  • 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.

The silver lining in Europe’s dark economic clouds
Q: How do you put a positive spin on the EU facing US barriers and Chinese overcapacity that could hollow out European manufacturing?
Blom says Europe is developing ways to protect its market and diversify trade, consumers have benefited from competition, and trade pressures could prompt Europe to rely more on its domestic market and investment.
The silver lining in Europe’s dark economic clouds
Q: Why should we be more optimistic about the projected decline in Europe's working-age population?
Blom says the projection focuses on the 15-to-65 age group and misses rising labor participation among women, older people and younger people. Pension-age increases could also help, and Europe has more room to improve labor participation than the United States.
The fragile undersea cables that connect the world
Q: Is there any way to protect them more effectively?
Bego says landing stations can be better protected, but burying cables everywhere is costly and insufficient. She favors more route redundancy, backup systems, crisis planning, and monitoring.
The fragile undersea cables that connect the world
Q: Why has this suddenly become a topic that people are paying very close attention to?
Bego says suspected cable damage linked to Russia and China, along with concerns about Russian mapping of the infrastructure, have brought the network onto policymakers' agendas.
Why the Everything Bubble keeps on inflating
Q: So what is the situation now with those five factors that you mentioned?
Chancellor says financial conditions remain relatively loose, fiscal deficits support markets, leverage is unusually accessible, and retail trading and market turnover have returned to elevated levels.
