Imane Bakkar, Founder and Managing Director of Logarisk, joins Monetary Matters to discuss her most recent White Paper, “Weather Is No Small Talk.” She argues that the electricity grid and the financial system are becoming more weather dependent because of the rise of renewable power, AI, climate, and the increasing ownership of the grid by non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs). Recorded on September 9, 2025.
