Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Women, business and balance: using data to advance inclusion

Q: I want to start the podcast with a personal question about your career path and what shaped your focus on evidence-based policymaking and women's economic inclusion.

Tea describes a career shaped by seeing how laws and institutions determine who participates in the economy, with early work on ease of doing business revealing how gendered constraints affect women as entrepreneurs and workers, and how this led to focusing on the impact of laws on women's economic participation.

European investment grade credit in a shifting macro regime

Q: Edward, jumping right in, as we sit close to the end of Q1, how would you characterize the European macro backdrop across growth, inflation, the fiscal-monetary policy mix, and what does this imply for the opportunity set in European investment-grade credit?

The macro backdrop has shifted materially; there is upside risk to inflation and downside risk to growth due to the energy shock and war, which suggests a more cautious but still constructive stance for Euro IG, with emphasis on quality, liquidity, and carry.

Nature loss: the insurance protection blind spot

Q: What is needed for nature-based finance to become a viable asset class?

Nature must generate revenue streams through mechanisms like legally required restoration, ecosystem service payments, and incentives for nature-positive farming; pricing nature as a public good and integrating nature into financial decision-making can unlock investment in forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems as assets while preserving their ecological value.

Nature loss: the insurance protection blind spot

Q: What role should governments and regulators play in addressing this gap?

Governments should pursue a holistic framework that combines public-private partnerships, risk reduction, and mandatory transition plans for insurers, ensuring incentives promote risk reduction rather than encouraging development in high-risk areas; regulators should also push climate stress testing and disclosure, rewarding sustainability as a competitive advantage.

Nature loss: the insurance protection blind spot

Q: Regula, could you tell us what the climate insurance protection gap is?

The protection gap is the difference between total losses from an event and the insured losses, highlighting that damages beyond what insurance covers—often including damages to nature and infrastructure—are not fully captured, which can be particularly large in disaster-prone regions and varies by peril and geography.
