In the Blind Spot (Travel deposits — Trussonomics redux — Digital pound)
Dear Subscribers, welcome to another Blind Spot newsletter. This week, I’m afraid to say, has proven a bit of a comedy of errors on my end. Maybe it’s the heat? It all started to go pear-shaped earlier this week, after a nightmare speaking engagement where I was asked to give a U.K. economic outlook to […]
In the Blind Spot (Nanu nanu — Loyalty sovereign debt — HODL multiplier)
Greetings, dear subscribers. Given the “we are not alone” UAP news this week, I’ve let Dario loose on his favourite subject in today’s newsletter, as there is nobody I know who has a more authoritative, informed and critical-minded understanding of the area than him. And there’s no doubt it’s a blind spot topic. He’s also […]
In the Blind Spot (Deposit beta — AI apocalypse — Voluntary price caps)
Greetings Blind Spotters. It’s Saturday and the weather seems to have turned in the UK. Hurrah! And since the US didn’t default, we can all relax now. Sorry for the tardiness of today’s send-out, but it’s been an exceptionally busy week for me, what with the launch of Politico’s new central banker service (which you […]
In the Blind Spot (Libor — Scarce reserves — Crypto conglomerates)
This week’s edition of the Blind Spot newsletter was compiled by me, Izabella Kaminska, with the help of Dario Garcia Giner + some of my Politico colleagues, because it features some recycled snippets (or blurbs as they call them) from the dummy runs of our new Politico Europe Central Banker newsletter, which launches on May […]
In the Blind Spot (Intraday funding — Beyond growth — FRONTEX)
This week’s Blind Spot newsletter was compiled by me, Izabella Kaminska, with the help of my own human version of ChatGPT, Dario Garcia Giner. I had the pleasure this week of taking part in a Cyber Salon event organised by entrepreneur Eva Pascoe at the House of Commons under the auspices of former shadow chancellor […]

In the Blind Spot (Natgas lows — $UNG — US debt deals)
This week’s Blind Spot wrap was compiled by me, Izabella Kaminska, and Dario Garcia Giner. It comes to you (at least in part) by way of the business class lounge at Prague airport, where I find myself late Friday evening on the way back from a CBDC-themed conference attended by some fascinating Czech and Slovak […]
In the Blind Spot (Grey economy — Influencers — Drug wars)
Happy coronation weekend to all my royalist readers, but also commiserations to the republicans. It’s been an extraordinarily busy week for me, but things will get into more of a normal flow as soon as the new Charles era begins proper. This edition of the Blind Spot Wrap was mostly compiled by Dario Garcia Giner, […]
In the Blind Spot (Soft power — Gazprom Mercenaries — NIM)
Greetings and welcome to the weekend. I thought it was hayfever that I was suffering from but turns out it was actually a cold, no doubt connected to the lack of any semblance of spring or summer in the UK. I still have my winter coat hanging out, goddammit. This week’s Blind Spot Wrap was […]
In the Blind Spot (Meme warfare, RTGS renewal, HSBC)
This week’s Blind Spot Wrap was compiled by Izabella Kaminska and Dario Garcia Giner, but sadly suffered an unscheduled delivery failure. Apologies for the delay! Business, econ, finance etc: The Reserve Bank of Australia said it would split its board into two panels: one to handle interest rates and another to handle currency issuance. The […]
