  • 15.00-15.45 London/ 10.00-10.45 New York/18.00-18.45 Dubai/ 22.00-22.45 Hong Kong on Thursday 25th June for our Euromoney LiveStream

    Our guest speakers this week are Andrew Griffiths, Head of Value Chain Sustainability, Nestlé’s UK&I, Hans Loth, Global Head UN Environment Partnership, Rabobank and Diane Holdorf, Managing Director, Food & Nature, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

    Climate change, pollution and intensive farming are all contributing to a fragile food system, while Covid-19 has revealed the lack of resiliency in supply chains to cope with large global shocks. How can finance play a role helping the food sector become more resilient, and ensure supply chains remain strong?

  • This took place at 15.00 - 15.45 London/ 10.00-10.45 New York/18.00-18.45 Dubai/ 22.00-22.45 Hong Kong on Thursday 7th May

    The E in ESG has largely been focused on reducing carbon and other greenhouse gases. But the pandemic has refocused our attention on the relationship between people and all of the environment. What role does finance play in determining the balance of our natural world and how can it alter its practices to protect all of us? Similarly, in the context of a larger climate crisis taking place where natural resources may became scarce, how can the financial community protect itself from nature-related risks?

    Speakers:
    Margaret L. Kuhlow, Finance Practice Leader, WWF International
    Andrew Mitchell, Co-Founder, Natural Capital Finance Alliance (NCFA) - a project of Global Canopy and UNEP FI
    Gwendolyn Yu, Head of Engagement Transformation, BNP Paribas

    Our guest this week is Mahmoud Mohieldin, formerly Egyptian Minister of Investment and Vice President of the World Bank and now at the UN. Mohieldin speaks about his view on the impact of the crisis on emerging markets and about the relevance of the UN and its sustainability agenda in the light of a prolonged global shutdown.Mohieldin shared why we must cooperate to build resilience in fragile economies as we emerge from the first-order crisis. Live attendees could pose their own questions directly to a senior leader at the top of the global response to Covid-19.

  • Wednesday 13 April at 11.00 GMT +1 / 13.00 AST (updated)

    Whatever the outcome of the Ukraine invasion, the global geopolitical landscape has changed irrevocably.

    Is the world going to deglobalize, fragment into cold war blocs or reglobalize into a new network of alliances, partnerships and supply chains? Where does the Middle East sit in this new order? So far, the Gulf is pursuing a strategy of cautious neutrality (and benefiting from high hydrocarbon prices) – but can this last? How should the Middle East’s partners and investors position themselves in 2022 and beyond?

    To answer these questions and many more we are bringing together a panel of the most insightful people we know in a special live webcast on April 13, 11am GMT+1/ 13pm AST
  • The final show in our Saudi Housing Finance Series.

    Over the past three months we have interviewed many of the leading players in the development of this important new market and a group of high-profile international players and experts. Now it’s our turn!

    Richard Banks, Series Editor and Chris Wright, Euromoney Editor for Middle East and Asia join forces to host an hour of unique analysis, comment and conversation to wrap up the series. We also present the findings of our 2021 Saudi Housing Finance Report, analyse the key milestones of 2020 and take the risk of forecasting how the market will perform in 2021 and beyond.

    This interactive session bings together all the themes we’ve covered in the past ten weeks – demographics, government action, policy changes, mortgage market growth and secondary market prospects. It was held live, unscripted and unedited – we tell you what we really think, and you tell us the same!
  • Part of our series on Saudi Arabia’s housing and housing finance markets, Euromoney speaks with Luca Bertalot, Secretary General of the European Mortgage Federation - European Covered Bond Council.

    Covered Bonds are debt instruments issued by a bank or mortgage institution that provide a relatively inexpensive source of mortgage funds. They are popular due to their high credit ratings and level of safety. The security is backed up by pools of mortgages, with the bonds ‘covered’ by the cash flows of the underlying instruments. The covered bond product is used extensively in Europe (having been born in Germany) and plays a key role in European capital markets. In 2019 there was EUR 546bn of issuance with EUR 2.7trn outstanding at the end of the year.

    As the Saudi Arabian housing and housing finance markets continue to grow, covered bonds could be a key funding source for the Saudi banks and their introduction could bring substantial economic benefits to the Kingdom.

    Luca Bertalot speaks with Euromoney’s Victoria Behn, live, about covered bonds, the market’s development and applicability to Saudi Arabia. We also discuss the ECBC’s green agenda, their sustainable mortgage initiative and their Green Covered Bond Label in co-operation with the ECB and EBA.
  • Ammar Alkhudairy, Chairman of SAMBA Financial Group, and future chairman of the combined NCB/SAMBA, and Simon Williams, Chief Economist, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, of HSBC, join us for a full hour of interactive discussion, comments and more.

    Our subject is the outlook for the Saudi economy. In a year which has seen the twin shocks of the pandemic and oil price declines, we’ve also seen rapid and deep action from the Saudi authorities.

    But will it be enough to keep the ship stable and on course? Has the Saudi economy been saved by the reform process that began in 2015, as many commentators say? Or, are the structural problems and concentration on hydrocarbons still hampering the Kingdom’s migration to a new economic model? Will 2021 bring a rapid recovery, or will the economy lag without continued state support? What does this all mean for banking and capital markets?

    We discuss these questions and many more in a fast-paced, informative and candid discussion from two of the markets smartest and most articulate participants.

    The second LiveStream in our Saudi Housing series will focus on the potential of the Saudi mortgage market. This fast-growing market, undented by the pandemic, will see both domestic and international capital market issuance in the near future and has the potential, in time, to be of a similar size to Canada. It matters.

    We’ve brought together three leaders from different parts of the industry to learn how this market is evolving, to understand its unique characteristics and to appreciate what opportunities it presents to international capital. We’ll also discuss, as importantly, why the market matters to the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Directly following that interview will be a live and in-depth Q&A with HRH Prince Saudi bin Talal Al-Saud, Deputy Minister for Residential Support & Beneficiary Services and Mr Marwan Zawawi, Deputy Minister of Residential Products.

    With special guest: HE Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of International Cooperation, Arab Republic of Egypt
    In 2019 Egypt’s economy stabilised significantly and began to show encouraging signs of a sustained return to growth. Then the pandemic hit. Commentators were worried that this shock could damage Egypt’s renewed growth story. But, with commendable agility the government and the people of Egypt responded rapidly and forcefully.

    The result: anticipated growth of 3% in 2020 – despite the worse public health and economic crisis the world has ever seen. Find out from one of the architects of this exceptional response – Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of International Cooperation – how Egypt was able to do this and the prospects for Egypt post-pandemic.

Noor Sweid is one of the brightest investors in the MEA VC firmament and she’s working on an answer to this very question. She’s joining us for an exclusive, one-to-one live and interactive interview online on 12 August, 3pm BST.

    What does philanthropy mean in the 2020s? Has the nature of giving changed -particularly in light of Covid, a pandemic that has forced us to rethink and reconsider the state of healthcare, nature of education, and format of daily communication?

    Is philanthropy at a crossroads? Cerulli Associates reckons $68 trillion in wealth will be transferred between generations in the US alone over the next 25 years. Trillions more will pass into the hand of next-generation HNWs around the world.

    These Gen Xers and millennials feel more strongly about ESG and impact investing than any past generation. The way they feel about giving – whether to solve local issues or global challenges from climate change to inequality, will change not only philanthropy, but the nature of global investing.
  • Covid-19 has exacerbated the wealth gap at the same time as putting extra strain on non-profits and NGOs. Are philanthropists rethinking how they give? And how can the world’s wealthy bring the biggest impact to bear on a global crisis?

Our guest speaker this week is Dr Herbert Stepic, former Chief Executive Officer of Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI).

Countries in emerging Europe went into the Covid-19 crisis in good economic shape and many have outperformed their western counterparts in managing the spread of the virus. But how will they fare during the next phase of the pandemic? As the architect of Raiffeisen’s central and eastern Europe (CEE) empire, Herbert Stepic has been closely involved in the region’s development for more than 30 years. He joins Euromoney’s Emerging Europe Editor, Lucy Fitzgeorge-Parker, to discuss the potential impact of Covid-19 on CEE’s economies, banks and citizens, including the outlook for Chinese involvement in the region and the need for a revamped Vienna Initiative.

  • Join the debate on the existential trouble facing European banks, as we speak to Davide Serra, one of the financial industry’s most influential buy-side voices. Davide is the CEO of Algebris Investments, which he set up in 2006 after running Morgan Stanley’s European bank research. Today Algebris invests across the equity and debt of financial institutions globally, and in non-performing loans, with particular expertise in Europe and Italy.

    He speaks with Euromoney’s Europe editor Dominic O’Neill, live, about where to invest in a sector trading at record-low valuations – and whether the worst is still to come in terms of interest-margin compression, and bad debt. He also address the ECB’s controversial policy on dividends, and the EU’s ability to compete with the City of London, as the Brexit transition period ends.

    And, of course, M&A: are deals like Bankia’s merger with CaixaBank, and Intesa Sanpaolo’s takeover of UBI Banca, a sign that European bank consolidation is finally here? When and how can big cross-border deals follow? Is there more ground for optimism in Europe’s ability to build a truly continental financial sector, despite Brexit?

    The course of the pandemic is anything but certain, but as global debt/gdp is forecast shortly to hit more than 100%, might the medicine be worse than the illness? We’re taking an in-depth look at the options facing public finances across the world in 2021 and beyond. Will inflation re-emerge and when?

    We’re more than pleased to welcome Jean Pierre to Euromoney LiveStreams at a time when the future direction of the Eurozone financial sector is, arguably, as important to us all as it was in 2012. Is the sector really strong enough now to provide the financial muscle necessary to get Europe’s economy moving again?
  • The oil market, on the back of Covid-19 and the price war, is in a state of crisis not seen since the 1920’s. The prospect of a major realignment of producers is real and emergent. Everything could be about to change.

Our guest speaker this week is Peter Sullivan, Public Sector Head for Africa at Citi.

Calls for debt relief in Africa have reignited concerns over the continent’s build-up of debt since the Heavily Indebted Poor Country rescheduling initiative in 1996. Freeing up fiscal space to enable African governments to fight the heath and economic crisis is essential but debt relief is complex.

We discuss the new initiative, how debt has accumulated over the past decade, how the composition of creditors has evolved and how African governments have managed public finances. Most importantly we look ahead to Africa’s recovery and at what change of behaviour from both borrowers and lenders is needed to improve Africa’s resilience and reduce its vulnerability to external shocks.

  • Recorded 15.00 GMT/ 9.00 Mexico City, Wednesday 28th October.

    Governments throughout Latin America have responded to the Covid 19 pandemic in remarkably similar ways -- by loosening monetary policy and implementing huge fiscal stimulus to try and minimise crashing economic activity.

    But in Mexico the central bank and the government have been hawkish. The limited relaxation of fiscal and monetary policies have combined to make the country an outlier in EM, and surprised many international investors and observers who had assumed Mexico’s president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, would react to the crisis by reaching for ‘The Populist’s Playbook’.

    This Livestream session assesses Mexico’s policy response to the global pandemic, look at the economic impact and outlook, and ask whether – given Mexico’s rigid macro-economic response and relatively stable financial indicators – the country offers a safe haven for hugely liquid EM investors?

    Euromoney is joined by Jessica Roldan Pena, chief economist at Finamex, to explore why Mexico is treading its own policy response path and the likely impact it will have on future economic growth and asset price performance – both in the short and medium terms.
