Hostia: Matej Horňák (makroekonomický analytik Slovenskej sporiteľne) a Ľuboslav Kačalka (ekonomický novinár a komentátor magazínu Forbes). | Agentúra Standard & Poor's podržala rating Slovenska na úrovni A+, no s negatívnym výhľadom. V porovnaní s agentúrami Fitch a Moody's je to stále najlepšie hodnotenie – tie by mali známku opäť prehodnocovať v závere roka. Je udržanie známky od S&P potvrdením zodpovedného riadenia verejných financií? Ako stav interpretuje minsterstvo financií? Je hodnotenie agentúry v kontraste s tým, aký vývoj ekonomiky očakávajú iné inštitúcie ako RRZ a NBS? Líšia sa metodiky, podľa ktorých jednotlivé agentúry posudzujú rating krajiny? Čo všetko berú do úvahy a s akou váhou? Do akej miery je vývoj v rukách Slovenska, ak aj S&P konštatuje negatívne globálne vplyvy? Ako sa mení pohľad ratingových agentúr na ostatné krajiny v regióne resp. v Európe? Čo udržanie ratingu znamená pre krajinu v praxi, resp. čo by znamenalo jeho zhoršenie a ako rýchlo by sa prejavilo? Ako výrazne by sa zmenili napríklad náklady krajiny na obsluhu dlhu, hodnota štátnych dlhopisov? Aké sú možné sekundárne efekty na súkromný sektor (úvery pre firmy a domácnosti, investičné rozhodnutia)? Aký vývoj ratingov môžeme očakávať v budúcnosti? | Slovensko v očiach ratingových agentúr. | Moderuje: Soňa Mačor Otajovičová; | Diskusiu Z prvej ruky pripravuje Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Giorgia Meloni acaba de cumplir tres años en el cargo, un hito notable en un país como Italia, caracterizado desde hace décadas por la inestabilidad política y los gobiernos efímeros. Desde el final de la segunda guerra mundial sólo Silvio Berlusconi ha conseguido superar los tres años en el Palazzo Chigi. Si Meloni se mantiene otros diez meses más le igualará. Es muy posible que así sea porque goza de una posición sólida, su popularidad está por encima del 40%, un porcentaje de aprobación mucho más elevado que el de Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer o Pedro Sánchez. Italia, antes un dolor de cabeza para Bruselas por sus vaivenes políticos y económicos, es ahora todo un modelo a seguir. En estos tres años Meloni ha reducido el déficit público a la mitad, los rendimientos de los bonos a 10 años han bajado hasta situarse a la par de los de Francia, y el desempleo ha pasado del 8% al 6%, lo que está animando la recaudación fiscal. En septiembre la agencia Fitch mejoró la calificación crediticia del país precisamente por eso, porque el cuadro macroeconómico pinta mejor que el de otros países europeos. Sólo la monstruosa deuda pública, del 137% sobre PIB, ensombrece el panorama. Meloni se las ha apañado para transformar en muy poco tiempo la imagen internacional de Italia, especialmente si lo comparamos con el caos político en el que se han sumido sus vecinos franceses, que coleccionan primeros ministros, protestas callejeras y mociones de censura en el parlamento. La coalición de Meloni, que ganó en 2022 con el 44% de los votos, mantiene su ventaja en las encuestas. Esto es así porque ha sabido equilibrar su base electoral más dura con cierto pragmatismo que tranquiliza a los moderados y a Bruselas. Aunque en el pasado, cuando estaba en la oposición, criticaba sin piedad a la Unión Europea, ahora prioriza el control del déficit y ha desarrollado una relación muy constructiva con Ursula von der Leyen. En el interior da satisfacción a sus votantes con medidas típicamente conservadoras como los límites que ha impuesto al aborto pero sin derogar la ley de 1978, ha convertido en delito la gestación subrogada y ha endurecido las penas contra quienes atenten contra la policía. Su política migratoria no es tan agresiva como se esperaba, pero ha reducido las llegadas gracias a un acuerdo con Túnez, que la Unión Europea ha firmado en su nombre. Eso sí, su plan de procesar las solicitudes de asilo en Albania no ha terminado de salir. Sus críticas al Pacto Verde de la UE han encontrado eco en otras partes de Europa, especialmente en Alemania, donde el canciller Friedrich Merz se ha convertido en su aliado. Su éxito es innegable, pero tiene por delante algunos escollos como el problema del raquítico crecimiento económico de Italia. La economía no se ha recuperado del todo del impacto de la pandemia y la inflación que le siguió. Sus aliados de la Liga le buscan algunos problemas en el extranjero, pero ha conseguido domar a Matteo Salvini y ponerle esencialmente a su servicio. Por suerte para ella la oposición de izquierda está dividida y desconectada de las preocupaciones del italiano medio. Su sentido práctico quizá no apasione a la mayoría, pero si parece convencerles. Es quizá la opción menos mala posible y eso mismo es lo que hace que se mantenga en el poder.

China and the United States have reached "preliminary consensus" on key issues, including tariff suspension, trade in agricultural products and export controls, after two days of "constructive" trade talks in Malaysia over the weekend.上周末，中美在马来西亚举行了为期两天的“建设性”贸易会谈。会谈后，双方就关税暂停、农产品贸易、出口管制等关键议题达成“初步共识”。A statement released on Sunday following the conclusion of the fifth round of trade talks since May said that officials representing China and the US held "frank, in-depth and constructive" exchanges on key trade issues of mutual concern.自5月以来的第五轮贸易会谈于周日结束，会后发布的声明称，中美双方代表就共同关注的关键贸易议题进行了“坦诚、深入且富有建设性”的交流。China and the US gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation, Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng said after meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday and Sunday.中国国务院副总理何立峰于周六和周日在吉隆坡同美国财政部长斯科特・贝森特、美国贸易代表贾米森・格里尔会面后表示，中美合作则两利，对抗则两伤。He noted that when economic and trade frictions appear, both countries should uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation to properly address each other's concerns through equal-footed dialogue and consultation.何立峰指出，当经贸摩擦出现时，两国应秉持相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢的原则，通过平等对话协商妥善解决彼此关切。The US should work with China toward the same direction, to further build up trust, manage differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote bilateral economic and trade relations to a higher level, the vice-premier added.副总理补充道，美方应与中方相向而行，进一步增进互信、管控分歧、扩大互利合作，推动双边经贸关系迈向更高水平。The talks addressed various issues, including the US' Section 301 measures targeting China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors, extension of the reciprocal tariff suspension, fentanyl-related tariffs and law enforcement cooperation, trade in agricultural products, and export controls, the statement said.声明称，会谈涉及多个议题，包括美方针对中国海事、物流和造船行业的“301条款”措施、相互关税暂停期限延长、芬太尼相关关税及执法合作、农产品贸易以及出口管制等。A preliminary consensus was reached about arrangements to address each other's concerns, with both sides agreeing to further work out the specifics and follow their respective domestic approval processes.双方就解决彼此关切的安排达成初步共识，并同意进一步细化具体内容，同时履行各自国内审批程序。Li Chenggang, China's international trade representative at the Ministry of Commerce, told a news conference on Sunday that while the US presented its position firmly, China remained resolute in safeguarding its interests.中国商务部国际贸易谈判代表李成钢周日在新闻发布会上表示，尽管美方坚定地表达了自身立场，但中方在维护自身利益方面同样立场坚定。Li said that China has strictly followed the consensus reached in multiple phone conversations between the two heads of state, earnestly implementing the outcomes of economic and trade consultations, and carefully safeguarding the "hard-won relative stability" in bilateral relations. "The recent fluctuations and disruptions are not what China wishes to see," he added.李成钢指出，中方严格遵循两国元首多次通话达成的共识，认真落实经贸磋商成果，悉心维护双边关系“来之不易的相对稳定局面”。他补充道：“近期出现的波动和干扰并非中方所愿。”The latest round of trade talks took place at a tense time when Washington's imposition of new restrictions prompted resolute countermeasures from Beijing, shattering months of relative calm.最新一轮贸易会谈召开之际，局势本就紧张——美方实施新的限制措施，引发中方采取坚决反制措施，打破了数月来的相对平静。The two countries had reached a trade truce in May, agreeing to roll back triple-digit tariffs, which was later extended to Nov 10.两国曾在5月达成贸易休战协议，同意取消三位数关税，该协议后来延长至11月10日。However, at the end of September — mere weeks after the fourth round of trade negotiations in Spain yielded progress in stabilizing ties — the US expanded its export controls on advanced technology to China. This was followed by imposition of additional port fees on Chinese-built and Chinese-operated ships earlier this month.然而，9月底——距双方在西班牙举行第四轮贸易谈判、在稳定双边关系方面取得进展仅几周后，美方扩大了对中国先进技术的出口管制。本月早些时候，美方又对中国建造和运营的船舶额外征收港口费。The administration of US President Donald Trump, in retaliation for Beijing's tightened restrictions on rare earth exports for military applications, also vowed to impose 100 percent additional tariffs on Chinese goods and export controls on "any and all critical software" effective next month.针对中方收紧军用稀土出口管制的举措，美国总统唐纳德・特朗普政府还誓言将于下月对中国商品额外征收100%的关税，并对“所有关键软件”实施出口管制，以此作为报复。Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of World Economics and Politics, said that consensus cannot last if the US continues to weaken the trust it is built upon with its unilateral and protectionist actions.中国社会科学院世界经济与政治研究所研究员高凌云表示，若美方继续通过单边主义和保护主义行径削弱共识所依赖的互信基础，那么共识将难以维系。It's crucial for the US to work with China to take concrete actions and faithfully honor their commitments made during these talks, thereby creating conditions for further dialogue and cooperation that will benefit the two countries and the world at large, Gao added.高凌云补充道，美方与中方共同采取切实行动、切实履行会谈期间作出的承诺至关重要，唯有如此，才能为进一步对话与合作创造条件，这不仅有利于中美两国，也将惠及全世界。Observers are also closely watching to see whether the two economic heavyweights extend their "tariff truce", which is set to expire on Nov 10, while hoping to see broader cooperation between the two countries.观察人士也在密切关注这两个经济大国是否会延长将于11月10日到期的“关税休战”，同时期待两国开展更广泛的合作。Sean Stein, president of the US-China Business Council, told China Daily that he hoped that both sides would agree to further extend the tariff truce. Stein cautioned that it was better not to have high expectations from the China-US dialogue in the short term. "It should set us up for a better, longer-term trade relationship," he added.美中贸易全国委员会主席肖恩・斯坦因在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，他希望双方能同意进一步延长关税休战。斯坦因提醒称，不应对短期的中美对话抱有过高期望。他补充道：“此次对话应为建立更良好、更长期的贸易关系奠定基础。”"The US and China are the world's two largest economies, the world's two most technologically advanced economies, and the world's two most dynamic economies," he said, adding that "there are a lot of things that we need to get right on the economic front".他表示：“美国和中国是全球前两大经济体，也是全球技术最先进、最具活力的两个经济体。”他还补充说，“在经济领域，我们有许多事情需要处理妥当。Former US treasury secretary Robert E. Rubin said that the better way would be to have "an open trading system" between the US and China, as well as involving the rest of the world. "Chinese people have a very strong history of technological innovation, and in time they'll get where they need to be," Rubin said on the sidelines of the 2025 Bund Summit in Shanghai earlier this week.”美国前财政部长罗伯特・鲁宾表示，更好的方式是中美之间建立“开放的贸易体系”，同时让世界其他国家也参与其中。本周早些时候，鲁宾在上海举行的2025年外滩金融峰会上表示：“中国人民在技术创新方面有着深厚的历史积淀，假以时日，他们一定能实现自己的目标。Rubin said that if the two countries can work together on artificial intelligence in an open trading system, the results would be "advantageous".”鲁宾指出，若两国能在开放的贸易体系下就人工智能领域开展合作，所产生的成果将“颇具益处”。Despite the recent escalation in tensions between the two countries, many US businesses remain optimistic about their future in the Chinese market. "The Chinese market remains our No 1 priority in the Asia-Pacific region," said Steven Sare, managing director for the Asia-Pacific of US apparel and accessories retailer Abercrombie & Fitch.尽管近期两国紧张局势升级，但许多美国企业对其在中国市场的未来仍持乐观态度。美国服装配饰零售商阿贝克隆比&费奇亚太区董事总裁史蒂文・萨尔（音译）表示：“中国市场仍是我们在亚太地区的首要关注点。”preliminary /prɪˈlɪmɪnəri/adj.初步的；预备的reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/adj.相互的；互惠的；对等的unilateral /ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl/adj.单方面的；单边的；片面的

In the coming weeks we have some terrific conversations that are both fun and inspiring. They are going to include thought provoking futurists, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.We'll also have guests who are creative marketing masters from international brands and people who have started and grown some of the companies that are striking a new path for us follow.The NXTLVL Experience Design podcast is grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. The IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 81… I talk with Christian Davies. We actually recorded this discussion months ago and Christian wondered if publishing it now was still relevant.I assured him it was, since Christian tends to unearth issues that are future forward - things to be mindful about should we want to address the issues we all face as individuals or societies or as architects and designers making places and things as we serve as our clients creative sherpa guides bringing ideas into the built world. Now… Christian has been sitting atop the heap of 80 conversations as the most listened to episode since we recorded our first talk a couple years ago. So, I thought, well why not do Christian Davies 2.0?Christian does not disappoint - never has – over a couple of decades, Christian has consistently drawn audiences and colleagues into conversation, sometimes challenging, and always brilliant and things that drive design thinking. His matter-of-fact English attitude to the world of design is sometimes a ‘no holds barred' reality check that makes you think twice about the truths you have held dear. His drive towards excellence is irrepressible. That makes him, some may say, demanding because I think he expects that we all give a damn about what we are brining into the world. And why not? We all share space on this little blue dot and, we had better get it, and soon, that we are part of a vast ecosystem of interdependencies.We cover a lot of ground in this open-ended conversation – I'd not expect less from Christian - And here is a few thoughts on subject areas we touch on…1. Entropy:Entropy is a scientific measure of disorder, randomness.Astrophysicist and other cosmologists have postulated that our universe is continuing to expand to a maximum state of entropy from a moment in time, the beginning of the Universe that they have called The Big Bang.There's lots of great content that you can certainly dig up on what happens when the universe finally expands to maximum entropy and all particles are spread out evenly within the unimaginably large space of the universe. It's suggested that of course this maximun expansion will take something like 10 to the 36 or 37 power years in other words trillions and trillions of years. A very very long time….But for now, the way I try to think of it is things will expand and eventually slow down as they all spread out to be evenly distributed throughout the universe… seems reasonable…It's kind of like imagining the initial moments after a massive explosion. Things spread out pretty quickly from the epicenter of the explosion and as they're flung far and wide, particles eventually slow and if you think of it in terms of entropy they all reach maximum randomness.I kind of think that right now, today, considering that the scientists think that the universe has only been around for 14 1/2 billion years or so, that we're kind of right at that very beginning stage of the explosion and things are moving faster and faster away from the epicenter of The Big Bang. This is interesting if you think that the universe will continue to be expanding for a few trillion years so right now yeah, we're kind of sort of in the one second after the explosion time frame. Anyway I am not an astrophysicist and some of these enormous ideas still leave me scratching my head…If we look at today, and everything around us, it certainly seems that things are speeding up and becoming more distributed, more random.I know I've talked about the whole idea of the pace of change in a number of episodes but I find this really interesting because, as I discussed with Christian, it's really hard to design into a future state when you consider that the sands beneath your feet are always shifting.How do we know which step is the right one? How do you know when we step on solid ground or drop forever into a bottomless void…I think the challenge here for designers is that, at least for a time, we need to have a sense of stability and order. The challenge is, I think, is that we're moving to an increasing rate of change where stability and order might be elusive to say the least.2. Moments of human connection make experiences great:I think as we speed along and never ending sea of change perhaps one of the things that we can hang on to, a stake in the ground if you will, will continue to be our ability to maintain our relationships.Change has a funny way of, well… changing people. And, one of our jobs will be to keep up with changing expectations of brands and their customers. One thing is sure, as we scream along this ever changing path, relationships will remain as one of the fundamental qualities of great experiences. Both brand experience architecture and the means with which we engage with brands will change to meet evolving expecations but, my expectation, (or maybe it's just my hope) is that humans still stay at the center of it all - Since at least for this short little time that humans have been in existence, we have relied on the empathic connection between individuals to help create meaning and connection to the world around us as well as the things well as the things we simply buy.And I, like Christian, believe that in the end, when you look at successful projects in our long design careers, the good ones, I mean the really good ones, we're not just because we received a great brief with an inspired client who had a vision of changing up the world,but that the teams we were connected to both on the consultant and client sides were also great. There was something that clicked. There was a gel in communication, respect and collaboration that drove these projects forward.Some may have heard me say before projects will come and go but the relationships are really what make the work great. I'd rather lose a project than trash the relationships…3. Three things that facilitate success stories in the world of retail place-making:So, if you're going to look at success stories over a career full of projects, when you look back at what really made them great was, of course that they were successful from a financial point of view, that they drove increase customers and deeper brand relationships and better revenues all those things are important indicators of success but that there are things that are required to make all of that happen. One would be that there's a big idea someone at the helm of a brand or business that has a thought about doing something different breaking out of a traditional way of bringing goods or services to market, of serving a customer in a different way and technology is often being a facilitator of that.There was coffee long before Starbucks. There was getting from A to B lby horse, camel, richshaw, long before Uber. There were places to stay along the Silk Road before Airbnb. And if you had a shaman in your village you could likely find out where you ame from and where your future was going to be long before there were anything like 23&Me or ancestry.com. In some ways the goods or services have not really changed. How we get them in the hands of customers has changed and that has often been facilitated with new technologies.4. AI – as a new tool for ideation and the ‘why' behind design:One of those technological advances of course that everybody is talking about these days is artificial intelligence.AI it's both causing a lot of excitement about what it sees has to offer in the short term, becoming a new tool in the architect and designers toolbox for ideation as well as causing a lot of concern about what happens to humankind when we finally get to general AI or super artificial intelligence.I am both excited and increasingly aware of influences that it will have on the job market, delivery of goods and services and other parts of the ecosystem like education and manufacturing etcetera etcetera.But if we just for a moment set some of the anxieties aside and simply look at as a tool for imagination and engagement with clients fostering the collaborative process of ideation, it has extraordinary potential to change the game of how we designers and architects work with our clients and create ideas about bringing their goods and services to market.There's a lot of opportunity and uncertainty about what happens when you turbocharge the creative process with AI tools.In the end though, at least for now, the question remains - is that there is a human at the helm of prompt curation?The output is only as good as the input that I'm able to suggest as a prompt. If not… garbage in – garbage out.This of course is interesting because it puts the initial burden still on people to be able to articulate their vision in language and use AI tools to refine the visualizations and other content that emerges from using them.As we use these tools they make things faster but I also sometimes wonder about whether they simply make us lazy and remove our thinking from the process.So Christian does talk about the idea of the drawings or images being very compelling but also needing to ask, and answer, the question of ‘why this particular approach or output is relevant and connected to the brand or customer that we're trying to serve?In the end it's not about the ‘what' of things that make solutions to design challenges great but more and more about the ‘why' you're doing certain things.It's about the process by which you got to the solution rather than simply the solution itself.Don't get me wrong the solutions to the challenges are sometimes very satisfying but what I'm ultimately interested in is the thinking process that led you to along this pathway… it's the journey not just the destination that's important in the creative process….And I think it's ever more important to our clients in the design world that they're looking for people who are not just production oriented but who are also focused on guiding them through an uncertain future5. B-Corporations:And this in a way leads us to the part of our my discussion with Christian about how his company Bergmeyer has recently become a B-Corp.A B-Corporation is a for profit company, but it is certified by the non-profit  B Lab Global and the whole idea is that it seeks to meet high standards for social and environmental performance and accountability and even more so transparency in the ways that they are doing business in support of being good stewards of our environment.In the changing sands that we're all standing on, as entropy increases and uncertainty continues to unfold in front of us, there is certainty that our planet is also in peril as climate change continues to wreak havoc on environmental systems. These B-corporations are seen as a force for good who work to balance profit with a commitment to both people and our planet. What differentiates them from other traditional companies is that they prioritize the social and environmental impacts of their business while at the same time not discounting the fact that they still are in business - that they are accountable to stakeholders as well as shareholders.The stakeholders can be considered as all of us because as companies continue to pull resources out of the ground and push the byproducts of industrialization into landfills and oceans all of our lives are at stake.All right then that's a not so brief summary of some of the ideas that Christian and I riff on in our conversation…Let's dig into some of the details…ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Afgelopen week was er lichte paniek in de Amerikaanse bankenwereld. Sommige regionale banken kwamen in de problemen en moesten een beroep doen op de speciale kredietfaciliteiten van de Federal Reserve. Ze betalen daar een flinke rente over, dus doen ze dat alleen als het echt heel erg nodig is. Gouverneur Andrew Bailey van de Bank of England vroeg zich af of dit de kanarie in de kolenmijn is. De kredietcrisis in 2008 begon immers ook op deze manier. Tijd om eens goed te luisteren.De drie voornaamste probleemgevallen waren First Brands, een maker van auto-onderdelen, en de verstrekkers van autoleningen Tricolor en First Lend. Tricolor kwam in de problemen omdat het simpelweg te veel schulden had, die vooral waren gefinancierd met private credit. Oftewel leningen die niet beursgenoteerd zijn. De private-creditmarkt is momenteel erg hot. Veel grote beleggers vinden het prettig dat er geen koers is. Die kan dan niet bewegen, waardoor het net lijkt alsof er geen risico is. Maar zoals dit geval heel duidelijk maakt: die risico’s zijn er natuurlijk wel degelijk. Vooral aan de onderkant van de samenleving hebben steeds meer consumenten moeite hun autoleningen te betalen. Kredietbeoordelaar Fitch meldde dat 6,43% van alle Amerikanen met een autolening niet meer aan hun betalingsverplichtingen kan voldoen. Dat is bijna het hoogste percentage sinds Fitch dit in 1993 is gaan bijhouden. Tricolor had daarbij nog een specifiek probleem. Het leende zijn geld vooral uit aan immigranten. Erg aantrekkelijk, want leningen hebben hoge marges. Maar nu deze immigranten de VS worden uitgezet, hebben ze weinig behoefte hun autoleningen af te lossen. En dus komt deze leningverstrekker in de problemen. Zijn deze problemen de kanaries in de kredietmijn? Ik verwacht niet dat er nog veel meer bedrijven zijn met een grote kredietexposure naar immigranten. Bovendien valt de grootte van het probleem wel mee in vergelijking met de kredietcrisis. Ten eerste: het probleem zat destijds vooral in hypotheken. Er werd flink gespeculeerd in de huizenmarkt. Nu zit het probleem onder andere in autoleningen. Daar speculeer je niet mee. Ten tweede, en veel belangrijker: de gemiddelde autolening is veel kleiner dan de gemiddelde hypotheekschuld. Er zijn genoeg problemen in de VS, maar de genoemde gevallen staan op zichzelf. Ongetwijfeld komen er nog wel wat meer kredietverleners in de problemen, vooral als die zich richten op mensen met een laag kredietprofiel. Het gevalletje First Brands is wel een prima waarschuwing voor de gevaren van private credit. Het feit dat je Meneer Markt het kredietrisico niet laat beprijzen, betekent zeker niet dat het zonder risico is – je kunt het alleen minder goed zien. Die op en neer gaande koersen voelen misschien niet zo prettig, maar zo’n beursnotering heeft zeker voordelen. Corné van Zeijl is analist en strateeg bij Cardano en belegt ook privé.

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards launches a sharp critique against Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office for what he calls a "witch hunt" prosecution of two former Capitol Police officers, Frederickson and Reinholt, over the fatal shooting of Jalen Lewis. Edwards highlights that the AG's own expert witness reviewed the evidence and concluded the use of force was justified and not excessive, pointing to photos of Lewis with guns and drugs at the scene. He expresses shock at the charges, framing it as unnecessary "conservative-on-conservative violence." Edwards also blasts WLBT reporter CJ Lemasters for an article that refuses to acknowledge the officers' innocence, insisting they "didn't do it." The rant underscores Edwards' support for the Capitol Police's role in maintaining order.              

L'émission 28 minutes du 23/10/2025 Cartographier le monde, un enjeu de pouvoir En octobre 1884, le méridien de Greenwich est adopté comme standard international et reste jusqu'à aujourd'hui le méridien de référence pour les Européens. Il est essentiel pour la cartographie numérique, qui nous guide, et est à l'origine de notre organisation du temps. Ces “cercles imaginaires” disent beaucoup de notre représentation du monde pour Fabrice Argounès, auteur du livre  “Méridiens. Mesurer, partager, dominer le monde” (CNRS éditions). Il explique qu'il existait d'autres méridiens avant celui de Greenwich : celui de Bagdad, Pékin ou de Madras avec l'idée pour chaque société de se placer au centre du monde. Le géographe et géohistorien nous explique comment la cartographie a toujours été un instrument politique. Record du CAC 40 : la Bourse de Paris au plus haut malgré la crise politique et la dette ?La Bourse de Paris a atteint un nouveau sommet historique le 21 octobre. Ce record a de quoi étonner alors que la France fait face à une dette abyssale, que l'instabilité politique est forte  et que les agences de notation dégradent la note de la France. Après Fitch, il y a un mois, l'agence S&P a dégradé la note de la dette souveraine du pays vendredi en invoquant une incertitude “élevée” sur les finances publiques, baissant d'un cran la note de la France de AA- à A+. Dans le même temps, le budget est examiné à l'Assemblée nationale. Les discussions s'annoncent rudes avec le rejet en commission des finances du volet “recettes” du budget 2026, mercredi 22 octobre. Enfin, Victor Dekyvère revient sur 70 ans d'évolution du corps masculin.

APAC stocks were firmer, with gains across the board following a positive handover from Wall Street, where tech outperformed, whilst the US jobs reports this week look set to be delayed after CR votes failed again on Wednesday, as expected.Fitch said a US government shutdown does not have near-term implications for the ‘AA+'/stable US sovereign rating; S&P estimated the shutdown could reduce GDP growth by 0.1–0.2 ppts per week.10yr JGB futures came under pressure after the 10yr JGB auction, which printed a lower cover ratio than the prior sale and followed the recent 2yr JGB auction that saw the weakest cover ratio since 2009.The US will provide Ukraine with intelligence for missile strikes deep inside Russia, and US officials are asking NATO allies to provide similar support, via WSJ.Looking ahead, highlights include Swiss CPI (Sep), EZ Unemployment (Aug), US Challenger Layoffs (Sep), BoJ's Uchida, Fed's Logan, ECB's de Guindos, BoC's Mendes, Supply from Spain, France, and the UK.Due to the US government shutdown, the following US data will not be released: Weekly Claims, Factory Orders (Aug), Durable Goods Rev.

Frankrijk, Canada, het Verenigd Koninkrijk, België. Het zijn westerse landen die deze week de Palestijnse staat hebben erkend. Voor Nederland is het volgens David van Weel, demissionair minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, nu nog niet het juiste moment. ‘We zien het als een chip, een kaart die we hebben, die we in willen zetten op het moment dat wij denken dat dat het politieke proces een stapje verder kan brengen.’ Lees ook | Van Weel: ‘Erkenning staat Palestina zien we als een kaart die we kunnen inzetten’ Van Weel ontkent dat Nederland 'problemen' heeft met de erkenning van de staat Palestina, maar noemt het 'een timing-vraag'. 'Vroeger zeiden we als Nederland: we doen dat helemaal aan het einde van het proces, als we alles weten, waar de grenzen liggen, hoe het bestuur eruitziet, hoe de economie in elkaar zit. Daar zijn we van afgestapt. Vooralsnog geen erkenning, net zomin als een volledige handelsboycot, aldus Van Weel. 'Israël is een hele belangrijke handelspartner voor ons geweest en de EU is ook heel belangrijk voor Israël. Daarom vinden wij het ook een goed signaal als het handelsdeel van het associatieakkoord nu zou worden opgeschort om een duidelijk signaal te geven waar het pijn doet dat we dit niet accepteren. Maar voordat je tot een volledige handelsboycot overgaat, dat zijn nog een aantal stappen op het ganzenbord', aldus Van Weel. Luister ook | 'Persoonscultus zoals bij Trump hebben we niet eerder gezien' Geen ‘Italiaanse toestanden’ meer door Giorgia Meloni Het gaat goed met Italië. Zo goed zelfs dat de kredietwaardigheid van het land is verhoogd door beoordelaars S&P en Fitch. Maar niet alleen dat, ook politiek gezien is het er voor het eerst in tijden rustig en zijn de ‘Italiaanse toestanden’ voorbij. Dat is te danken aan premier Giorgia Meloni die het nu al drie jaar volhoudt. Volgens Italië-kenner Donatello Piras is Meloni één van de slimste politici in Europa. .

L’Ocse ha rivisto al rialzo le previsioni di crescita globale per il 2025, portandola al 3,2%, stabile rispetto al 2024 (3,3%). Per il 2026 è previsto un rallentamento al 2,9%. L’Italia passa dallo 0,7% del 2024 allo 0,6% nel 2025 e 2026. Negli Stati Uniti la crescita 2025 è stimata all’1,8%, ma i dazi e l’incertezza commerciale pesano sull’economia. Gli investimenti in settori ad alta tecnologia e possibili allentamenti monetari potrebbero mitigare gli effetti negativi. Mathias Cormann (Ocse) avverte che la cooperazione internazionale è fondamentale per una crescita stabile e sostenibile. Il commento è di Mario Deaglio, professore emerito di Economia Internazionale Università di Torino.BTP, polizze anti default ai minimi dalla crisi LehmanLa promozione del rating dell’Italia da parte di Fitch non ha avuto impatti rilevanti sui mercati: i rendimenti dei Btp 10 anni restano stabili al 3,57%, simili a quelli francesi. I credit default swap italiani sono ai livelli del 2008, segnalando rischio di default minimo. L’Italia ha un debito elevato (135,3% del Pil), ma è tornata in avanzo primario di bilancio, con deficit previsto sotto il 3% nel 2025. La Francia, pur con debito inferiore, ha un disavanzo primario più alto. La stabilità percepita dell’Italia mantiene i rendimenti stabili e i CDS ai minimi dalla crisi Lehman. Ne parliamo con Morya Longo, Il Sole 24 Ore.Immobili, mercato in rialzo nel 2025: acquisti prima casa al 73%Nel secondo trimestre 2025 il mercato immobiliare italiano è cresciuto grazie alle agevolazioni fiscali sulla prima casa e al calo dei tassi. Il 72,5% dei privati ha usufruito dello sconto, con punte dell’85,2% a Roma e dell’81,8% a Genova. Le compravendite sono aumentate dell’8,1% su base annua. Il 45,9% delle transazioni è stato finanziato con mutuo, favorito dai tassi in calo. I piccoli centri hanno superato i capoluoghi (+8,4% contro +7,2%). I prezzi delle abitazioni mostrano una crescita moderata: +3,8% a Roma, +3,2% a Palermo, +2,6-2,8% a Firenze e Bologna, mentre Milano cala dell’1,3%. Per il 2026 Nomisma prevede crescita lenta, Scenari Immobiliari un boom con fatturato oltre 170 miliardi e 800mila vendite. La forte incidenza delle agevolazioni indica una domanda meno abbiente e una certa fragilità del mercato. Interviene Mario Breglia, Presidente Scenari Immobiliari.

¿Cómo se observa el informe de Fitch y la decisión de mantener estable en BBB la nota crediticia de la deuda uruguaya? Análisis del economista Luciano Magnífico

Dopo la buona notizia di venerdì arrivata dall'agenzia di rating Fitch che ha migliorato il giudizio dell'Italia a BBB+ da BBB, oggi anche l'Istat è foriera di ottimismo. L Istituto ha rivisto al rialzo la stima sul Pil del 2023: dallo 0,7% previsto a marzo scorso, sulla base dei nuovi dati sale a 1%, con una revisione positiva di 0,3 punti percentuali. L istituto spiega che c è stata un modifica dei tassi di crescita delle componenti: i consumi delle famiglie hanno registrato un aumento allo 0,5% dallo 0,3% dell edizione precedente e i consumi delle amministrazioni pubbliche all 1,1% (da +0,6% nella versione precedente). Ne parliamo con Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito del dipartimento di Economia dell'Università BocconiCersaie, energia e tensioni geopolitiche allarmano l'industria ceramicaNei padiglioni di BolognaFiere, da oggi 22 settembre al 26, ha preso il via la 42esima edizione torna Cersaie, salone internazionale della ceramica per l architettura e dell arredobagno. Torna, ampliato, su 155 mila metri quadrati (10 mila in più rispetto al 2024), 620 espositori, dei quali 243 stranieri (il 39% del totale), provenienti da 29 Paesi. "Cersaie si conferma un salone cardine del trasferimento del valore dell'eccellenza della nostra produzione, attraverso il canale trade, a una molteplicità di interlocutori", dice Filippo Manuzzi, presidente della commissione Promozione e fiere di Confindustria Ceramica. «Vogliamo coinvolgere tutti gli operatori nella ricerca delle tante nuove applicazioni di un materiale che oggi è protagonista anche dell'arredo urbano», prosegue Manuzzi. Approfondiamo il tema con Augusto Ciarrocchi, presidente Confindustria Ceramica.Trump lancia la gold card per la cittadinanza. E i visti diventano più cariCon l'obiettivo di rimodellare il sistema dei visti statunitense per lavoratori stranieri altamente qualificati e investitori, il presidente Donald Trump alla fine della scorsa settimana ha firmato un provvedimento che richiederà una nuova tassa annuale di 100 mila dollari per le domande di visto H-1B e ha introdotto un visto "gold card" da 1 milione di dollari come potenziale via d'accesso alla cittadinanza statunitense. Queste iniziative si scontrano con sfide legali pressoché certe e con diffuse critiche sul fatto che Trump stia andando oltre l'autorità presidenziale eludendo il Congresso. Le misure porteranno a un aumento vertiginoso dei prezzi per i visti per lavoratori altamente qualificati e investitori, creati dal Congresso nel 1990. Al momento per registrarsi alla lotteria per ottenere un visto H-1B si pagano 215 dollari, ai quali si aggiungono altri 780 dollari per le aziende che sponsorizzano il richiedente. Lo scorso anno sono state approvate 400.000 richieste per i visti H-1B, di cui l'India è la maggiore beneficiaria. La stretta rischia quindi di esacerbare ulteriormente i rapporti già tesi fra Washington e New Delhi dopo i maxi-dazi imposti da Trump per gli acquisti di petrolio russo. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore di NewsMondo.it.

Het zit nog altijd tegen bij Apple, maar het kan nu een klein succesje noteren. De fans stonden ouderwets weer voor de deur van de Applestores om als eerste een van de nieuwe iPhone te bemachtigen. Kan dat de weg terug omhoog inzetten voor het bedrijf? Dat gaan we deze aflevering voor je uitzoeken. Verder hoef je niet meer op Italië te letten als je op zoek bent naar een Europese zondebok. Het land krijgt een upgrade van kredietbeoordelaar Fitch en met een begrotingstekort ver onder het Franse mag Giorgia Meloni trots zijn op haar huishoudboekje. Goed nieuws voor de banken in het land, die volgens Bob Homan van ING Investment Office nog best een ritje te maken hebben. Verder bespreken we de steeds vriendelijker beurswaakhond SEC die deze week meerdere keren de kop op stak. Wat betekent een toezichthouder die met bedrijfsbesturen knuffelt voor beleggers? En waar heb je meer aan: een waakhond, of een schoothondje? En we blikken terug op de week met de Chinese aanval op Nvidia, een teleurgestelde Mario Draghi, en de eerste renteverlaging van het jaar in de VS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time ever, French bond spreads are higher than those seen in Italy (both compared to Germany). This isn't just about "fiscal consolidation" worries and France's government budget, the real issue behind everything is economic differentials. Those need to be turned around and soon else France risks being the new, well, Italy. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons parler d'une décision importante : l'agence américaine Fitch a dégradé la note souveraine de la France, qui passe de AA- à A+. Mais qu'est-ce que cela signifie réellement et pourquoi cela arrive-t-il maintenant ?Le 12 septembre 2025, Fitch Ratings a annoncé cette révision à la baisse, tout en maintenant une perspective stable. Cette note n'est pas un simple détail technique : elle reflète la confiance des investisseurs dans la capacité d'un pays à rembourser sa dette. Plus la note est élevée, plus l'État peut emprunter à des taux intéressants. À l'inverse, une dégradation rend l'emprunt plus coûteux.Pourquoi Fitch a-t-elle pris cette décision ? Trois raisons principales. D'abord, la dette publique française reste très élevée, dépassant 110 % du PIB, et elle continue de croître. Ensuite, les déficits budgétaires persistent et la trajectoire de réduction annoncée par le gouvernement est jugée peu crédible. Enfin, le contexte politique complique les choses : majorité fragile, difficultés à faire passer des réformes, et instabilité institutionnelle qui pèse sur la confiance.Concrètement, quels impacts attendre ? D'abord, un coût de financement potentiellement plus élevé pour l'État français. Si les marchés estiment que le risque a augmenté, ils exigeront des taux d'intérêt plus importants pour prêter. Ensuite, une atteinte à l'image de la France : elle perd une marche dans l'échelle du « double A », ce qui peut envoyer un mauvais signal aux investisseurs internationaux. Enfin, une pression accrue sur le gouvernement. Le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu, nouvellement en poste, devra présenter un budget crédible et rétablir la confiance, dans un climat parlementaire déjà tendu.Et maintenant ? Trois leviers sont sur la table : réduire les dépenses publiques de manière plus significative, renforcer la crédibilité des trajectoires budgétaires avec des mesures concrètes, et enfin restaurer une stabilité politique qui rassure les marchés.En conclusion, cette décision de Fitch n'est pas une catastrophe immédiate, mais c'est un avertissement clair. Elle montre que la France ne peut pas continuer indéfiniment à accumuler dette et déficits sans conséquences. Pour le gouvernement, c'est un rappel à l'ordre : il faudra convaincre, réformer et rassurer, sous peine de voir les finances publiques se fragiliser encore davantage. Hébergé par Acast.

En el episodio de hoy, Eugenio Garibay y Juan Manuel De Los Reyes analizan el crecimiento económico global en base a indicadores recientes de diferentes países. Por un lado, China reporta crecimiento en ventas minoristas, producción industrial, e inversión en activos fijos menor a lo esperado. Sin embargo, aún con desaceleración, el crecimiento continúa siendo positivo, y es un reflejo de lo que vemos en diferentes países.  Por otro lado, Fitch le baja la calificación crediticia a Francia de AA- a A+ citando alto nivel de apalancamiento y déficit fiscal, así como inestabilidad política. Eugenio y Juan Manuel discuten las tendencias de crecimiento globales, el impacto en las empresas, y hacen la gran pregunta: ¿Quién será la potencia mundial en los próximos años?

Chinese manufacturing growth in August came in at its weakest for a year while retail sales slumped to a nine-month low. Fitch downgrades France's credit rating to A+ from AA- due to a rising debt ratio and political upheaval following the collapse of Francois Bayrou's government.

However, several large pharmaceutical companies are snubbing further investment in the UK following a falling out over drug pricing.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 9 septembre 2025 avec Agnès Verdier-Molinié, directrice de la fondation Ifrap, et autrice de "Face au mur", aux éditions de l'Observatoire.L'instabilité politique en France, renforcée par la chute du gouvernement Bayrou, risque d'assombrir les perspectives économiques du pays et de peser sur ses finances publiques, sous la menace d'une dégradation de sa note par l'agence Fitch vendredi. Déjà malmenée par la hausse des droits de douane américains et la censure du précédent gouvernement, l'économie française affronte une nouvelle fois l'écueil de la vacance du pouvoir. La croissance française s'est jusqu'ici montrée plutôt résiliente, confortant le ministère de l'Economie dans sa prévision d'une hausse annuelle de 0,7% du produit intérieur brut (PIB). Mais l'équation budgétaire est difficile, dans un paysage politique morcelé, alors que la France figure parmi les cancres européens en raison de l'ampleur de son déficit public (5,8% du PIB en 2024) et de son endettement (113,9% du PIB ou 3.345,4 milliards d'euros fin mars).C'est dans ce contexte délicat que Fitch pourrait faire basculer vendredi la note souveraine de la France du groupe AA ("qualité haute ou bonne") au groupe A ("qualité moyenne supérieure"). Bercy tente d'amadouer les agences en leur dressant le portrait d'une France aux fondamentaux économiques solides, et à la croissance qui résiste.Agnès Verdier-Molinié nous livrera son analyse de la situation économique du pays. Quelles pourraient être les conséquences de l'instabilité politique ? La France pourra-t-elle voter un budget et réaliser les économies de 120 milliards d'euros sur cinq ans attendues par la Commission européenne ? En ce jour de démission de François Bayrou, la France emprunte plus cher que l'Italie à dix ans. À quelle réaction s'attendre de la part des acteurs économiques ?

C dans l'air l'invité du 8 septembre 2025 avec Dominique ROUSSEAU, juriste et professeur de droit constitutionnel.En se soumettant à un vote de confiance ce lundi, le Premier ministre devrait entrainer la démission de son gouvernement. En arrivant à Matignon pour succéder à Michel Banier, le 13 décembre dernier, François Bayrou disait : « Je sais que les chances de difficultés sont beaucoup plus importantes que les chances de succès ». Neuf mois plus tard, son discours à la tribune de l'Assemblée nationale aujourd'hui devrait sonner comme un baroud d'honneur. L'ensemble des oppositions a en effet fait savoir qu'elle voterait contre la question de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale. La chute de François Bayrou devrait ouvrir une nouvelle période d'incertitude. Le projet de loi de finances doit être, théoriquement, examiné au Parlement à partir du 15 octobre pour une publication au « Journal officiel » au plus tard le 31 décembre. Et ce, alors que les taux d'intérêt de la dette française s'envolent et que l'agence de notation Fitch doit rendre son verdict le 12 septembre sur la note souveraine de la France. Les turbulences au sommet de l'État auront aussi un impact sur la rentrée sociale, déjà marquée par le mouvement « Bloquons tout » du 10 septembre et par la mobilisation intersyndicale du 18 septembre. Dans ce contexte, Emmanuel Macron se retrouve en première ligne. Dominique Rousseau nous donnera son analyse de la situation politique actuelle, et de ce que devrait faire le président de la République en cas de chute du gouvernement Bayrou. Il reviendra également avec nous sur la crise de régime qui inquiète les observateurs, et sur l'efficacité ou non des institutions de de la Vème République pour résoudre l'impasse politique dans laquelle la France pourrait être plongée.
