In this podcast, Johan Trocmé, Viktor Sonebäck and Johanna Rådemar from Nordea Thematics have fun trying to disprove nobel prize-winning economic theory.

In this Nordea On Your Mind podcast, Johan Trocmé and Viktor Sonebäck from Nordea Thematics talk to Henrik Immelborn who runs Debt Solutions and Loans in Denmark at Nordea Investment Banking.

The Basel IV global framework for bank regulation aims to harmonise how banks calculate their risk-weighted assets, but will lead to higher reserve capital requirements, particularly for lending to corporates.

Don’t panic - 2022 is almost over

Central banks had struggled for a decade with extreme measures as shock therapy to push inflation even close to typically targeted 2% levels, with very limited success. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 triggered supply shocks for energy and food, which has caused a sharp and sudden inflation spike.

In this Nordea On Your Mind podcast, Johan Trocmé and Viktor Sonebäck remind us what inflation actually is, how it works, what drives it, and why it is bad for the economy. Should you be convinced that the inflation surge is temporary?

Their advice from 2019 is even more valid today.

Will they eventually have to start investing again to catch up, or has something in the economy changed, so they don’t need to invest as much anymore? What do they do with their money instead of investing. And – should they invest, or would their share prices suffer if they do?

The oil industry has suffered three big shocks only in the past twelve years. It has been turned completely upside down in 2020, with a price war in March quickly abandoned as the COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented demand collapse. 

Johan Trocmé, Viktor Sonebäck and Shirin Haddad talk about their latest Nordea On Your Mind report ‘Oil: black gold or black hole’, where they explore how the industry should deal with likely persistent oil price volatility, peak oil demand within six years as renewable energy keeps growing, and the need to have a sustainable business, also in oil.
