In the City

The City's Radical Dream is Dead


Listen Later

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being heralded by some in the City as "a safe pair of hands" due in part to his resume: An MBA from Stanford University, a stint at Goldman Sachs and some time at The Children’s Investment Fund. But while many finance professionals say they're appreciative of Sunak's moderate tone, some are worried their dream of a reformed, City of London 2.0 is dead.

In this week's In the City, David and Francine speak to Bloomberg editors Katherine Griffiths and Tom Metcalf about Sunak's vision (such as it is) for the City, what his leadership means for a post-Brexit Britain and mounting concerns from banks about the possibility of higher taxes to keep the UK afloat.

Plus, senior executive editor Simon Kennedy joins to discuss his discovery of a "Goldman globe." Since the end of 2005, there have only been about 48 hours in which an alumnus of the Wall Street giant didn't hold either the position of prime minister, finance minister, central bank chief or their equivalents in a G-7 country.
