Key Points

  • AI boom is a positive long-term trend, but financing challenges and infrastructure build-out risks exist.
  • Governments cannot borrow and spend endlessly; this fuels inflation and creates risk, as seen in the French bond selloff.
  • The UK's windfall tax on banks lacks principle and will negatively impact capital formation and economic growth.
