Switzerland's financial center is losing its edge, with a recent study revealing a decline in international assets managed, dropping from $2,438 billion in 2020 to $2,174 billion in 2024. The bankruptcy of Credit Suisse and slower growth in core markets are key factors, while the USA has gained ground, now managing over $2,100 billion, aided by its non-participation in new international tax rules.
Chinese smartphone companies, including Honor and Xiaomi, are enhancing their AI capabilities ahead of Apple's upcoming product launch. Honor's new Magic operating system features an AI assistant that can perform tasks like ordering coffee and making calls without user interaction, set to debut with the Magic 7 smartphone on October 30. Meanwhile, Apple faces challenges in the Chinese market, with a slight decline in revenue from the region, as competition intensifies with foldable devices and advanced AI features from rivals.
Norway's $1.8 trillion sovereign wealth fund, managed by Norges Bank Investment Management, has issued a cautionary warning about stock market risks, citing heightened uncertainty in the economic outlook. Deputy CEO Trond Grande emphasized the need for realism amid concerns over the U.S. political climate, China's economic recovery, and stagnant growth in Europe. Despite a strong performance, with a third-quarter return of 4.4%, the fund acknowledges that risks are skewed to the downside in equity markets.
Housing affordability is a critical issue for voters, with millions unable to buy homes or rent suitable apartments. A significant shortfall of 1 to 4 million homes has led to bidding wars, pushing the median sales price of existing homes to a record $426,900, while higher mortgage rates, peaking at nearly 8%, have sidelined many potential buyers.
Starting in 2025, Italy will mandate credit card payments for various tax deductions to combat tax evasion. This initiative will expand traceable payment requirements to most deductible expenses, including business representation costs, and will enhance transparency through digital delivery notes and electronic receipts. Despite recent improvements, Italy continues to face significant challenges with tax evasion, particularly in VAT and income taxes.
Slovenia's President Natasa Pirc Musar has proposed former Prime Minister Anton Rop to lead the central bank, a move that would replace current Governor Bostjan Vasle, who lacks political backing. Rop, also a former finance minister, was selected for his extensive experience in banking and management.
Investors are increasingly purchasing Ukraine’s dollar bonds, betting on a potential Trump victory in the upcoming US election that could hasten the end of the war with Russia. This month, Ukrainian bonds have yielded nearly 6%, with prices approaching 50 cents on the dollar, while economic performance-linked warrants are trading above 70 cents, marking their highest levels since the onset of the invasion in 2022.
Amber Enterprises is experiencing significant growth, with a projected sale of 1.30 crore AC units this year, driven by a prolonged summer and a strong order book. The company reported an 82% increase in consolidated revenue to Rs 1684.70 crore and a net profit of Rs 20.96 crore, marking a turnaround from a loss last year. With plans for new facilities and a joint venture in PCB production, Amber aims to outpace industry growth and capitalize on the expanding market.
Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck has proposed a 10% investment bonus to stimulate domestic investment and economic growth. The initiative, part of a "modernization agenda," would subsidize investments, excluding building projects, and allow companies to offset the bonus against tax liabilities or receive cash if unprofitable. This plan has yet to be adopted as official government policy.
The incoming EU antitrust chief, Teresa Ribera, advocates for an overhaul of merger rules to foster the growth of European firms capable of competing with global giants. She emphasizes the need for the EU's competition authority to adapt its merger enforcement approach to enhance the competitiveness of EU companies, aligning with the bloc's goal of establishing industrial champions to rival those from the US and China.
