Episode notes

Europe has begun to vet Chinese inward investments quite a bit more carefully. The area which has not been hit so badly is greenfield investments in Europe. Probably the biggest or hottest area in that regard has been electric vehicles and particularly batteries. So if there is one area that remains fairly hot, it is that electric vehicle supply chain area.

The Bank of England is set to raise interest rates to their highest level since 2008 this week, and investors are worried about the impact of rising rates on US commercial real estate. Plus, the FT’s James Kynge explains the decline in Chinese investment into Europe.
