Analyzing the governance practices shaping the world.

On the global economy and the next crisis

"Major oil crises are often followed by rampant inflation – take the 1973 oil embargo, for example – and in 2026, we're likely to see the same chain of events, potentially broadening into an all-out global recession."

On whistleblower protection

"That is why being a whistleblower takes immense bravery, but courage shouldn't be a prerequisite for exposing wrongdoing ."

Europe's anti-corruption efforts

"The EU must look inward and put renewed efforts into strengthening anti-corruption enforcement, focusing not only on the public sector, but on those cases where bribery, scandal, and the scope for cross-border wrongdoing are most rife: the private sector. "

The role of whistleblowers

"At the moment, whistleblowers are largely left to fend for themselves, and that means the chances of them bringing a claim that doesn't clear the legal hurdles are far higher... whistleblowers are a core pillar of any flourishing capitalist economy."

FIFA's conduct

"It is up to the UN to consolidate and streamline global efforts into a watchdog, and in doing so, the international community can finally move towards a more proactive and effective anti-corruption framework."

Business in the EU

"If the last twelve months have taught the European Union anything, it is that it must now stand on its own two feet."

Federal Reserve Rate decision

"Warsh's choosing to 'wait and see' will have been almost inevitable - and will have little impact on doubts about his independence."
