IMF | America’s Perilous Fiscal Path

It’s easier to explain how the US got into its fiscal difficulties than how it will get out of them. In 1990, US public debt stood at 43 percent of gross national product (GNP). The economy was growing only slowly, the unemployment rate exceeded 5 percent, and the Congressional Budget Office forecast that deficits would fall over the following five years, from 4.0 percent to 1.8 percent of GNP. And yet President George H.W. Bush was so concerned about mounting national...

European Commission | Q&A on EU Inc – Making Business Easier in the European Union

Why is the Commission proposing EU Inc.? Today, for too many entrepreneurs and innovative companies, expanding across EU borders means navigating a fragmented corporate legal landscape. European companies looking to grow and scale are faced with navigating 27 national legal systems and over 60 company forms. On top of that, many processes still require manual paperwork, in-person appointments, and unnecessary documentation. This can delay the setting-up of a company for weeks or even months, slowing growth, raising costs and discouraging scale. During the...

IMF | Europe Can Regain Its Productivity Edge by Scaling Up

Capital markets integration, expanding opportunities for workers, and bigger consumer markets will allow companies to grow faster. Europe once led the world in productivity growth but now lags the United States —and the gap has widened significantly in recent years. The Chart of the Week shows that behind this shortfall is the staggering difficulty that European firms face in scaling up. In the United States, the stock market valuation of young firms (under the age of 50) is $42.9 trillion, compared to a...

How AI is Driving the Future of Life Sciences Markets

Life sciences companies are using AI to speed up drug discovery, accelerate commercialization timelines, and improve back-office functions. The strong AI market in the U.S. has allowed for collaborations between AI-focused tech companies, life sciences companies, and universities. However, limitations around centralized data availability have made for challenges with deploying technology for clinical and commercial purposes. Europe has unique advantages due to many countries having centralized health data stores, collaborative networks, and strong public funding for research. As we have seen increased investment for companies utilizing AI to improve patient outcomes, life sciences companies who can unlock cross-border collaborations in the AI space may have an edge to tap into capital markets.

    Webinar | Making Sense of the EU AI Act – A Practical Briefing

    Hosted by Osborne Clarke | Application and enforcement of the EU AI Act are coming steadily closer, with key obligations for everyday business use cases set to apply later this year.

      Bannockburn Capital Markets | Yesterday’s Optimism Turns More Guarded

      The markets remain on edge. President Trump’s five-day hiatus announced yesterday is looked upon suspiciously.  Much of what has been claimed seems to be part of the psych-operations associated with warfare, like initiating the war during negotiations. Many seem to share our sense that the five-day period will allow more US troops to enter the region and perhaps attempt to take Kharg Island. The US strategy seems to waver between destroying Iran’s capability to even make a paperclip to seeking...

      The Medical Link | The Cost-Saving Strategy Employers Are Using To Keep Benefits Intact

      For many employers, health insurance renewals have started to feel like the same annual challenge: premiums go up, budgets get tighter, and employees expect the same level of coverage. Cutting benefits or shifting more costs to employees might reduce expenses in the short term, but it often creates bigger problems—lower morale, retention challenges, and frustration when employees actually need care.  That’s why more employers are turning to a smarter approach: using an HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) to lower premiums while keeping the...

      Jaguar Freight | IEEPA Refund Update

      The Current Status of IEEPA Refunds To quickly recap, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA tariffs were unlawful in late February. As a result, those tariffs stopped being collected, and the U.S. Court of International Trade has since ruled that importers are entitled to refunds. Shortly after, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that its existing systems cannot process the refunds tied to the IEEPA tariffs but would begin building a new mechanism to handle them. The agency recently...
