La trimestrale di Nvidia, pubblicata ieri sera, mostra ricavi record oltre 57 miliardi di dollari e una previsione di 65 miliardi per il trimestre successivo, sopra le attese degli analisti; anche l'utile netto, quasi 32 miliardi, supera le stime. Per il mercato globale questi numeri sono determinanti, perché Nvidia vale più degli interi listini di molte capitali europee ed è considerata un indicatore macro oltre che un titolo tecnologico. I conti arrivano dopo settimane di tensione legate ai timori di una bolla sull'IA: l'immediato +5% nell'after market indica sollievo, ma resta il tema degli enormi investimenti richiesti dalla rivoluzione dell'intelligenza artificiale. Le big tech prevedono centinaia di miliardi di spesa nei prossimi anni e stanno aumentando l'indebitamento: una corsa che alimenta dubbi sulla possibilità di ritorni certi e sull'eventuale rischio di sovra-investimenti. Secondo Goldman Sachs, i benefici economici dell'IA potrebbero però arrivare a migliaia di miliardi, potenzialmente sufficienti a giustificare gli investimenti in corso. Interviene Morya Longo, Il Sole 24 Ore.Manovra alle battute finali. Intanto continua a preoccupare la crescitaIl percorso approvativo della manovra entra nella fase decisiva, con 414 emendamenti segnalati come prioritari, di cui 238 dalla maggioranza. Il vertice tra le forze di governo è il primo banco di confronto su temi dove esistono punti d'incontro ma anche nodi ancora irrisolti. Le modifiche in arrivo, però, non cambieranno l'impostazione complessiva della manovra, che non riesce a incidere sulla crescita: per i prossimi anni l'Italia rimane ancorata a livelli vicini allo zero, nonostante l'intervento del Pnrr. L'Italia registra una delle crescite più basse dell'area euro - quest'anno quarta dal fondo, l'anno prossimo seconda, nel 2027 ultima - e la fine del Piano nel 2026 impone un primo bilancio del suo impatto. I dati disponibili confermano che, pur senza generare una crescita robusta, il Pnrr ha evitato stagnazione e recessione, grazie agli effetti espansivi degli investimenti pubblici richiamati dagli studi della Banca d'Italia. Inoltre, poiché gli investimenti di qualità finanziati in deficit riducono il rapporto debito/Pil attraverso una maggiore crescita, si può dire che il Pnrr ha contenuto l'aumento del debito atteso tra il 2024 e il 2026. Ne parliamo con Gaetano Scognamiglio, Presidente Promo Pa Fondazione e Co-fondatore dell'Osservatorio Recovery Plan (OREP). Manovra, Fdi propone di trasferire allo Stato l'oro di BankitaliaFratelli d'Italia ha presentato un emendamento - firmato da Lucio Malan - che afferma che le riserve auree detenute da Bankitalia appartengono allo Stato. Si tratta di un tema che ricorre ciclicamente da almeno vent'anni, spesso legato all'idea di una possibile vendita dell'oro per alleggerire i conti pubblici: un patrimonio stimato in circa 275 miliardi di euro, quasi un decimo del debito nazionale. Tuttavia la competenza su queste riserve non è nazionale: secondo il Trattato dell'Unione europea e le prerogative della Bce, il governo non può disporre autonomamente dell'oro che rientra nel sistema delle banche centrali dell'Eurosistema. È per questo che anche i tentativi precedenti di trasferire la proprietà allo Stato si sono sempre arenati. Il commento è di Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito del dipartimento di Economia dell'Università Bocconi.

"Sconfinano nel ridicolo", così ha risposto il Colle alla richiesta di chiarimenti del Capogruppo di FdI alla Camera Bignami, dopo l'articolo apparso sul quotidiano La Verità secondo il quale ci sarebbe un "piano" per affossare il Governo da parte di uno o più consiglieri vicini al Presidente Mattarella.

In apertura la rassegna stampa critica di Paolo Mieli.Torna a far discutere la riapertura dei termini per la sanatoria, introdotta dal governo Berlusconi nel 2003: è stata infatti inclusa nella legge di Bilancio tramite un emendamento proposto da Fratelli d'Italia. A trarne vantaggio sarebbero soprattutto i residenti della Campania, dove all'epoca il governatore del Pd Antonio Bassolino non mise in pratica la sanatoria. Per parlarne ospitiamo Marco Cerreto, capogruppo FdI in Commissione Agricoltura alla Camera e Marco Di Lello, ex assessore Urbanistica della Regione Campania ai tempi di Bassolino.

La Commissione riconosce all'Italia l'avvio di un percorso virtuoso sui conti, ma registra un rallentamento della crescita, aprendo la questione dell'impatto della Manovra. Gli emendamenti alla legge di bilancio sono circa 5.500, di cui 1.600 della maggioranza. FdI propone la riapertura della sanatoria edilizia del 2003; Forza Italia e Lega chiedono di cancellare l'aumento della cedolare secca al 26% e puntano sulla tassa sull'oro. Si attende il vertice tra Meloni, Salvini, Tajani e Lupi prima del voto sugli emendamenti in Senato. Approfondiamo con Alberto Orioli, editorialista de Il Sole 24 Ore e con Maurizio Lupi, presidente di Noi Moderati e membro della Camera dei deputati.Lo scontro diplomatico Cina-Giappone pesa sul NikkeiLa nuova premier giapponese Sanae Takaichi ha aperto una crisi diplomatica con la Cina definendo un'eventuale offensiva su Taiwan una "minaccia esistenziale", ipotizzando una risposta militare. Pechino ha reagito duramente, riaffermando la futura "riunificazione" e diffondendo messaggi minacciosi. La Cina ha sconsigliato ai cittadini di recarsi in Giappone e inviato navi vicino alle Senkaku/Diaoyu. Intanto l'economia giapponese si è contratta per la prima volta in sei trimestri (-1,8% annualizzato; -0,4% trimestrale), sostenendo il piano della premier per un pacchetto di stimoli oltre 17 trilioni di yen. Le tensioni si sono riflesse sul mercato: forti cali per titoli turistici, retail e cosmetics, compresi Japan Airlines, Ana, Isetan Mitsukoshi, Muji, Uniqlo, Shiseido e Oriental Land. Il Nikkei ha chiuso in lieve flessione (-0,10%), ma un boicottaggio cinese potrebbe pesare per 14,23 miliardi di dollari e ridurre il Pil dello 0,36%. Il commento è di Marco Masciaga, Il Sole 24 Ore New Delhi.Commissione Ue: crescita Eurozona 2025 rivista al rialzo, ma l'Italia resta in difficoltàLa Commissione europea prevede per il 2025 una crescita dell'Eurozona dell'1,3% (contro lo 0,9% di maggio). Per l'Italia, invece, stime riviste al ribasso: +0,4% nel 2025, +0,8% nel 2026, +0,8% nel 2027, con performance tra le più basse dell'area euro. Dombrovskis richiama la necessità di azioni per sbloccare la crescita interna: competitività, semplificazione regolatoria, completamento del mercato unico, innovazione. L'economia europea ha retto meglio del previsto anche all'arrivo di Trump e alla sua strategia commerciale. Per l'Italia il rallentamento del prodotto è attribuito a esportazioni nette negative (-0,7 punti) e fine degli incentivi immobiliari, con consumi frenati dall'incertezza. Sul fronte dei conti, la Commissione certifica un deficit al 3% nel 2025, con volontà del governo di scendere sotto soglia per uscire dalla procedura per disavanzo eccessivo. Parliamone con Alberto Orioli, editorialista de Il Sole 24 OrePer siderurgia ancora contrazione nel 2025, ripresa nel 2026L'evento evidenzia che dopo il rallentamento successivo al "biennio magico" 2021-2022, nel 2024 la siderurgia italiana registra un calo generalizzato: fatturato -9%, valore aggiunto -15%, utili -30%, Ebitda -29%. Le imprese prevedono un'ulteriore contrazione nel 2025: il 53% si attende un calo del fatturato e una riduzione dell'incidenza dell'Ebitda; il 47% un decremento del risultato economico. Le criticità principali restano costi dell'energia, ridotto valore aggiunto dei prodotti, costi di materie prime e semilavorati; sul fronte strategico pesano politiche green Ue, perdita di competitività e concorrenza sleale. Morandi sottolinea che Ebitda sotto pressione e filiera frammentata richiedono consapevolezza dei numeri, visione e coraggio di innovare. Lo studio "Bilanci d'Acciaio 2025" analizza i bilanci 2022-24 di 1.764 imprese e include un sondaggio sulle prospettive 2025. Ne parliamo con Paolo Morandi, amministratore delegato Siderweb, la community dell'acciaio.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news expectations are gyrating around the upcoming US-China leaders meeting. Markets have high expectations and are pricing in a positive outcome. For US markets, this is relatively modest and a 'relief'. For Chinese markets, and Asian markets more generally, it is very positive.A surge in market euphoria could well bring a surge in commodity prices, and in turn, inflation. This will complicate the US Fed's Thursday decision - but they won't know the final outcome of the Xi-Trump meeting when they make their decision later this week and that is awkward for them.Even before the results of the key meeting are known, Chinese industrial firms' profits rose more than +20% in September from the same month a year ago amid ongoing policy measures to revive business and consumer sentiment. Private-sector earnings strengthened markedly, while losses among state-owned enterprises narrowed quickly.Meanwhile, the stutter China had in foreign direct investment in the April to June period also seems to be over. In September, they attracted +¥68 bln in FDI, more than the +¥61 bln in the same month of 2024. But that earlier hesitation still means they are running more than -10% lower than last year, and 2024 was the weakest year they had for foreign direct investment in more than a decade. It may be improving slightly, but they are still in a serious shadow.And we should probably note that the hesitation about relationships with the US are expanding. Countries may 'engage' with the US transactionally to hold on to trade links, but China is winning. This is clear from Indonesia ordering Chinese fighter jets for its air force, and other naval equipment.In the US the data isn't quite so positive, although you wouldn't know it from the Wall Street signals today. Despite 'improving', the Dallas Fed factory survey is still reporting negative overall conditions. New orders shrank less, and manufacturing conditions remained below average. Perceptions of broader business conditions worsened somewhat in October and optimism about the next six months waned. But prices and wage pressures eased, the survey showed.Over the weekend, the US released its September CPI inflation data and it rose to 3.0%, up from 2.9% in August. This was slightly less than the expected 3.1% but it is still its highest level since June 2024. Energy costs, food and rents came in higher than that but petrol prices were lower.One factor to watch is that the rate of increase in the past two months is closer to +4% on an annualised basis. The number reported today relies on the low increases they had in 2024 and February to May. When those months work their way out of the annual calculation, the higher pressure outside those periods will come into play.Meanwhile, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey reported that Americans feel inflation is running at 4.6% and they downgraded their earlier confidence reading to now be -24% lower than year-ago levels.The internationally benchmarked PMI report for the US for October reported a strong start to the fourth quarter, with expansions in both the services (55.2) and factory sectors (52.2).If there is a relaxation of trade tensions after the China-US meeting, Australia could be a big beneficiary. And markets are starting to price that in.We should also probably note that the price of aluminium (or aluminum if you prefer) is rising fast again, back up to levels first reached in the pandemic spike. Causing this current surge is the price the Americans are prepared to pay because of their self-imposed tariffs, as producers avoid that market. Those American buyers are being hit twice.Also worth noting is a sudden rise in the price of sulfur (or sulphur if you prefer). Causing this spike is a fall in supply from some key oil producers (sulfur is a bi-product), when demand is rising for fertilisers.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.00%, dipping -1 bp from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3993/oz, down -US$118 overnight.American oil prices are -holding from yesterday at just over US$61.50/bbl, with the international Brent price still just on US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 57.7 USc, and up +20 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -40 bps at 87.9 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 49.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 62.2 and up +20 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at USD$115,614 and up +1.8% from this time yesterday.

Join hosts Richard Cunningham and John Coleman alongside special guest Tim Macready for FDI's October Marks on the Markets episode. This roundtable discussion examines Q4 2025's complex investment landscape: Fed rate cuts colliding with government shutdowns, sticky inflation at 2.9%, and markets continuing their remarkable 14% year-to-date climb despite mounting uncertainties.Key Topics:Federal rate cuts and their impact on private credit markets and real estateThe bifurcation of the US economy: wealth creation at the top versus challenges for lower-income householdsAI revolution's early effects on employment across different sectors and wage bandsPrivate markets landscape: venture capital resurgence, private equity stagnation, and real estate headwindsTariffs, H-1B visa changes, and the reshoring debate's practical implicationsFaith-driven investing movement update: growth in ETF options, impact measurement frameworks, and theological deepeningNotable Quotes:"The workforce in this country is so mobile relative to other parts of the world, willing to move for economic reasons... there's so much entrepreneurial drive, and this impetus to create and create new ideas and new products." - Tim Macready"I'm of the personal opinion it would actually be quite healthy for financial markets if we saw a 10, 15% correction over the next 12 months or so concentrated in those really highly valued growth stocks at the top end." - John Coleman"We're seeing more products, more assets, more options. We're also seeing a deepening of the recognition of integrity, impact integrity, of authenticity, of being able to articulate not just, hey, we're a Christian organization and we're investing, but what that means in practice." - Tim MacreadyEpisode Description:As Q4 2025 begins, faith-driven investors face a paradox: soaring public markets alongside economic bifurcation, technological disruption, and policy uncertainty. This October Marks on the Market episode brings together three seasoned investors to dissect what's really happening beneath the surface of headline numbers.Richard Cunningham, John Coleman, and Tim Macready examine the Fed's recent rate cut against the backdrop of a government shutdown, 3.8% GDP growth, and inflation that refuses to fully retreat. The conversation moves beyond macro headlines to explore what matters for faith-driven capital deployment: Are small and mid-cap stocks finally poised for their moment? How will AI's early employment impacts ripple through different economic strata? What does authentic impact measurement look like as the faith-driven investing movement matures?The discussion tackles private markets with particular nuance. Venture capital is resurging as IPO markets reopen, but private equity remains sluggish as firms wait for better exit conditions. Real estate continues working through its post-pandemic adjustment, while private credit faces questions about sustainability as rates potentially decline. John shares profound reflections from a recent World War II historical tour, connecting lessons about human courage and evil to today's calling for faithful stewardship. Tim provides encouraging updates on the faith-driven investing ecosystem's growth, including new ETF launches and the Christian Impact Framework's development for authentic impact measurement.

Over the last decade, "Make in India" has been at the heart of the Centre's economic policy and increasing defence manufacturing is a important part of that goal given India is one of the largest importers of defence equipment in the world. The sector, plagued by bureaucratic delays, budgetary constraints, and corruption, was opened to the private sector. The government streamlined procedures, earmarked weapons and platforms that will be manufactured domestically and allowed more FDI in the sector. Now, domestic manufacturing is booming. Defence expenditure increased from ₹2.53 lakh crore in 2013–14 to ₹6.81 lakh crore in 2025–26. In 2024–25, defence production touched a record ₹1.50 lakh crore, more than triple the 2014–15 level. Defence exports grew thirty-four times over the last decade, reaching ₹23,622 crore in 2024–25.  What does this mean for our defence preparedness?  Guest: Dinakar Peri, a fellow in the Security Studies program at Carnegie India Host: Nivedita V Edited and produced by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie talks with Niclas Poitiers and Damien Levie, head of the FDI screening unit in the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade and Economic Security. They discuss how the EU aims to reduce risks, track projects and coordinate national procedures related to non-EU investments in companies and critical infrastructure. How can the EU protect itself when investors from China, the U.S. and other countries want to make a purchase? How should countries decide which deals are important? Would a so-called 28th regime, or pan-EU legal framework, offer a way around bureaucratic backlogs? This conversation explains what is at stake as the Commission, member states and the European Parliament start talks on how to revise the rules.

Ep 538 - Selling Vancouver Jacquie Griffiths By Stuart McNish   “France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, Singapore, and the United States have successful Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) agencies. Canada can learn from these nations,” states a 2016 Government of Canada report called “Bringing Foreign Investment to Canada.”   The report points out Canada is trailing far behind in efforts to invite foreign companies to set up shop here, despite the benefits FDI brings. The report points out, “FDI strengthens Canadian productive capacity through knowledge transfer, the development of human capital, and new technology, management techniques, and production processes.”   According to the report, central to attracting foreign business “is a commitment at the highest political level as well as the provision of financial support and resources needed, active involvement from senior government officials, a single agency that coordinates information and services across various government offices, top-level talent, a clear investment strategy, use of a ‘concierge' service for investors, from initial contact and cultivation to assistance after the investment takes place. In the United States, the president, governors, and ambassadors are all involved in marketing and recruiting efforts.”   We invited Jacquie Griffiths, the CEO of Invest Vancouver, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about Greater Vancouver's efforts to attract foreign direct investment.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

Founded by Meseret Warner, Ignite Investment has taken on the ambitious task of enabling equity crowdfunding in Ethiopia, a country where capital markets had been almost non-existent until recently. In today's episode, Meseret shared how her platform is connecting Ethiopia's burgeoning entrepreneurs with the African diaspora to overcome geographic and financial barriers.“Ethiopia never had capital markets in the country,” Meseret explained. “But now we have a new proclamation in 2021... and equity investment crowdfunding is one of them.” This regulatory breakthrough has allowed Ignite Investment to operate in Ethiopia under a sandbox model, enabling the platform to test innovative financial systems while adhering to local laws.What makes Ignite Investment's approach unique is its focus on the African diaspora. Every year, billions of dollars flow from the diaspora back to the African continent, primarily as remittances. Meseret has created a mechanism to transform these funds into equity investments that support Ethiopian entrepreneurs. “Our target market is the African diaspora that sends billions and billions of dollars… as remittances and even investment,” she said.One of Ignite's recent successes is a rideshare company addressing the transportation challenges in Addis Ababa. This venture, which connects commuters with a network of minibus drivers through an Uber-like system, has nearly closed its fundraising round thanks to Ignite's platform. Meseret revealed, “They could have been oversubscribed because there are a lot more people interested to see them.”This is no small feat. Meseret's persistence has helped Ignite Investment craft partnerships with organizations like Zemen Bank and the African Development Bank, facilitating cross-border investments and providing vital financial infrastructure. Her team's partnership with GIZ, the German development agency, also helps local companies become more attractive to investors by improving transparency and governance.Ignite Investment is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it is a bridge between Ethiopia's untapped innovation and the global capital it needs to thrive. Meseret's vision extends beyond her home country, with plans to expand into other African nations.For investors in the diaspora and beyond, Ignite Investment offers an unprecedented opportunity to support impactful businesses while earning financial returns. Meseret's work is a testament to the power of persistence, innovation, and a belief in the potential of African entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Ethiopia's regulatory progress enabled Ignite Investment to launch equity crowdfunding under a sandbox model.Meseret Warner connects diaspora wealth with Ethiopian entrepreneurs, fostering impactful investments across borders.Ignite's partnerships with Zemen Bank, GIZ, and the African Development Bank strengthen its financial infrastructure.A rideshare company solving Addis Ababa's transportation issues exemplifies Ignite's successful ventures.Meseret's persistence has been key to overcoming challenges and scaling Ignite Investment's mission to other African nations.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerMeseret defines her superpower as persistence, a trait she's relied on during her 11-year journey to build Ignite Investment. She shared that overcoming regulatory hurdles and scaling an innovative platform in Ethiopia required unwavering determination. “Every year, I tell my husband, next year is my year… and then, of course, it doesn't happen. But I always see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. Persistence, combined with resourcefulness and partnerships, has been key to her success.Meseret recounted how her persistence helped her navigate Ethiopia's regulatory bottlenecks to establish equity crowdfunding. Ethiopia lacked a formal capital market, but Meseret engaged with regulators, participated in public consultations, and leveraged partnerships to secure a spot in the regulatory sandbox. After six years of groundwork, Ignite Investment is now operational, connecting diaspora investors with local entrepreneurs.Tips for Developing Persistence:Focus on the Big Picture: Identify a solution you believe in and let it guide your actions.Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge progress, even if it's incremental, to maintain motivation.Step Back Strategically: When facing challenges, reassess your approach and look for alternative solutions.Leverage Partnerships: Collaborate with individuals and organizations to solve specific challenges.Stay Resourceful: Continuously tap into your network to find answers and support.By following Meseret's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

After a successful exit, Rani served as Director of the World Trade Centre in Dublin, driving FDI and international trade.

Drawing on her entrepreneurial journey — from founding a global virtual assistant company to coordinating international trade missions — Rani highlights the value of identifying gateway products, facilitating difficult conversations, and staying present with her teams. For her, long-term success depends on a leader's willingness to address hard truths, adapt to change, and leverage human connection even in an AI-driven world. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Rani Dabrai, Certified EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide, about the power of reading the room in business. Rani shares how her upbringing shaped her emotional intelligence, the origins of her concierge company Miss Moneypenny, and how a drug dealer helped her discover her best marketing strategy. She also discusses EOS tools, team accountability, and the human advantage in the AI age.

Sam Bresnick, Research Fellow and Andrew W. Marshall Fellow at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss his recently published report, “Big Tech in Taiwan: Beyond Semiconductors.” They discuss a previous report Sam coauthored with Georgetown CSET colleagues, “Which Ties Will Bind?,” looking at U.S. Big Tech companies' exposure to China; Sam's recent report on the 17 examined companies' Taiwan entanglements; and how greenfield foreign direct investments (FDI), research and development (R&D) centers, data centers, supply chains, and more expose the studied U.S. companies to Taiwan. They also discuss how companies think about the geopolitical and security threat space, perspectives on “derisking” versus “decoupling” from Taiwan or China, and how U.S. policymakers could better track, identify, and potentially mitigate the risks.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
