Podcasts about international investment

In this high-impact broadcast, the hosts dissect Donald Trump's bold international moves as he attempts to reassert America's dominance on the global stage. From a trillion-dollar investment deal with Saudi Arabia to confronting the fallout from Biden's foreign policy, the conversation lays bare the stakes of U.S. diplomacy and economic survival. The show explores the dramatic shift in global alliances, the looming threat of BRICS nations undermining the U.S. dollar, and Trump's controversial negotiations with questionable Middle Eastern actors to protect American interests. Meanwhile, at home, the dialogue turns sharply toward domestic politics, highlighting rising public confidence in Trump, Democratic Party infighting, and a cultural shift toward praising American values. With sharp critiques of both parties and an unflinching look at geopolitical realignment, this episode offers an eye-opening narrative of economic necessity, strategic compromise, and the fight to keep America leading—not lagging—in a rapidly changing world.

Donald Trump's tariffs continue to loom over the film industry. The New Zealand Film Commission is embarking on an international trade mission of its own. The team is headed to India, the UK, and France to look for new investment partnerships and international productions. Chief Executive Annie Murray told Mike Hosking co-production is on the rise, despite the tariffs. He says there's a lot of business happening and they're looking ahead to Cannes, where they'll conduct more meetings to grow the industry.

Well, here we go and welcome to International Investment day. I found it somewhat bewildering, if not sad, that Ginny Andersen on this show yesterday said foreign investment wasn't the answer to our problems. Because, actually, it is. What we don't have as a country is size and scale. If we want to participate in the world, we need the world involved in what we do. We are not like America where you can, at least partially, pretend that you can produce everything you need locally and whatever it is you do produce is sold to a local market. In fact, Ginny's lack of basic economic understanding may well give some insight into why we are having the event we are over the next two days. Labour's view of the economy is so small and insular. It is why the borders were closed for so long, why tourism has not bounced back, why the world has moved on without us and why this new Government has had to travel so many miles to knock on so many doors, saying "don't forget about us". It could also be a clue, if you have noticed, as to why they are currently exercised in Parliament over the idea of the public health system using the private health system to churn through some elective procedures. Forgetting of course that even they did the same thing and that it has in fact been common practice for ever, and if you have a bed and a team sitting there with capacity, do you really care whether the place you get the knee done is public or private? Anyway, the Prime Minister will be relishing this next week, given he is pitching not just here but India as well and will be able to get back to doing what, by all reports, he does best - hustle and sell. The polls might be problematic for a variety of reasons, but you can't possibly mark this lot down for not getting out into the world and re-engaging both trade and foreign policy-wise. Between the Prime Minister, Winston Peters and Todd McClay, many circuits of the globe will have been completed. He is also right that the world is awash with cash looking for a place to land. We once were that place to land. We were once that rock star economy. We once had our act together. Today and tomorrow, hopefully, is about restoring our rightful place as progressive go getters.

In this episode of Critical Thinking, Jo Holden, Global Head of Investment Research and Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Leslie Maasdorp, CEO at British International Investment (BII) and Matt Robinson, Head of Private Capital Mobilisation at BII, to explore the world of development finance institutions (DFIs), capital mobilisation, and how DFIs can open up new investment opportunities for institutional investors in emerging markets and developing markets (EMDEs).Investment flows into EMDEs remain far below the levels needed to support development and combat climate change. The Independent High-Level Expert Group (IHLEG) on Climate Finance estimates that these countries, excluding China, will require $1 trillion annually by 2030, rising to $1.3 trillion by 2035. While these regions offer diversification benefits and strong impact potential, global investors often perceive them as too high risk, with current flows only just surpassing $100 billion annually. Bridging this gap will require a strategic blend of public and private investment.Key takeaways include:What is meant by mobilisation and why it matters: Mobilisation refers to attracting and effectively deploying private capital alongside DFIs to increase investment in markets that typically do not meet institutional investors' risk/return profiles. Mobilisation is essential in scaling climate action within EMDEs, where climate change effects are most severe. This need for partnership was underscored by the UK Prime Minister's announcement of a £100 million Mobilisation Facility, managed by BII, to facilitate private investment in EMDEs. With EDME's expected to play a crucial role in global economic growth, investing in these markets creates investment opportunities for growth, diversification and impact.How this facility addresses some of the challenges investors face when considering investment in these markets: As BII's first concessional mandate that offers derisking opportunity for third-party investors, the facility plays a critical role in bridging the 'relative value gap' between institutional investors' risk appetite and the risk profile of BII's portfolio. By offering significant risk mitigation, it encourages greater investor participation-essential for achieving climate impact at scale. A key feature of the facility is its high-risk tolerance- with BII's capital able to absorb potential capital erosion, reducing downside risks for institutional investors.The type of risks that this facility will help mitigate and the investments this will open up to institutional investors: BII will accept below-market returns to boost private investor returns or provide credit enhancements through guarantees or insurance, helping to de-risk investments without distorting the underlying market. This will enable institutional investors to test, seed, and scale climate-focused technologies, businesses, and investment strategies with transformational impact across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.This content is for institutional investors and for information purposes only.

The Prime Minister says he will bring the Opposition leader on board to hammer out a plan for infrastructure.  The Government is promoting a message of bipartisanship as it sets its sights on designing a 30-year pipeline for delivering major projects.  Christopher Luxon and his Transport, Infrastructure, and Housing Ministers visited New South Wales last month to learn from Australia's productivity.   Newstalk ZB's Kerre Woodham pushed Luxon on why he didn't take Labour leader Chris Hipkins if he's trying to build consensus.   He says they have already reached out to other parties to make it clear the coalition wants to work in a bipartisan way.  When it comes to the coalition itself, Luxon insists he's leading a stable coalition, and works well with both partners.   That's despite the controversial Treaty Principles Bill coming up in this week's Cabinet meeting, and a paper unveiling Act's David Seymour's proposed principles.   Luxon's adamant he won't support the Bill past first reading and has admitted this was the issue that stalled coalition negotiations.   Luxon told Kerre the three parties are very different.  But he says he's very proud of the way he works with both Seymour and Winston Peters.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, host Tony Lopes interviews Darin Tuttle, the chief investment officer of Tuttle Ventures, about various investment topics. They discuss the bond market, the role of the Federal Reserve in setting interest rates, the manipulation of the economy, international investment opportunities, and toxic investments to avoid. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding timing and cash flows when making investment decisions. Overall, the episode provides valuable insights for listeners looking to navigate the current economic landscape. Takeaways The bond market is experiencing an inverted yield curve, with shorter-term bonds offering higher yields than longer-term bonds. The Federal Reserve plays a significant role in setting interest rates and controlling inflation. The economy is heavily manipulated, and government interventions can distort market dynamics. International Investment opportunities are promising due to the growth potential and favorable demographics. Investors should be cautious of toxic investments that lack stability and accurate pricing.

Embark on an enlightening voyage with Graeme and Leanne Carling, a dynamic duo whose story transforms the way we perceive real estate investment and partnership. Their ascension from local investors in the rugged terrain of Scotland to commanding a global empire is not just a tale of financial triumph but one of profound personal connection. Throughout this episode, we traverse the intricacies of their journey, uncovering the bedrock of continuous financial education that has propelled them into the marketplaces of the US, Dubai, and Spain. The Carlings' remarkable synergy, which has masterfully balanced a thriving family life with their ambitious entrepreneurial spirit, serves as an inspiration to couples and business partners alike.This dialogue is more than a mere exploration of property acquisition; it's a testament to the transformative impact of financial literacy and mentorship. My own metamorphosis from a novice to a savvy real estate enthusiast, fueled by the guiding principles of the Rich Dad series, epitomizes the power of applied knowledge. We delve into the strategies that have enabled both myself and the Carlings to navigate the tides of global markets, emphasizing the importance of setting precise goals and building a robust network that transcends borders. In this conversation, we lay bare the philosophy that education and the right mentorship is not just an investment but the most potent arsenal in one's financial toolkit, especially when facing the ebbs and flows of economic volatility.Concluding our session, we span the globe to the sun-soaked sands of Dubai, where the Carling family's ventures serve as a masterclass in the art of diversification. From real estate to clean energy, we dissect their experiences with the challenges and triumphs of global entrepreneurship. The wisdom gleaned from early failures, the pivotal role of cash flow, and the pursuit of sectors ripe for innovation - these are the threads woven through the tapestry of their success. As we ponder the enduring principles of growth and leverage, we address the ever-evolving concept of financial freedom, recognizing it not as a static destination but a journey marked by resilience, adaptability, and the audacity to dream big. Join us for this comprehensive discourse that doesn't just chart a course but sets the sails for a voyage towards enduring prosperity.Website: https://www.thecarlinggroup.com/Graeme Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/graeme-carling/Leanne Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leanne-carling/ To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

We're setting our sights on the commodity sector today as we speak to a Singapore-headquartered international commodity trading house. Founded in 2007 as a company facilitating trade flows from Africa to Asia, Valency International has since established a sizable global presence with offices and operations in 22 countries and a workforce of over 2,600 people.  The firm's global footprint now extends to 21 product categories including agricultural commodities and FMCG products the likes of cashews, almonds, pulses and beans, sesame, cumin, soybean, rice and corn.  Outside of edibles, its portfolio includes steel, paper and industrial chemicals. But what is the most important product vertical for Valency International and what implications will this have in terms of the geographical markets Valency wants to deepen its presence in? Meanwhile, Valency International recently made the news after UK's development finance institution British International Investment (BII) invested US$15 million in it to fund the firm's expansion of cashew processing in Nigeria.  But what opportunities does it see in cashew processing in Nigeria and what is the strategic value behind having BII invest in the firm?   On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Sumit Jain, CEO, Valency International.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are calls for a cluster of international investment scams to come under scrutiny.   Financial expert Janine Starks wants a banking ombudsman to launch an investigation after accusing banks of corporate failure.  She says there's systemic failures with foreign scams estimated to be stealing up to $200 million a year from New Zealanders.  Massey University banking expert Claire Matthews told Kate Hawkesby that it's difficult to know what an investigation might show.   She says it may reveal banks are doing everything they can, or it may show there are things they could be doing better.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lecture Summary: The survival of our planet requires swift and targeted climate policies to adapt, mitigate and repair. Scientists and political elites acknowledge the urgency to reduce our reliance on coal and fossil fuels to achieve the necessary reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Academics have been studying the impacts of investment treaty protections on climate action and argued that investment treaties raise the cost of climate action, financially and via regulatory chill and limit their ability to combat climate change. There also have been instances where investment treaties protected investors in the renewable energy sector leading to the argument that international investment law can support transition to renewable energy. This lecture will reflect on the compatibility of states’ existing investment treaty obligations with their climate obligations. It will consider the consequences of investment law’s distaste of local politics, stakeholder participation and public protest, which are essential to the realization of the right to a healthy environment, climate policy-making, and more broadly to democratic governance. Anil is a Senior Lecturer at Essex Law School and a co-director of the Essex Business and Human Rights Project. Her research interests are in the fields of international investment law and business and human rights. Her research bridges the gap between corporate law, international investment law, human rights law, and tort law, examining how these areas can and should interact to operationalise human rights standards in the modern business context. She has published works on parent-subsidiary relationships in the business and human rights context, non-financial reporting, duty of care in supply chain relationships, human rights in investment contracts and the embedded inequalities in the investment treaty regime. She is the author of The Nationality of Corporate Investors under International Investment Law (2020, Hart Publishing), a member of the IEL Collective’s steering committee and a member of Teaching Business and Human Rights Forum’s governance committee.

In this episode of the SALT Shaker Podcast policy series, host and Eversheds Sutherland Partner Nikki Dobay is joined again by Meredith Beeson, Director of State Government Affairs with the Global Business Alliance (formerly known as the Organization for International Investment) in Washington, DC. During this conversation, they discuss state tax haven provisions, which seemed to be a dying policy. With Colorado's recent passage of tax haven legislation earlier this year, however, Nikki and Meredith talk about the history and why these provisions are of concern to the Global Business Alliance as well as the tax policy reasons these provisions should be rejected. They wrap up with Nikki's surprise nontax question – are you a “Vegas person”? The Eversheds Sutherland State and Local Tax team has been engaged in state tax policy work for years, tracking tax legislation, helping clients gauge the impact of various proposals, drafting talking points and rewriting legislation. This series, which is focused on state and local tax policy issues, is hosted by Partner Nikki Dobay, who has an extensive background in tax policy. Questions or comments?

Youtube: [tbd] Original youtube: https://youtu.be/HSIIzKGk_aw From her shownotes: COPYRIGHT & SATOSHI'S LEGACY WITH STEPHAN KINSELLA OF THE OPEN CRYPTO ALLIANCE On June 29, 2021, a UK court found that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is the proper copyright owner of the Bitcoin Whitepaper, awarding initial damages in excess of $48,000 to Wright and demanding that Bitcoin.org remove the Whitepaper from its site. Guest Stephan Kinsella of the Open Crypto Alliance joins Tatiana today to talk about the decision and why it reveals all the most troubling problems with the government-run patent, trademark & copyright system.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 345. This was my talk delivered today (June 26, 2021) at PorcFest 2021: "Kinsella's Libertarian “Constitution,” or: State Constitutions vs. the Libertarian Private Law Code." The notes that I roughly followed are below; pix also below. Transcript below.

Below is the original with passable audio https://youtu.be/6qzJXBWLhTA The description from the PorcFest website (which will probably disappear at some time in the future): Kinsella's Libertarian “Constitution” —————– When: Sat, 12:00P _(60m) Speaker: Stephan Kinsella {Website} {Pic}, An American intellectual property attorney and Austro-anarcho-libertarian writer and speaker for 25 years. He has spoken, lectured and published widely on various areas of libertarian legal theory such as rights theory, anarchism, contract theory, intellectual property, and on legal topics such as intellectual property law and international law. His legal works include International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (Oxford University Press, 2020) and Louisiana Civil Law Dictionary (Quid Pro Books, 2011); his libertarian writing includes Against Intellectual Property (Mises Institute 2008) and the forthcoming Law in a Libertarian World (Papinian Press, 2021). Forthcoming works include Copy This Book: The Case for Abolishing Intellectual Property (2022), and a systematic, codified statement of libertarian principles as an alternative to constitutions and committee-prepared political platforms. For Whom: Constitutionalists; secessionists; Federal reformers; decentralists; polycentrists; anarcho-capitalists. Description: State constitutions, including the US Constitution, are not libertarian. The purpose of the US Constitution was to establish a new, powerful, central state, not to protect individual rights. Efforts to draft “libertarian constitutions” are also often flawed, as when they presuppose and legitimate a state or a territory owned by a single owner (Liberland). Does the idea of a “libertarian constitution” make sense? What kind of codification or statement of libertarian principles is appropriate? {More} Where: Anth: Anthem Theater, OfficeBld   ❧ TRANSCRIPT Kinsella's Libertarian “Constitution” or: State Constitutions vs. the Libertarian Private Law Code Stephan Kinsella PorcFest 2021, Lancaster NH June 26, 2021 00:00:01 W: … published by the Mises Institute in 2008 and the forthcoming Law and the Libertarian World.  So Stephan, I'll let you take it away about state constitutions. 00:00:10 STEPHAN KINSELLA: Okay.  Thanks a lot.  If you can't hear me, let me know.  I have no mic.  I speak kind of loud and kind of fast even though… 00:00:17 W: If we need to turn it up we can, so let us know. 00:00:19 STEPHAN KINSELLA: All right, so my talk is – I'll explain the title as we get into this: Kinsella's Libertarian “Constitution.”  So I prepared a libertarian constitution, and I hope to cover as much of its 18 parts and 45 pages as possible in this next hour.  So part one, section A, subsection 1: definitions.  I'm just joking.  I'm not going to read my constitution.  I haven't even finished writing it yet.  I read this to my wife and she said, Is this what you geeks think is funny?  I said we'll see.  I said half the people in the audience might be relieved, but the other half might be, damn, I really wanted to hear a libertarian constitution read to me point by point. 00:01:03 I'm going to talk about the idea of constitutions and libertarianism and whether the whole idea makes sense at all.  So I've been a libertarian since about 1982, and I've seen so many libertarian – utopian libertarian project...

Lecture summary: The talk will focus on India's journey towards international investment law. India's approach towards international investment law has changed considerably over the years. For the first four decades after independence, India did not sign any bilateral investment treaty (BIT) - the most important source of international investment law - because it followed an import substitution industrialization model. Things changed in the early 1990s, when India embraced economic globalisation and adopted a welcoming attitude towards foreign investment. Consequently, India started signing BITs. From 2011 onward, India's BITs programme has entered a phase of 'backlash' as a consequence of being sued by many foreign investors before ISDS tribunals, India's outlook towards BITs has undergone a change. India unilaterally terminated its BITs and adopted a deeply protectionist Model BIT. Dr Prabhash Ranjan is a Senior Assistant Professor of Law at the South Asian University, New Delhi, India. He holds a PhD in law from King's College London and is the author of the book, 'India and Bilateral Investment Treaties: Refusal, Acceptance, Backlash' published by OUP in 2019.
