It was an honor joining HSH Prince @MvLiechtenstein of @GIS_Reports for this far-reaching conversation on the geoeconomics of modern money. We cover the horizon - from the rise of stablecoins, to CBDCs, and the importance of rules-based competition to win the digital currency space race. The future of money may be rivaled only by the consequential and intensely competitive AI race.

This, from the Financial Times, highlights a core reality of today's geo-economic era: Multi-causal relationships between economics, domestic politics, and geopolitics. #economy# #markets# #Geopolitics# #geoeconomics# @FT

Chinese President Xi reportedly pressed Donald Trump to oppose Taiwanese independence during his recent visit to the United States.

Coming up at 9:15 CET: day 1 of the 11th ECB Annual Research Conference. Today’s programme includes sessions on globalisation, geoeconomics, critical dependencies and industrial policy. Tune in

With diesel back under the spotlight, please find below Google's summary of price movements over the last year. Underlying this is what has become an increasingly influential, multi-directional causal relationship between geopolitics, domestic politics, and economics. For example, as geopolitical tensions drove diesel prices higher, the negative economic impact began affecting domestic politics. That, in turn, increasingly influenced economic policies and, as illustrated by yesterday's US-Russia announcements, geopolitical decisions as well. #economy# #geoeconomics# #energy# #diesel#

This is a good example of domestic political considerations and geopolitical pressures driving an economic policy decision in this era of geo-economics. Releasing these strategic reserves helps partially shield consumers from soaring prices, but it’s also a high-stakes, longer-term economic risk: G7 leaders are betting supply conditions normalize before winter demand truly bites. #economy# #energy# #oil# #inventories# #geoeconomics# #markets#

As detailed in my latest PS column (link below), "two secular trends will shape finance in the years ahead, one powered from the bottom up by transformative technological innovations, and the other from the top down by geoeconomic influences. Managing each will require major adaptations from financial firms and their regulators, a task complicated by the fact that the two trends are pulling in opposite directions, and their resolution is not yet clear." #economy# #markets# #finance# #tech# #geoeconomics#
