  • One of the best global business and markets podcasts around

    This is a great podcast to listen to and get informed views and opinions on what themes are impacting global business and markets. Peter is a knowledgeable host and probes and listens in equal measure. The most recent episode with Dr Stephan Leithner of Deutsche Borse is a fantastic listen. Highly recommend.

  • Good content horrible sound quality

    The content is good but the production quality is soooo bad. Guest microphone quality is inconsistent, volume levels of the speakers are inconsistent and vary throughout the episode. Reuters daily news shows they know how to do sound production, they need to allocate resources here.

  • Probably, the best podcast on global politics and eceonomics

    Opposite its many counterparts, The Exchange isn’t overproduced nor does it feel tightly controlled by a large staff of producers. It’s simply in-debt interviews with some of the smartest, most interesting, and well-selected candidates regarding the given subjects.

    Listening to The Exchange isn’t pleasant because of smooth crossovers, jingles or trying-to-be smooth ambient music, but, merely, as it contains unparalleled content in a rough and direct manner; conversations between the right inter... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why battling climate change can be good for growth
Q: How should we balance market forces with government intervention to accelerate this transition?
Start with what needs to be done scientifically, then create policy conditions that mobilize private finance for the long term, including carbon pricing, R&D support, and reliable investment horizons beyond the usual political cycles.
Why battling climate change can be good for growth
Q: What would you point to as evidence that investments in climate action lead to growth?
Evidence across different regions shows that emissions can fall while the economy grows, and that investments in clean energy, storage, and modernized infrastructure yield strong returns and productivity gains; policy and market frameworks further enable private sector investment.
How a French building giant tackled fragmentation
Q: What about the US—how do you navigate geopolitics and market access there?
The approach focuses on need-based infrastructure across states, building resilience against climate events, and leveraging a strong local leadership team to execute quickly and effectively.
How a French building giant tackled fragmentation
Q: Is it hard for someone who's grown up inside the company to push through the required changes?
Yes, but with courage and the ability to read what's coming, you can identify strengths to capitalize on and weaknesses to correct, and trusted local leaders help the transformation gain buy-in.
How a French building giant tackled fragmentation
Q: Did you sort of see it coming then, do you think you anticipated it?
I would say yes, though perhaps not as brutal as it is now; the trend toward deglobalization was there, and we adapted by making the organization more local and flexible while maintaining a global footprint.
