  • Just discovered this gem

    ICMA has a sterling reputation for producing research on market structure. I was thrilled to see that they have a podcast for some of their reports. Finding the time to read all reports is impossible and this is a great way to listen to an overview of several reports in order to identify the reports that deserve intensive study.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICMA podcast special: Middle East Crisis (Part 3)
Q: How do geopolitical factors influence markets in the long term?
Max and Bob explain that long-run effects come from structural policy shifts, energy dependencies, and regional integration, while short-term shocks tend to fade; investors should distinguish between these to avoid overreacting to immediate headlines.
ICMA podcast special: Middle East Crisis (Part 1)
Q: So kicking off, first question, I'm going to ask Max Thimble. The conflict in Iran, what, in your opinion, are the current situations and scenarios that we should be aware of?
Max provides a base case of a relatively brief disruption with a rebound in energy flows, while outlining pessimistic and bull-case scenarios to account for longer or shorter escalations and their effects on oil prices, gas flows, and financial conditions.
ICMA Education & Training's I Building Green Bond Markets - IFC Technical Assistance in Action (Part2)
Q: How do you see education and training playing a part in scaling sustainable finance markets, particularly in Africa and other emerging regions?
Education is foundational but must be localized and trainer-focused; training should target decision-makers at banks and issuers, while universities should co-create regionally relevant programs, with a strong emphasis on applying knowledge through real-case studies and peer learning.
ICMA Education & Training's I Building Green Bond Markets - IFC Technical Assistance in Action (Part2)
Q: So, what lessons did you learn from the GPTAP that might have an impact on how IFC approached capacity building around sustainable finance in the future?
The lesson is that collaboration and broad participation amplify impact: evaluating programs, engaging universities and regional partners, and building demand through targeted technical assistance all help scale up green, social, and sustainable bond markets.
AMIC Market update: ICMA Asset Management & Investors council
Q: Are investors getting too optimistic at exactly the wrong time?
Max argued that investor optimism is justified given the resilience of the economy, while also highlighting caution in gold investments as insurance against potential risks.
