Standard Chartered Plc has completed a $300 million debt swap deal for the Bahamas, enabling the country to refinance its debt and direct savings towards ocean conservation efforts. This transaction, the bank's first in this market, was facilitated in collaboration with the Nature Conservancy and received partial backing from the Inter-American Development Bank.
EFG International reported a net profit of SFr260 million ($293.7 million) for the first 10 months of 2024, up from SFr240 million in the same period last year. Assets under management rose to approximately SFr159 billion, driven by strong client activity and the recruitment of 60 new client relationship officers.

Two established private banks in western Switzerland, Gonet & Cie and ONE swiss bank, are set to merge, creating a new entity under the Gonet brand, led by CEO Jean-René Lepezel. This merger, facilitated by Arab Bank Switzerland, will oversee approximately 12 billion francs in assets and is expected to complete by mid-2025, pending regulatory approval. The combined expertise will enhance offerings, particularly through Dynagest, ONE swiss bank’s asset management division.
UBS analyst Steven Fisher identifies opportunities in the construction sector, particularly highlighting Vulcan Materials, the largest producer of aggregate materials in the U.S. Despite recent revenue misses, Fisher anticipates growth driven by an improving non-residential construction market and operational efficiencies, projecting a 3-4% volume growth in aggregates by 2026.
UBS analysts highlight opportunities in the construction sector, particularly for Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) and Vulcan Materials (VMC), both rated as Strong Buy. Despite recent earnings misses, analysts foresee growth driven by a supportive construction market, with MLM expected to see an 18% upside and VMC a 19.5% increase in share price over the next year.
Donald Trump's recent election victory casts a shadow over COP29, intensifying the already challenging climate negotiations amid global conflicts and economic constraints. His commitment to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement threatens to deepen divides between developed and developing nations, complicating efforts to combat rising emissions during a critical decade for climate action. With fewer world leaders attending and a focus on financial commitments, the summit's potential for meaningful progress remains uncertain.
At the Commonwealth summit in Samoa, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced pressure from Caribbean nations demanding reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. Despite his rejection of financial commitments, the summit's declaration emphasized the need for a meaningful conversation about historical injustices. The debate on reparations is gaining traction in the UK, with some wealthy families and institutions beginning to address their pasts, while opposition remains strong within certain political circles.
