh is joined by Denis and Political Editor Pat Leahy who says European governments, including Ireland, have a much greater problem with the volatility of the energy markets.The Irish government was one of the few incumbent European governments that was re-elected after the volatility brought on by the war in Ukraine. How will European politicians handle the Iran war challenge?Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

"We don't know when this war is going to end, but already we are seeing a great degree of uncertainty return to travel and tourism in South East Asia." One week after the US and Israel began attacking Iran and Lebanon, what are the short-term outcomes for travel in the region - and what are the risks waiting up ahead? This week, Gary is in Seoul and he asks some of the structural questions the travel industry will be thinking about as a major economic shock looms. Is connective global air travel too centralised? Will Lufthansa's new Frankfurt-KL service stimulate more direct connectivity between European and South East Asian markets? How resilient is Vietnam's tourism sector beneath the bullish forecasts? Is now the right time to transition away from visitor arrivals and tourist spending as the competitive metrics? Will travel conference programmers take geo-strategy and geo-economics more seriously and start discussing them in the same detail as AI and sustainability? Above all, are regional travel economies implementing the risk mitigation strategies they should have been preparing during Covid?

SummaryThe latest episode of the Startup Junkies podcast shines a spotlight on the enduring legacy and forward-thinking strategies of ACC Capital (formerly Arkansas Capital Corporation). Host Caleb Talley, joined by Jeff Amerine, welcomes Sam Walls, who shares the rich history and impact of ACC in Arkansas's entrepreneurial ecosystem.From its inception in the 1950s, ACC played a pivotal role in driving economic development and entrepreneurship in a state once plagued by poverty and limited capital. Sam details how ACC, born out of the vision of leaders like Winthrop Rockefeller, became a “third leg” in supporting capital needs, working alongside the state and private sector to bring manufacturing to Arkansas. Over the decades, ACC expanded its services, from pioneering SBA and USDA-guaranteed lending to launching Arkansas's first in-state SBIC venture capital fund and leading initiatives like the Governor's Cup business plan competition.Additionally, the episode highlights ACC's bold leap into the federal EB-5 immigrant investor program, which contributed nearly six hundred million dollars to transformative projects like Big River Steel in Mississippi County. For those passionate about economic development, this episode is an inspiring look at how steady vision and adaptability can create lasting impact.

Hosted by Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot with special guest Ashe in America, this special edition of The Audio Files dives deep into the culture, history, and philosophy behind jam bands. Ashe traces the musical lineage from The Grateful Dead's touring-first rebellion to The Allman Brothers' Southern rock harmonies, Derek and the Dominos' blues influence, Widespread Panic's Red Rocks legacy, and the sovereign spirit of Jack Johnson. Along the way, the trio explores bootleg culture, improvisation, musical community, and how bands built movements without relying on radio gatekeepers. The conversation crescendos with Dave Matthews Band, featuring a live COVID-era performance that became a lifeline during lockdowns, and a surprise guitar remix from Brad that bridges skepticism with appreciation. The episode closes with Rusted Root and a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend, reminding listeners why live music and shared experience matter so much. Themes of musical freedom, community resilience, artistic sovereignty, and the emotional power of live performance run throughout this episode.

Seagrass meadows may be the most powerful climate solution underwater, and almost no one is talking about them. Research published in Nature Climate Change shows that seagrass ecosystems store vast amounts of carbon in their sediments, sometimes for centuries. Unlike forests, much of this carbon is locked below ground in oxygen poor environments, reducing the risk of rapid release. But when seagrass meadows are degraded, that long-stored carbon can return to the atmosphere. A study in Science Advances demonstrates that large scale seagrass restoration can significantly enhance blue carbon sequestration while rebuilding ecosystem function. At the same time, NOAA documents how seagrass supports fisheries by acting as nursery habitat for commercially important species and protecting shorelines from erosion and storm damage. The UNEP Blue Carbon report makes it clear that coastal ecosystems like seagrass are essential for both climate mitigation and adaptation, yet they remain underfunded in global policy frameworks. If seagrass stores carbon, strengthens fisheries, and protects coastal infrastructure, why are we still underinvesting in one of the most efficient natural carbon sinks on the planet?

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine economies of scale, why growth strengthens some businesses while destroying value for others, and how cost structure ultimately determines whether scale becomes an advantage or a liability.Economies of scale are often treated as a vague benefit of getting bigger, but this episode breaks the concept down to its financial mechanics. We focus on fixed cost leverage, variable cost intensity, and operational leverage to explain why companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Costco become more efficient as they grow, while others struggle despite rapid revenue expansion.Using real-world examples, we show how scale changes unit economics, pricing power, margin resilience, and capital allocation decisions. We also explore the limits of scale and why growth alone does not guarantee profitability when variable costs dominate the business model.In this episode, we cover:What economies of scale actually mean in financial termsHow fixed costs and variable costs shape margin expansionWhy fixed cost leverage lowers unit costs as volume increasesHow purchasing power and logistics scale reinforce competitive advantageWhy Amazon accepted years of losses to build scale-driven efficiencyHow Costco uses scale to support a membership-based profit modelWhy Blue Apron's cost structure prevented profitable scalingThe role of operational leverage in amplifying upside and downside riskHow finance teams evaluate breakeven volumes and capacity utilizationWhy scale must reduce costs faster than complexity increases themThis episode also explains how finance leaders use these concepts in practice. Decisions around investing ahead of demand, expanding capacity, pricing aggressively, or slowing growth all depend on whether scale is improving unit economics or simply increasing exposure.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance professionalsFP&A and strategic finance teamsInvestors and analysts evaluating business modelsLeaders making capital allocation and growth decisions

Geoffrey West didn't set out to explain work. He was a physicist trying to understand why living things grow, age, and die. But when his questions expanded into biology, cities, and organizations, they offered a way to think about why growth changes how organizations behave and why success often brings new constraints.

We know from history that humans have gone through constant change. When one part of the world is at peace, another is in chaos. Economies rise and fall. Civilizations rise and fall. Life and death are constantly occurring. But the reality is that any season won't last for long. Things change. Life cycles.King Solomon gave us one of the most prolific and poetic texts for this concept in Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1-8.For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate.A time for war and a time for peace.Ask yourself 2 questions.Where do hear your own life, what time are you in right now?Where did you hear our culture, where might we be right now?Regardless of what time, or season you are in, or our culture is in, one truth remains, the other side of the coin, the other “time” will come back around soon enough.Interestingly, all of these ‘times' I just read are choices we make. Deliberate mindsets, or as the scripture calls it, ‘activities' that we choose. Is there a mindset that you need to reaffirm today? Or maybe readjust?Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, You created the seasons and the times of our lives. Help me to know what time you want it to be for me in every season. But help me to constantly make the current season a time to gather, embrace, mend, and love. As above, so below.”

Ahmed Riesgo sees potential “froth” in the gold market but believes it is overall in a long-term bullish trend. The “fundamentals of the U.S. economy – and the global economy – are strong,” he argues, noting Powell's comments about “benign” inflation yesterday.

Economies of Gender: Masculinity, "Mail Order Brides," and Women's Labor (Rutgers University Press, 2025) by Dr. Julia Meszaros offers a provocative exploration of the international dating industry, challenging simplistic narratives of human trafficking and scams while shedding light on the economic dynamics of gender. Through twelve years of fieldwork, the book delves into the motivations and experiences of men who seek relationships abroad, driven by dissatisfaction with Western women who, they believe, no longer embody traditional femininity. By examining romantic tourism hotspots such as Ukraine, Colombia, and the Philippines, Economies of Gender reveals how these international settings serve as "intimate frontiers," where men seek to extract femininity capital and bolster their status. It illuminates the often-unseen economic underpinnings of relationships and questions how global gender dynamics shape desires, fantasies, and intimate markets. Through its compelling analysis, the book broadens the conversation on gender, power, and the commodification of intimacy in a globalized world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

PREVIEW — Jim McTague — A Tale of Two Economies: Household Budget Constraints. Reporting from Lancaster County, McTague documents the existence of a "tale of two economies" through interviews with a family at Costco, wherein the father asserted that the economy was performing adequately. However, the mother, who manages the household's financial expenditures and budgeting, expressed significant concern that household expenses exceed available resources, making economic survival increasingly difficult. McTague validates the mother's assessment through personal observation of light retail traffic and diminished consumer engagement, suggesting that official economic statistics may mask genuine household financial distress affecting middle-class purchasing power and discretionary spending capacity.
