The price of self-sufficiency

Housing boom: what are the consequences for monetary policy?
Despite the Covid economic shock, house prices have continued to rise in most advanced economies, and are also increasing rapidly in some emerging economies. This is not (yet) a global housing boom. Indeed, indicators of overvaluation remain below those observed before the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) and are still very contrasted across regions.

Banks in the post-Covid-19 world
We thought the banking sector was forever changed by the Global Financial Crisis (GFC): e.g., lower leverage, better risk management, greater transparency, etc. Yet, the Greensill Capital bankruptcy, and the multibillions in losses plus dividend cuts, capital increases, and senior management layoffs at Credit Suisse -- following the Archegos debacle and the Wirecard accounting fraud -- bring back a bitter taste of past troubles.

Shifts & Narratives #7 - Opening the Pandora’s box of social risks: Consequences for investors
The Covid-19 crisis can be considered a turning point for social issues: it has put global socio-economic inequalities in the spotlight and made them more concrete than ever before. It has also clearly shown the tragic effects, from an economic and societal perspective, that systemic shocks can have on unequal, non-resilient societies.
