Trade, markets and geopolitics from Geneva - tariffs, chokepoints, energy shocks and supply chains, explained with the facts first and the jokes second.
Trade Splaining is hosted by Ardian Mollabeqiri and Robert Skidmore, two Americans in Geneva who met at the International Trade Centre. Each episode pairs What Went Wrong, our run through the trade and market news worth your time, with an interview with someone who knows the subject from the inside.
Guests have included Chip War author Chris Miller, economist Richard Baldwin, former Spanish foreign minister Arancha González, the FT's Peter Foster, the New York Times' Peter S. Goodman, IATA chief economist Marie Owens Thomsen, the World Bank's Jan Hoffmann and Bank Syz CIO Charles-Henry Monchau.
The question we keep coming back to: what does this actually mean for companies, investors and anyone with a supply chain or a heating bill? Expect substance, the odd expat detour and a long-running Geneva kebab ranking.
