Tactics, Tariffs and Truth Bombs

In this week’s Merryn Talks Money, host Merryn Somerset Webb sits down with Euronext CEO, Stéphane Boujnah to explore the reasoning behind the sense that investors are starting to look away from the US and towards Europe for opportunties. They discuss a range of topics from evolving market conditions, investor sentiment and the growing uncertainty surrounding US economic stability. They also discuss the impact of Europe’s institutional framework on its investment appeal and the role of European market integration in attracting capital. 
 
“Europe today is perceived as a large Switzerland. It’s not like everyone is getting fascinated by the growth prospects of European economies,” says Boujnah. “It’s just the feeling is that the institutional framework is stable and predictable.”
