  • Lacks better insights and data

    High level, basic talk on topics. Often bring speakers that have little data to support claims. Far from SMEs.

  • Thank you

    This show has been very informative and interesting. I love the style with which the host welcomes listeners to delve deeper into various economic subjects with correspondents and experts. (Also, in my opinion, the recent episode relating to European defense spending was just the right length.)

  • Long form vs Short form

    In answer to the question … longer versions of Econ World or not: Please provide both (as required). The deep dives are well worth the time spent and the shorter versions work too. This is not an “or” decision, it is an “and” opportunity. Thanks for all this deep and valuable information. It is difficult to find information that one can trust … Reuters is a place where I “feel safe”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The price of war
Q: Andrew, how would you characterize the current trajectory of Russia's economy as we head into the summer and confront ongoing energy and inflationary pressures?
The picture is one of slow, steady deterioration rather than a sharp collapse; growth has cooled from the high, expansionary years of the war effort to a modest pace, with significant risk from energy disruptions and high borrowing costs, which keeps investment restrained.
The World Cup economy
Q: Why is there skepticism about economic benefits for host cities?
Economists generally agree there is limited or no significant net economic return from hosting the World Cup; costs such as stadiums and infrastructure often do not translate into long-term economic gains, while consumer spending shifts from other activities to attend the event.
The World Cup economy
Q: What is the single biggest economic shift the World Cup underwent?
Television broadcasting transformed the World Cup from a regional event into a global spectacle, enabling mass viewership, sponsorship, and global revenue streams that accelerated its financial growth.
Brexit: Is that it? – Live from London
Q: So where does this all leave us? Would Britain rejoin the EU in the next 25 years?
Both discussants acknowledge the possibility in theory but stress political and economic hurdles, public appetite, and the costs of rejoining.
Brexit: Is that it? – Live from London
Q: I mean, on that kind of international backdrop, that's also important too, isn't it, Rachel?
Rachel notes the shifting dynamics with Europe and the security backdrop, suggesting closer dialogue with European partners while acknowledging domestic political instability.
