Earlier this week, the EC published a recommendation for the EU Member States to adopt outbound investment screening regimes -- a small tool to review investments and protect the EU economy, but which has the potential to become another wrench in the EU's toolkit. In the link below, you will find our post on the topic, including: 👉 Sectors affected: semi-conductors, AI and quantum technologies 👉 Time scope: investments since 1 January 2021, but it remains to be seen whether Member States will be able to put in place retroactive screening regimes under national law 👉 Thresholds/substantive review: the recommendation does not set any jurisdictional/substantive thresholds, which will likely lead to a fragmented approach that, if it sticks, will need to be harmonised in the future (see, e.g., the current national FDI regimes and the EU FDI Reg proposal). https://lnkd.in/eQrM5KPj

The BEAT - Outlook for 2025 The investment environment to start the new year is quite interesting. Equity and fixed income markets appear to be fully valued and the Republican sweep in the US could have global ramifications. China continues to struggle to find its footing, while AI might provide significant investment opportunities in alternative investing. The Portfolio Solutions Group looks at five key areas going into 2025. 🔹 How To Invest in a Fully-Valued Market 🔹 The Bull Market Matures on Optimism 🔹 In Fixed Income, Securitized Credit Might Be the Sweet Spot 🔹 Stimulus Fatigue: China Can't Band-Aid Its Way to Recovery 🔹 The Potential Impact of Generative AI on Private Markets

We assume with certainty that AI will be financially beneficial for economies, however Gita Gopinath (IMF), at the AI for Good Global Summit, outlined and provided solutions for AI related risks in the context of an economic downturn, my interpretation: 1.  Labour Markets – AI can replace humans, in a downturn, there’s less resource and incentive to invest in and redeploy workers: - Nearly 90 percent of automation related job losses in the U.S. have occurred in the first year of recessions. - 30% of jobs in advanced economies are at risk of AI substitution; unprecedented job loss and long-term unemployment = shock to the financial system 2. Algorithmic Trading- the financial services industry has relied heavily on algorithmic trading since before the recent AI boom: - AI has shown to perform badly with unfamiliar patterns, such as a downturn; behaviour may include rebalancing portfolios to become overly conservative and models’ decision to leave other assets will then be rewarded as their prices fall. 3.   Supply Chain Breakdown – inaccurate decisioning via Generative AI could cause forecasting errors, causing delays and shortages of goods. Policy Advice 1. Craft systems that do not inefficiently favour automation over people e.g. review tax rates on hardware and software. 2. Help workers cope with the impacts of AI e.g. Singapore offers unconditional grants to all adults for training throughout their working lives. 3. Lower financial and supply-chain amplification risks e.g. regulator upskilling, disclosures on AI use, “events like no other” stress testing and sufficient human oversight Crisis Amplifier?
