What do the latest PISA results reveal about the skills of Slovak students? The OECD's 2025 assessment points to some stabilisation, but also persistent challenges in reading, mathematics and inequalities linked to students' backgrounds. Slovakia's Education Minister Tomáš Drucker discusses the results, the impact of the digital world and how ongoing education reforms aim to respond. Extreme heat is becoming an economic challenge for Slovak businesses, affecting productivity, revenues and the everyday operation of companies. Looking back at the summer of 2026, Vladimir Otrachshenko from the National Bank of Slovakia explains which sectors are most vulnerable to rising temperatures and why investing in adaptation could help firms reduce future losses.

Episode 597: Bill Charles - 31 years in racing administration, and 17 years as Bart Cummings' right hand man.

Had Billy Charles elected to stay in his very first job with the National Bank he would have soon been up to his knees in carpet in the CEO's office. But, as much as he enjoyed the challenge the eighteen year old couldn't shake the unrelenting urge to seek employment in the racing industry. He broke every record getting to Elizabeth St in the city when the progressive Sydney Turf Club advertised for a clerk in the racing office. Bill landed the job, and for the next seven years earned recognition as a burgeoning talent.  His journey through to 1996 brought him into great repute as a versatile administrator in Australia and overseas. He opted for a change of direction in that year when Bart Cummings “head-hunted” the 49 year old for the role of Leilani Lodge Racing Manager. He was destined to stay with the maestro for 17 years. Bill is now semi-retired but continues to assist behind the scenes for high profile trainers John Thompson and Matthew Smith. His journey in the racing game makes for a very interesting podcast chat. He begins by talking about his current association with John Thompson and Matthew Smith. Bill  says he's a regular visitor to the Thompson stable with a big supply of carrots. He talks of Matthew Smith's brilliant sprinter Headwall who's chasing a long overdue Gr 1 success.  Bill takes us right back to the late 1950's when his dad William Snr regularly took him to Sydney metropolitan meetings. He says one particular race at Randwick sparked his fascination with the racing game. He looks back on his first job with the Castle Hill branch of the National Bank. His heart wasn't in it. Bill remembers the day his father informed him of a job opportunity with the Sydney Turf Club.  He looks back on the duties assigned to him at the Elizabeth St headquarters of Sydney's second race club. In 1970 the opportunity to widen his racing knowledge attracted him to a role with the Australian Jockey Club. He gained the job and stayed for seven rewarding years. During that time he was invited to put forward suggestions for the naming of a brand new sprint race introduced by the AJC Committee. Bill's recommendation gained the nod of approval.  Bill talks about his passion for memorising pedigrees and racing colours during his years as an administrator. He was both surprised and chuffed in late 1977 to be offered a role on the administration team put together to introduce horse racing in Tehran. He was exactly the right age to be taking on this kind of challenge. Bill acknowledges some of the fellow Australians who were involved in the launch of racing on the new Farahabad dirt circuit. They included a high profile Adelaide racing writer and a former champion Victorian jumps jockey.  He remembers the big representation of Aussie jockeys who were prepared to try their luck in the Middle East. The supreme highlight of Bill's eight months in Tehran was his marriage to Barbara at the Australian Embassy. He looks back on a wonderful occasion. Bill says he left Iran immediately after the first race meeting was staged. He says the signs of impending trouble in the region were already evident. The racing experiment in Iran didn't work. It folded after just eighteen months. The track's all gone now. The experienced racing aficionado says he was approached by the AJC immediately after arriving home. He grabbed the opportunity and stayed for eleven years. Halfway through he was promoted to an executive role. Bill says his itchy feet returned in 1989. He felt due for a change at the precise time an offer turned up from the Macau Jockey Club. The former banker embarked on another exciting adventure. On returning to Australia he was offered a job by the Queensland Principal Club supervising licenced persons in the state.  Back in Sydney a new offer came from an unexpected source. Bill says he was offered the role of Secretary Manager of the Greyhound Breeders Owners And Trainers Association. He decided to take on a brand new challenge. May 1995 saw Charles go to work for well known owner, breeder and punter John Poletti. He says his timing was astray on this occasion. Poletti hit a financial hurdle just three months later forcing the abandonment of his racing interests.  One door closed and another one opened. Bill says Bart Cummings was making overtures to him before the Poletti operation wound down.    His association with Leilani Lodge was destined to last for 17 years. He says his duties were many and varied. Bill looks back on Bart's attributes as a horseman and his well known penchant for a “one liner.”  Bill pays tribute to his personal favourites on the Cummings team. He pays special tribute to a former racing administrator who taught him many tricks of the trade. Bill Charles has worn many hats in his six decades in racing at home and overseas. Great to have him share his reminiscences with us.

Blurb:   Daniel Tucker interviews Georgia Kotretsos about her work with the ΤΗΕ ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY which is conceived of as a Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium with projects throughout Greece and beyond. This interview was conducted at the Twenty-First International Conference on the Arts in Society conference "Modeling Life Systems: Art, Algorithms, Ecologies" at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.    Bio: Georgia Kotretsos is a visual artist, researcher, the founder of the nonprofit organization THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY, Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium, in Athens, Greece and the publisher of TTS Press, which operates in the field of cultural studies and art research in Greece, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. TTS focuses on the Greek periphery, the islands, and remote areas. It creates interdisciplinary teams tailored for each project, working collaboratively on site-specific intangible projects that uncover the unique aspects of each locale. TTS publications are available at the following bookstores: Politeia, Ianos, Museum of Cycladic Art, Iambos, Pixel,and Public (online). Through these endeavors, THE TEΛΟΣ SOCIETY highlights the importance of contemporary art and cultural heritage while fostering new creative perspectives and audiences. She holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (USA, 2004), where she studied on a full merit-based scholarship, and a BFA from the Durban Institute of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2000), where she relocated as a teenager during the country's post-apartheid transition. Her work systematically critiques conventional theoretical positions on viewing and perceiving artworks, seeking—through liberatory and anarchic visual practices—to reveal that the experience of viewing is site-specific, and that the emancipation of the viewer is a crucial source of artistic knowledge. Her research-based approach—whether in the form of artwork, text, or interview—resists traditional forms and historical modes of acquiring knowledge, proposing alternative methodologies for its creation and reception. Her work has been presented both in Greece and internationally, including at the Onassis Art Center and the Asia Society in New York, the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Tinguely Museum (Basel), La Kunsthalle (Mulhouse), the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki), and the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis. She has held seven solo exhibitions and participated in numerous significant international initiatives, including the 56th Venice Biennale, MediaImpact in Moscow, and FIELD MEETING in New York. From 2006 to 2010, she co-founded the independent art space Boots Contemporary Art Space in St. Louis, USA—an alternative contemporary art laboratory—and served as editor-in-chief of BootPrint, a biannual journal by and for artists. From 2009 to 2013, she served as a columnist for Art21 Magazine of PBS Arts Feature in New York, with her column Inside the Artist's Studio. In 2014, her writing was also published on LABKULTUR.TV in Germany. In 2019, Kotretsos published a report on the arts in Greece reflecting on the decade of recession 2008-18 entitled "Athens is the Only Cave in the World that has a Skylight" for the Field Journal in the US.  Her works are held in private collections, including the National Bank of Greece, the Mamidakis Foundation, and others.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest earnings from major U.S. retailers, Canadian banks, and one beaten-down software company. We start with Walmart and Target, where the results show that the consumer may be starting to feel more pressure. Walmart continues to perform well overall, but its comparable sales growth slowed sharply, and management noted that higher gas prices are changing consumer behaviour. Target showed stronger comparable sales than expected, but both retailers are leaning on price cuts and grocery strength as discretionary spending remains under pressure. We then turn to Canadian bank earnings, including Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank and National Bank. We discuss provisions for credit losses, improving margins, strong capital markets results, wealth management growth, and why the banks continue to deliver despite concerns about the Canadian economy. Finally, we look at Intuit after its latest earnings, including the pressure facing TurboTax and Mailchimp, the continued strength of QuickBooks, and whether AI and pricing pressure are starting to disrupt parts of the business.

Im Oktober 1929 kommt's an der Wall Street in New York zum grossen Crash. Bald folgt eine wirtschaftliche Krise, die grosse Depression, die weltweit spürbar ist – auch in der Schweiz, verspätet zwar aber härter als andere Länder. Anfangs kann die durch die starke Nachfrage nach Wohnungen gut ausgelastete Bauwirtschaft die Auswirkungen der Weltwirtschaftskrise auf die Schweiz abdämpfen. Zwei Jahre nach dem Crash in New York, stehen dann aber auch in Bern, die Zeichen auf Krise. Vor allem die Schweizer Exportindustrie aber auch der Finanzplatz leiden, die Arbeitslosigkeit steigt und Armut macht sich breit. Zwar ist in der Schweiz nie ein so grosser Teil der Bevölkerung ohne Stelle, wie in anderen Ländern, aber die Arbeitslosigkeit hält sich hartnäckig. Während Länder wie die USA die Nachfrage ankurbeln und die Krise vergleichsweise schnell überwinden, reagiert die politische Schweiz zuerst mit rigiden Sparmassnahmen und sie wertet den Franken lange nicht ab. Erst allmählich setzt auch hierzulande der Staat auf Arbeitsbeschaffungsmassnahmen. 1936 gibt die Nationalbank mit der Abwertung des Frankens der Exportindustrie Schub. In dieser Episode von SRF Geschichte treffen wir den Historiker Bernard Degen im Amt für Wirtschaft und Arbeit an der Utengasse in Basel, einem Gebäude, dass 1932 eröffnet wurde, um der wachsenden Zahl von Stellensuchenden Unterstützung zu bieten. Dort fragen wir, warum es die Schweiz später aber härter trifft als andere Länder, was die Weltwirtschaftskrise in der Schweiz auslöst und was bis heute davon sicht- und spürbar ist. ____________________ Hast du Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

In this episode of Compliance Champions, Delphine Forma, Head of Policy Europe and APAC at Solidus Labs, speaks with Dr. Vin Pheakdey, Deputy Director General and Chair of the FinTech Working Group at the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia.They explore how Cambodia has transformed its approach to digital assets — from restricting unlicensed crypto activity in 2018 to establishing a formal, dual-authority licensing framework under SERC and the National Bank of Cambodia. Dr. Vin walks through the architecture of Prakas 093, which classifies digital assets as financial instruments and securities, and explains what firms need to demonstrate to navigate the sandbox process and secure a full licence. He also shares the most common gaps SERC sees in applications — practical intelligence for any firm considering the Cambodian market.The conversation also explores the realities of supervising a borderless market. Dr. Vin shares why offshore unregulated platforms remain one of the biggest challenges facing regulators, why international cooperation and information sharing are indispensable, and how Cambodia is embedding market integrity into its framework through transaction monitoring, trade surveillance, RegTech, SupTech and direct supervisory access to transaction data.They also discuss Project Bakong — Cambodia's blockchain-based digital payment system with over 65% population penetration — and how its success has shaped the country's confidence and approach to broader digital asset regulation.Rounding out the episode: Cambodia's international engagement strategy including its bilateral meeting with the U.S. SEC, lessons learned for other emerging market regulators, and a preview of the joint NBC-SERC guideline on digital asset supervision currently in development.A sharp, forward-looking conversation offering a rare regulator-side view into how emerging markets are building digital asset frameworks — and why Cambodia's approach deserves more attention than it gets.

The Franciscan Church in Bratislava is the city's oldest preserved church that has remained in continuous use to this day. Its history is inseparably linked with the history of Bratislava and the former Kingdom of Hungary. In this programme, we explore its rich past, the major historical events associated with it, and the life of the Franciscan community, which has been present here for nearly eight centuries. As part of our economic series Young Money, produced in cooperation with the National Bank of Slovakia, this episode explores the future of euro banknotes. Why is the European Central Bank redesigning them after more than twenty years? What themes are being considered, how can the public take part in the selection process, and what will the new banknotes mean for Europeans? We discuss the reasons behind the redesign, the role of security features, and the future of cash in an increasingly digital world.

Interview with Drew Clark, President and CEO, Summit RoyaltiesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/summit-royalties-tsxvsum-targets-15m-revenue-run-rate-with-new-gold-streams-by-2028-10897Recording date: 28th July 2026Summit Royalties has added a new financing tool to a growth strategy that, until now, has relied almost entirely on equity. On July 27, the company announced a credit agreement with National Bank of Canada for a revolving facility with an initial US$25 million commitment, alongside an accordion feature providing for an additional US$25 million on the same terms — for total potential availability of US$50 million. The facility carries a three-year initial tenor, interest priced off SOFR or CORRA plus a leverage-dependent spread of 2.50% to 4.00%, and standard covenants including net leverage, interest coverage, and minimum liquidity requirements.Speaking to Crux Investor's Matt Gordon the day after the announcement, President and CEO Drew Clark was direct about what the debt is for and, just as importantly, what it isn't for. Summit's stated discipline is to use debt only against assets that will generate cash flow within three to five years — a narrower standard than the one that has applied to some of Summit's equity-funded acquisitions, including its recently closed purchase of Star Royalties, which added the Copperstone gold stream in Arizona to Summit's portfolio.Clark also used the interview to correct an earlier public framing of Summit's acquisition discipline. He clarified that roughly $250 million worth of transactions were rejected because Summit's own bids came in below sellers' clearing prices — for example, bidding $65 million on an asset that ultimately cleared at $80 million — rather than Summit walking away from opportunities that met its criteria. It's a useful clarification for investors trying to gauge how aggressively management is actually competing for assets versus how selectively it is declining them.On current market conditions, Clark described deal-making as comparatively easier than during the recent gold price peak, since the gap between long-term and spot pricing has narrowed. He flagged tungsten streams as a specific area of emerging opportunity alongside Summit's core precious metals focus, and noted that Summit is evaluating opportunities as both an acquirer and a potential acquisition target within the sector's ongoing consolidation.The most concrete disclosure for investors may be management's own valuation framework. Clark said the internal belief is that once Summit's revenue reaches somewhere between $20 million and $30 million annually, the company should re-rate toward 1 to 1.2 times NAV — in line with royalty peers — and toward 15-20 times revenue, versus a current multiple he characterised as below 10 times and a NAV multiple around 0.6 times. Management continues to target a production run rate of roughly 4,000 gold-equivalent ounces by the end of 2028 as the operational catalyst behind that thesis.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/summit-royaltiesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

ne of the greatest advantages of a Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401(k) is the ability to invest in real estate. But what happens when your retirement account doesn't have enough cash to purchase a property outright? That's where non-recourse financing comes in.While many retirement investors have heard the term, few fully understand how non-recourse loans work, why they're required for retirement accounts, or how they can be used to leverage investment opportunities while staying compliant with IRS rules.To help answer those questions, I'm excited to be joined today by Avram Shabanyan, Vice President of Solera National Bank, one of the nation's leading lenders specializing in non-recourse financing for Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s. Avram has helped retirement investors across the country finance investment properties and has a wealth of experience navigating the unique lending requirements that apply to retirement accounts.In today's conversation, we'll discuss what makes a loan "non-recourse," how these loans differ from traditional mortgages, the types of properties that qualify, current lending trends, underwriting expectations, and the common mistakes investors should avoid. We'll also touch on important considerations such as Unrelated Debt-Financed Income (UDFI) and how investors can prepare their retirement accounts for a successful financing transaction.Whether you're considering your very first retirement real estate investment or you're looking to grow an existing portfolio, this episode will provide practical insights to help you better understand one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—tools available to Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) investors.So let's get started. Please join me in welcoming Avram Shabanyan from Solera National Bank.

Johanna Calle was born in 1965 in Bogotá, where she lives and works. Following her studies in the visual arts at the Talleres Artísticos of the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá from 1984 to 1989, Calle received a British Council scholarship in 1992 to earn a master's degree at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. Her work draws on a range of archival and deciphering techniques, often associated with everyday life, to address the violence of recent Colombian history and evoke the victims of forced disappearances.

How should a central bank respond to energy shocks? Will high oil and gas prices bolster the uptake of renewables? And what is the true cost of net zero 2050? This week on Cleaning Up, host Michael Liebreich sits down with Pierre Wunsch, Governor of the National Bank of Belgium and member of the European Central Bank's governing council, for a candid, behind-the-scenes discussion about how central banks should and can respond to inflation, energy volatility, and climate transition. From the recent surge in oil and gas prices to the lessons learned from post-COVID inflation, Wunsch explains why central banks may have “got it wrong” during the Russia-Ukraine energy shock, and how they're rethinking their response to supply shocks. Michael and Pierre dive into: The costs of net zero, and why a one-size fits all approach to decarbonisation isn't working. Whether European economies can absorb the costs transition without losing competitiveness Why “transitory inflation” didn't stay transitory during the Russia-Ukraine war The risk of political backlash and policy instability Why industry, not households, is the hardest part of decarbonisation for Europe The gap between climate ambition and credible policy tools.
