ABN AMRO Bank posts net profit of EUR 619 million in Q1 2025
14 May 2025
Key messages
Marguerite Bérard, CEO:
“As we reflect on the first quarter of 2025, I am honoured to address you as the new CEO of ABN AMRO. I value the trust placed in me by the Supervisory Board to lead our bank in the years to come. In the coming period, my priority will be to lead a strategic review of our activities, while building upon our solid foundations and strong market positions. We will focus on enhancing our profitability, optimising our capital position, right-sizing our cost base and achieving meaningful growth. The outcome of this review will be presented at a Capital Markets Day in November this year.
The Dutch economy continues to demonstrate resilience, with GDP growth in recent years above the Eurozone average, low unemployment and good housing market performance. Thanks to this robust foundation, the economy is well-positioned to navigate the current uncertainties around trade tensions and geopolitical developments. In these challenging times, ABN AMRO performed well, delivering another quarter of solid results and growth in our loan books. This reflects our strategic focus on key growth areas, our credit quality and our ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
In the first quarter of 2025, we showed solid results with a net profit of EUR 619 million and a return on equity of around 10%. This performance was underpinned by resilient net interest income, continued high fee income and limited net impairments. After a few quarters of rising costs, we managed to reduce our underlying costs in Q1 compared to the previous quarter. To deliver on our guidance of keeping underlying costs broadly flat compared to last year, cost discipline remains a priority. Therefore, we enforced increased controls on consultant expenditures and external hiring.
Though challenging for colleagues, as we all need to adjust, it will help us reassess capacity needs and optimise our resources. By collaborating and using our creativity and talents, I believe we can deliver on our strategic ambitions while becoming a more agile organisation.
Our strong capital position, with a Basel IV CET1 ratio of 14.7%, allows us to continue investing in our strategic priorities while maintaining financial stability. In Q1, we submitted the final application to move models to less sophisticated approaches which is now reflected in our capital ratios. The simplification will bring stability and predictability to our capital position. The largest part of our balance sheet remains under advanced models, specifically mortgages, banks and financial institutions. Portfolios that required significant modelling and data efforts will be moved to the standardised approach.
Our continued efforts to improve customer experience resulted in an increase in our Net Promoter Score for Personal & Business Banking during the first quarter of 2025. Clients especially praise our efficient and good customer services, proactive contact, and the convenience of our digital services. This was also recognised by the 2024 Digital Leaders Study, which ranked ABN AMRO among the top performers. Tikkie, with 10 million active users, is a good example of our innovative offering. During King’s Day this year, Tikkie processed a record number of almost 700,000 transactions. We also introduced the Index Mandate, an actively-managed product that invests in underlying passive instruments. With this product we aim to attract younger clients and help them begin with portfolio management.
We remain dedicated to sustainability. In the first quarter we launched the free online Green Building Tool which helps provide commercial real estate clients with insights into opportunities to save energy and improve their energy label. We realise that making the switch to a sustainable society is not always straightforward for our clients. A survey among over 350 business clients at our decarbonisation conference revealed challenges in the energy transition, including high capital expenditure, complexity and cost impacts. We aim to support our clients towards a low-carbon future by providing financing and expertise. One example of how we can help them is our recent agreement with the EIB Group to support Dutch SMEs with favourable financing conditions. This collaboration will enhance economic growth and the sustainability efforts of our clients. It includes the largest risk-sharing agreement with the EIB Group to date, totalling EUR 1 billion.
ABN AMRO believes that everyday represents a new beginning for our customers, and for whom we stand ready to support. I am looking forward to my ‘new beginning’, collaborating with all my colleagues to deliver results for our stakeholders in the years to come.

The Indian market indices opened in the green on Wednesday after retail inflation hit multi-year low and geo-political tensions eased.
At around 9:25 am, Sensex was up 414 points or 0.51 per cent at 81,562 and Nifty was up 136 points or 0.55 per cent at 24,712.

On the sectoral front, all indices were trading in the green. Auto, IT, PSU bank, FMCG, metal, energy, infra and PSE were major gainers.
“After a positive opening, Nifty can find support at 24,500 followed by 24,400 and 24,300. On the higher side, 24,700 can be an immediate resistance, followed by 24,800 and 24,850,” said Hardik Matalia from Choice Broking.

Education ministers from 21 APEC economies are gathering in Jeju, Republic of Korea, today for the 7th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting, and reaffirming their shared commitment to bridging educational divides and fostering growth that benefits all people in the region through innovation and global cooperation.
Held under the theme “Bridging Educational Gaps and Promoting Sustainable Growth in the Era of Digital Transformation: Innovate, Connect, Prosper,” the meeting comes at a moment of profound global change, as member economies confront the challenges of digital disruption, demographic shifts, climate change and widening inequalities.
“We are not simply witnessing ordinary changes—we are living through a monumental transformation in human civilization,” said Ju-Ho Lee, Acting President, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of the Republic of Korea, who chairs the meeting. “Education is emerging not merely as a tool of economic competitiveness, but as a pillar of sustainable prosperity for the global community.”
In discussions throughout the day, ministers explore how digital transformation, particularly the rise of generative AI, is forcing a fundamental rethink of how education systems function and what they aim to achieve.
“What kind of human being are we truly seeking to nurture through education?” Acting President Lee posed. “Today’s students must cultivate the ability to think critically, define problems independently and seek creative solutions. Equally important is the nurturing of human values and a sense of responsibility as members of a global community.”
Korea introduces the AI Digital Textbook (AIDT), which supports learners in studying at their own pace and level, and empowers teachers to take on the role of learning designers and facilitators.
“This is more than the adoption of new tools,” said Acting President Lee. “It is a bold and inclusive approach to unlock the potential of every learner and to transform classrooms into dynamic learning environments.”
Ministers emphasize that developing AI-powered content, modernizing assessment systems and enhancing digital skills among teachers are key areas for collaboration to ensure inclusive, high-quality education across the region.
The meeting also highlights the need for stronger cross-border partnerships to accelerate innovation and reduce educational inequality.
“Global cooperation in education is more critical than ever,” said Acting President Lee. “We must share best practices, collaborate on policies and technologies, and work hand in hand to close persistent educational gaps.”
Ministers also underscores the importance of sharing AI-driven innovations, promoting teacher exchanges, strengthening regional learning networks and advancing digital inclusion initiatives as effective ways to reach underserved learners.
As APEC economies strive to build inclusive, future-ready societies, ministers reaffirm education’s role as the foundation for economic resilience, social cohesion and long-term prosperity.
Korea shares its efforts to advance regional innovation ecosystems and digital lifelong learning systems in partnership with universities and local communities, helping all citizens adapt proactively to change.
“Education is not merely the transfer of knowledge. It is the most powerful instrument we have to design our shared future,” said Acting President Lee. “As AI and digital technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, we must ensure that the benefits of these advancements are distributed fairly and equitably across societies.”
Throughout the meeting, ministers are aligned on the need to adapt domestic education strategies to APEC-wide priorities and committed to strengthening collaboration through the Human Resources Development Working Group and other multilateral platforms.

Many lenders now offer flexible terms and more accessible criteria to help those with less-than-perfect credit scores. With careful research, you can find trustworthy lenders that provide practical solutions without falling into high-interest traps or predatory lending practices.
The key is knowing where to look, and understanding the features of the best loans for bad credit. These loans are not necessarily as bad as they may sound; in fact, many of them come with transparent terms, reasonable rates, and, importantly, a chance for you to rebuild your credit over time.
In this article, we’ll explore the best loans for bad credit in 2025. We’ll break down what makes a loan suitable, how to apply for one, and which lender we recommend based on thorough research.
Upstart – Our No. 1 Pick for Bad Credit Loans
After reviewing a wide range of lenders that cater to bad credit borrowers, Upstart stands out as the best choice. Upstart is an innovative online lender that uses AI to evaluate applicants, making it more accessible for people with low credit scores or limited credit histories.
Unlike traditional lenders, Upstart doesn’t solely rely on your credit score. Instead, it considers additional factors such as your education, employment, and income to assess your loan eligibility.
While many traditional lenders would reject you based solely on your credit score, Upstart takes a more holistic approach. It offers flexibility and faster approval processes, making it our top pick for individuals looking for loans despite having a bad credit score.

Loan Amounts, APR Range, and Repayment Terms
Upstart offers personal loans ranging from $1,000 to $50,000, with APRs varying between 6.70% and 35.99% depending on the borrower’s creditworthiness and the loan terms. These terms are competitive, and the rates are generally lower than many other bad credit loan providers, although higher than standard loans for those with excellent credit.
Upstart’s repayment terms are fixed at 36 or 60 months. While this may seem limited compared to lenders offering a broader range of terms, it allows borrowers to plan their repayments over manageable time periods. This is particularly helpful for individuals looking for a structured and predictable payment schedule.

Why It’s the Top Pick
There are several reasons why Upstart has earned the top spot for best loans for bad credit in 2025:
What Is a Bad Credit Score?
A bad credit score typically refers to a credit score below 580. Scores in the 580-669 range are considered “fair” credit, and scores below 580 are considered poor. A bad credit score indicates that the borrower has a history of financial difficulties, such as missed payments, defaults, or high debt-to-income ratios—all factors that affect the types of loans available to you.
Understanding your credit score and how it impacts your loan options is key when searching for the best loans for bad credit.
Credit scores are determined by several factors:
While a bad credit score can significantly affect your ability to get approved for loans from traditional lenders, platforms like Upstart are more flexible and are willing to consider other factors beyond just your score.
Example Scenario: Who This Is Best For
Consider Sara, who has a credit score of 550 due to missed payments on her credit cards in the past. She needs $8,000 to cover medical bills after a sudden emergency. Sara has been rejected by her bank and a few other lenders due to her credit history.
However, with Upstart, she was able to complete a simple online application, was matched with a lender that offered her a 36-month loan with an APR of 18.99%, and received the funds the same day. By making timely payments, Sara is not only able to take care of her medical bills but is also improving her credit score.
What Are Bad Credit Loans?
Bad credit loans are financial products designed to help individuals with poor credit histories access funds when needed. Traditional banks and financial institutions typically rely heavily on your credit score to approve loans, but bad credit loans offer a more inclusive approach.
These loans may come with higher interest rates due to the risk involved, but they provide an opportunity for borrowers to obtain financial assistance and rebuild their credit.
There are several types of bad credit loans:
Eligibility & Application Process to Get a Loan with Bad Credit
One of the significant advantages of applying for a loan with Upstart is its inclusive eligibility criteria. Unlike traditional lenders, Upstart doesn’t require a high credit score or an extensive financial history.
This makes the application process more accessible for borrowers who may have been rejected by other financial institutions due to bad credit or a thin credit file.

Minimum Credit Score
Upstart is uniquely flexible when it comes to credit score requirements. There is no official minimum credit score to apply for a loan. While Upstart does consider your credit history, it doesn’t make it the sole deciding factor. This is especially beneficial for borrowers who may have a credit score in the lower range or no credit history at all.
Upstart uses an innovative AI-driven model that considers other important factors, such as income, employment history, education, and debt-to-income ratio. These factors are weighed alongside your credit score to assess your ability to repay the loan, which allows for higher approval rates and more tailored loan offers.
This broader approach to evaluating loan applications means that borrowers with bad or limited credit histories have a real opportunity to secure the funds they need without the pressure of needing to “fix” their credit first.
Required Documents
The application process with Upstart is entirely digital and streamlined for ease. There’s no need for you to visit a branch or upload numerous documents. The entire process can be completed online in just a few minutes. You will need to provide basic information, which typically includes:
In some cases, Upstart may request additional documentation or verification, but this is typically done electronically after the initial application is processed. The platform strives to make the process as hassle-free as possible, ensuring you can apply and potentially receive approval without unnecessary delays.
Approval Time and Disbursement
One of the standout features of Upstart is its speed. After submitting your short application, the approval process is often instant, meaning you’ll know within minutes whether you’ve been approved for a loan.
If you’re approved and matched with a lender, funds are typically disbursed the same day, and in many cases, as quickly as within 1 business day. For borrowers facing urgent financial needs, such as medical bills or car repairs, this fast turnaround is a game-changer.
Overall, Upstart’s streamlined and efficient application process, along with quick approval and disbursement times, makes it an excellent choice for individuals who need access to funds without the long waiting periods associated with traditional lending methods.

Why It’s Hard to Get Loans with Bad Credit
Securing a loan with bad credit is challenging primarily because traditional lenders, such as banks, rely heavily on credit scores to assess the risk of lending money. A low credit score signals to lenders that you have a history of financial instability, such as missed payments, defaults, or high debt-to-income ratios.
As a result, these lenders consider you a high-risk borrower, which leads to either outright loan rejection or approval under unfavorable terms, such as higher interest rates, shorter repayment periods, and substantial fees. This makes it difficult for individuals with bad credit to access loans that offer fair terms.
Moreover, even when loans are available, they often come with exorbitant interest rates and fees, making it hard to pay off the loan and ultimately worsening the borrower’s financial situation. Payday loans, for example, offer quick access to cash but often come with annual percentage rates (APRs) that can exceed 400%.
These high rates trap borrowers in a cycle of debt, forcing them to take out additional loans to repay the original one. Unfortunately, many people with bad credit are stuck in this cycle, as traditional financial institutions continue to prioritize low-risk applicants with good credit scores, leaving those with poor credit without accessible and affordable loan options.
Fortunately, platforms like Upstart are challenging this model by offering more inclusive loan products that consider factors beyond just credit scores, such as education, employment, and income.
This innovative approach not only helps borrowers with bad credit gain access to loans but also provides a fairer lending process that avoids the pitfalls of predatory lending. By focusing on a broader range of eligibility criteria, Upstart makes it easier for individuals with bad credit to secure a loan without being punished by high fees or interest rates.
What to Look for in a Bad Credit Loan
When applying for a loan with bad credit, it’s important to focus on these key features to ensure you’re getting one of the best loans for bad credit:
Fair Interest Rates
Look for loans with reasonable interest rates, ideally below 36% APR, to avoid predatory lending. High rates can make it harder to pay off your debt and lead to financial stress. Compare APRs from multiple lenders to find the best deal.
No Prepayment Penalties
Choose a loan that doesn’t penalize you for paying off the loan early. No prepayment penalties give you the flexibility to pay down your debt faster and save on interest if you come into extra money.
Soft Credit Checks
Look for lenders that offer soft credit checks during the prequalification process. This won’t affect your credit score and allows you to compare loan offers without committing or harming your score.
Fast Disbursement
Opt for loans that provide quick funding, ideally within one business day. Fast disbursement is crucial for handling urgent expenses like medical bills or car repairs.
Clear Terms
Ensure the loan terms are transparent with no hidden fees. Reputable lenders will clearly outline the APR, repayment schedule, and any associated costs, allowing you to make an informed decision.
By focusing on these features, you can secure a loan that fits your financial needs without falling into a cycle of debt.
How to Find Personal Loans for Bad Credit

Shou Xiaoli:
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Welcome to this press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO). Today, we are glad to have invited Mr. Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People’s Bank of China (PBC); Mr. Li Yunze, minister of the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA); and Mr. Wu Qing, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). They will brief you on the financial policy package to stabilize the market and expectations, and answer your questions.
Now, let’s give the floor to Mr. Pan for his introduction.
Pan Gongsheng:
Good morning. It’s a pleasure to meet with you all again. I would like to sincerely thank you all for your continued interest in and support for the reforms and developments in the financial sector, as well as the work of the PBC.
Since the beginning of this year, the PBC has earnestly implemented the guiding principles of the Central Economic Work Conference and the deployments of the Government Work Report. We have implemented a moderately loose monetary policy, strengthened counter-cyclical adjustments, comprehensively used various monetary policy tools, served the high-quality development of the real economy, and created a favorable monetary and financial environment for promoting the continuous recovery and improvement of the economy.
From the perspective of effectiveness, various macro-financial data has been relatively positive since the beginning of this year, and monetary credit has shown the operational characteristics of “increased quantity, decreased price and optimized structure.” At the end of the first quarter, the social financing scale increased by 8.4% year on year, and loans increased by 7.4% year on year. If adjusted to include the impact of local special-purpose bonds that replaced loans from local government financing platforms, the loan growth rate would exceed 8%. The M2, a broad measure of money supply, maintained stable growth of around 7%, significantly higher than the nominal economic growth rate. At the same time, the cost of social financing remained low, and the growth rates of inclusive loans to micro and small businesses, medium- and long-term loans to the manufacturing sector, and loans to sci-tech small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were all faster than the overall loan growth rate, further optimizing the credit structure.
From the perspective of the financial market, the performance in the first quarter was positive. The stock market operated generally smoothly, trading was relatively active, and the Shanghai Composite Index remained around 3,300 points. The bond market self-corrected, driven by improved economic confidence. The onshore and offshore RMB exchange rates against the U.S. dollar appreciated slightly by about 1% compared to the end of last year, and cross-border capital flows were relatively balanced.
Since April, despite facing relatively large external shocks, the domestic financial system has remained stable, and the financial market has shown strong resilience. After the Shanghai Composite Index fell on April 7, it quickly rebounded and stabilized. Currently, the 10-year government bond yield is hovering around 1.65%, and the RMB exchange rate against the U.S. dollar depreciated slightly before rebounding to around 7.2 yuan.
Currently, the global economy is full of uncertainties. Economic fragmentation and trade tensions are intensifying, disrupting global industrial and supply chains, causing turmoil in international financial markets, and weakening global economic growth momentum. Not long ago, I attended the Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, where central bank governors and heads of international financial organizations from various countries expressed deep concern about this. The PBC will conscientiously implement the central decisions and deployments, promote high-quality economic development, unswervingly advance high-standard opening up, actively participate in international financial governance and cooperation, and maintain a rules-based international economic and financial order. At the same time, we will coordinate financial opening and security, explore and enhance the central bank’s role of macro-prudential management and financial stability regime, and firmly maintain the stable operation of China’s foreign exchange, bond and stock markets.
On April 25, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting to analyze and study the current economic situation and economic work. In order to implement the guiding principles of the meeting and further implement a moderately loose monetary policy, the PBC will intensify macro regulation and introduce a package of monetary policy measures, mainly consisting of three major categories with a total of 10 specific measures.
The first category is quantitative policies, aimed at increasing medium- and long-term liquidity supply, through measures such as lowering the reserve requirement ratio, and maintaining ample market liquidity. The second category is price-based policies, which will lower policy rate, reduce the rates of structural monetary policy tools, such as the central bank’s relending rates to commercial banks, and lower interest rates on provident fund loans. The third category is structural policies, which will improve existing structural monetary policy tools and create new policy tools to support such areas as technological innovation, consumption expansion and inclusive finance.
These three major categories of measures include 10 specific policies:
First, we will lower the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by 0.5 percentage point, which is expected to provide about 1 trillion yuan in long-term liquidity to the market.
Second, we will improve the reserve requirement system by temporarily lowering the reserve requirement ratio for auto finance companies and financial leasing companies from the current 5% to 0%.
Third, we will lower the policy rate by 0.1 percentage point, specifically reducing the seven-day reverse repo rate in the open market from the current 1.5% to 1.4%. This adjustment is expected to lead to a corresponding decrease of approximately 0.1 percentage point in the loan prime rate (LPR).
Fourth, we will reduce the interest rates of structural monetary policy tools by 0.25 percentage point. This includes various special structural tools and relending rates for supporting agriculture and small businesses, all decreasing from the current 1.75% to 1.5%. These rates represent the cost at which the central bank provides relending funds to commercial banks. The interest rates on pledged supplementary lending (PSL) will be reduced from the current 2.25% to 2%. PSL is a tool through which the central bank provides funds to policy banks.
Fifth, we will lower the interest rates on personal housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage point, reducing the rate for first-time homebuyers with loan terms over five years from 2.85% to 2.6%, with rates for other terms adjusted accordingly.
Sixth, we will increase the relending quota for technological innovation and technological transformation by 300 billion yuan. This will raise the total from the current 500 billion yuan to 800 billion yuan. This relending tool is already in place, and the quota has now been increased by 300 billion yuan, bringing the total to 800 billion yuan. The tool will continue to support the “two new” policies, which refer to large-scale renewal of equipment and the trading-in of consumer goods.
Seventh, we will establish a 500 billion yuan relending facility dedicated to service consumption and elderly care. This measure aims to encourage commercial banks to increase credit support for these sectors.
Eighth, we will increase the relending quota for agricultural and small businesses by 300 billion yuan. This complements our relending rate reduction, helping banks expand lending to agricultural enterprises, small and micro businesses, and private enterprises.
Ninth, we will optimize the two monetary policy tools that support the capital market. We’re merging the 500 billion yuan swap facility for securities firms, funds, and insurance companies with the 300 billion yuan relending facility for stock repurchases and increased holdings, resulting in a total quota of 800 billion yuan.
Tenth, we will establish a risk-sharing tool for sci-tech innovation bonds. The central bank will provide low-cost relending funds that can be used to purchase these bonds. The central bank will collaborate with local governments and market-based credit enhancement institutions, utilizing diverse credit enhancement measures, such as joint guarantees, to share part of the default risk. This initiative aims to support the issuance of low-cost, long-term sci-tech innovation bonds for technology innovation enterprises and equity investment institutions.
These 10 specific policy measures across three major categories will be gradually disclosed on the PBC’s website and implemented. Next, the PBC will continue to earnestly implement the various deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, implement a moderately loose monetary policy, and continuously adjust monetary policy based on domestic and international economic and financial conditions, as well as the operation of financial markets. We will also strengthen coordination with fiscal policy to promote high-quality economic development. Thank you.

Washington – In a seismic victory for President Trump’s America First Agenda, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) today released the following statement on Senate and House Republicans’ efforts to reverse over a dozen of Joe Biden’s nonsensical regulations using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) – a legislative tool allowing Congress to strike down federal rules and regulations with a simple majority vote.
“While the Biden-Harris administration tried to suffocate our nation’s businesses and families with nonsensical regulation after regulation, Senate and House Republicans are tearing down these barriers to unleash American prosperity,” said Senator Marshall. “I am committed to continue working with my colleagues to ensure these CRAs allow us to boldly deliver on President Trump’s promises.”
Among the 13 burdensome Biden-Harris-era regulations that were targeted, Senate Republicans have slashed red tape to unleash American energy, end costly green new scam mandates, strengthen digital finance, and expand personal freedoms. These actions deliver on President Donald Trump’s America First agenda by reducing consumer costs, protecting privacy, and empowering businesses.

Chinese, Brazilian central banks sign MOU to enhance financial strategic cooperation
BEIJING, May 13 — The central banks of China and Brazil on Tuesday inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on financial strategic cooperation, according to the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).
The PBOC said that the signature of the MOU will facilitate cooperation between China and Brazil in areas such as investment environments, financial technical exchange, financial infrastructure, local currencies and payments.
The PBOC also renewed a bilateral currency swap agreement with the central bank of Brazil on the same day, with a total value of 190 billion yuan (about 26.39 billion dollars), or 157 billion reais. The agreement is valid for a period of five years and can be renewed upon mutual consent, it said.
Another MOU was signed by the PBOC and Brazil’s ministry of finance to promote cooperation between the two sides in areas such as financial markets, financing, and international financial and monetary policy coordination.
New data shows Millennials and Gen Z continue to be the driving force behind new business in Australia, as CommBank shows support for young entrepreneurs through its sponsorship of AFC Australian Fashion Week.
New CommBank research shows that Millennials and Gen Z business owners continue to drive Australian entrepreneurship, together accounting for 62 per cent of new business account openings in the last 12 months, with retail trade, personal and business services, and construction being the most popular sectors for these age groups.
CommBank data shows that Millennials alone made up 49 per cent of new businesses in the year to 31 March 2025, while Gen Z accounted for 13 per cent, Gen X for 27 per cent and Baby Boomers made up 10 per cent of new businesses.
Looking at Gen Z, retail trade is the second most popular sector for new businesses after construction, while Millennials favour property and business services before construction and retail.
While the age breakdown of new business transaction account openings has remained fairly steady since the pandemic, it is likely the Gen Z cohort will grow in the coming years as they get older, and other age groups focus on the growth stage of their business.
The research comes as CommBank announces its sponsorship of the Australian Fashion Council (AFC) Australian Fashion Week which kicked off in Sydney this week, championing young entrepreneurs, First Nations designers, and the Australian creative industry more broadly.
CommBank Small Business Banking Executive General Manager, Rebecca Warren, said the various headwinds businesses had encountered over recent years did not appear to be dissuading too many younger entrepreneurs.
“Gen Z and Millennials account for 72 per cent of all new businesses in retail trade, showing younger Australians are willing to pursue their passion despite the challenging environment this sector has faced and continues to tackle,” Ms Warren said.
“Australian small businesses have dealt with many challenges over the last few years, and their resilience has never been more evident than in the way they’ve been navigating the challenging market, the impacts of the election, tariffs and changes to rates.
“It is great to see the entrepreneurial spirit in Australia is very much alive, with under 45s continuing to lead on new business start-ups. We are proud to be supporting Australian small business owners achieve their goals, whether they’re just starting out, or growing their business.”
Recent data from CommBank’s Household Spending Insights Index^ also shows significant gains in Household Goods spending in the year to March were driven by online marketplace and department stores, followed by clothing and furniture stores.
This year the AFC Australian Fashion Week will have over 30 designers showcasing their collections, including Aje, Romance Was Born, ESSE, Farage, Lee Mathews, NICOL & FORD, and Carla Zampatti. CommBank will be the presenting partner of The Frontier, and First Nations shows Liandra, Ngali, and Joseph & James.
Kellie Hush, CEO AFC Australian Fashion Week presented by Shark Beauty, said:
“We are thrilled to have the Commonwealth Bank’s incredible support in 2025. CBA understands how important it is to nurture small and medium businesses in the early stages of growth. The business of fashion continues to be an exciting but challenging industry, which is why Australian Fashion Week must continue to grow and support the industry. AFC Australian Fashion Week 2025 will showcase a diverse, creative, and a distinctly Australian fashion spirit.
“The fashion industry is also a major employer of women in Australia, with 77 per cent of our industry being women. The figure makes fashion one of the few professional industries dominated by women, providing opportunity for them to flourish and finesse their specialisations.”

BEIJING, May 13 — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday announced the launch of five programs to advance shared development and revitalization with Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries.
The five programs, ranging from solidarity, development and civilization to peace and people-to-people connectivity, were announced by Xi when delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum in Beijing.
In 2015, Xi and LAC delegates attended the opening ceremony of the first ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, which marked the launch of the forum.
On Solidarity Program, Xi said China is willing to strengthen solidarity with LAC countries and continue to support each other on issues concerning their core interests and major concerns, to firmly safeguard the international system with the U.N. at its core and the international order underpinned by international law, and to speak with one voice in international and regional affairs.
In the next three years, China will invite 300 members from political parties of CELAC member states every year to visit China to facilitate exchanges on national governance best practices, Xi said.
On Development Program, China is willing to work with LAC countries to implement the Global Development Initiative, resolutely uphold the multilateral trading system, ensure stable, unimpeded global industrial and supply chains, and promote an international environment of openness and cooperation, Xi said.
Noting that the two sides should foster greater synergy between their development strategies and expand high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, Xi said China will import more quality products from LAC countries and encourage Chinese enterprises to expand their investment in the region.
On Civilization Program, Xi called for joint implementation of the Global Civilization Initiative. He said both sides should uphold the vision of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness between civilizations, champion humanity’s common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, and enhance China-LAC civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, including through a conference on China-LAC inter-civilizational dialogue.
On Peace Program, Xi called for joint implementation of the Global Security Initiative. He said both sides should cooperate more closely in disaster governance, cybersecurity, counterterrorism, anti-corruption, narcotics control and combating transnational organized crime so as to safeguard security and stability in the region.
On People-to-People Connectivity Program, Xi said in the next three years, China will provide CELAC member states with 3,500 government scholarships, 10,000 training opportunities in China, 500 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarships, 300 training opportunities for poverty reduction professionals, and 1,000 funded placements through the Chinese Bridge program, initiate 300 “small and beautiful” livelihood projects, and support CELAC member states in developing Chinese language education.
China has decided to offer a visa-free policy to five LAC countries, and will expand the policy to cover more regional countries in due course, Xi said.
Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, the CELAC rotating chair, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Chilean President Gabriel Boric, and Dilma Rousseff, president of the New Development Bank and former Brazilian president, addressed the event respectively.
Special representative of Yamandu Orsi, president of Uruguay, the incoming CELAC rotating chair, read out the president’s congratulatory letter.
Faced with a world full of uncertainties, LAC countries and China should work together to promote continuous new progress in building a community with a shared future, they said.
Both sides should respect each other and firmly support each other in safeguarding sovereignty and choosing their own development path, they said, calling for strengthening the synergy between the development strategies of LAC countries and the Belt and Road Initiative, and promoting cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure, agriculture, science and technology, new energy and education.
The two sides should also promote exchanges and dialogues among civilizations, safeguard the authority of the U.N., support multilateralism and free trade, and oppose unilateralism, protectionism, power politics and bullying to safeguard the common interests of the Global South, they added.

Would I accept it?” This powerful question resonated with 50 participants who attended a comprehensive training workshop organized by the African Development Bank on the application of the Integrated Safeguards System in Banjul, The Gambia, 5 – 9 May 2025.

The Indian stock markets declined on Tuesday as investors opted to book profits following a sharp rally in the previous session. Concerns over the progress of US-China trade talks also contributed to the cautious sentiment, pulling down the benchmark indices after their best performance in over four years.
The BSE Sensex closed 1,281.68 points, or 1.5 per cent, lower at 81,148.22. The NSE Nifty also slipped, ending the day at 24,578.35, down 346.35 points or 1.39 per cent. The correction came a day after markets soared nearly 4 per cent on easing geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan. Analysts noted that much of Monday’s gains were driven by short covering, leading to profit booking on Tuesday.
Despite the weakness in headline indices, broader market indices managed to hold firm. The BSE Midcap index edged up 0.17 per cent, while the BSE Smallcap index rose 0.99 per cent, suggesting some resilience in mid- and small-cap stocks.
Sectoral performance, however, was mixed. Major indices such as Nifty Auto, Financial Services, FMCG, and IT ended with losses of over 1 per cent. Other segments including Nifty Bank, Metal, Oil and Gas, Realty, and Consumer Durables also ended lower. In contrast, indices tracking PSU banks, media, pharma, and healthcare sectors posted gains, with the Nifty PSU Bank index rising as much as 1.66 per cent.
Among the Sensex constituents, Infosys was the top laggard, falling 3.57 per cent. Eternal, Power Grid, HCL Technologies and TCS also registered losses ranging between 2.88 per cent and 3.4 per cent. On the other hand, Sun Pharmaceutical, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, State Bank of India and Tech Mahindra closed with modest gains of up to 1 per cent.
Market volatility eased slightly, with the India VIX dipping 1.05 per cent to 18.20. Analysts noted that geopolitical uncertainties remained on investors’ radar, with the fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan keeping participants cautious.
“Geopolitical tensions remained in focus as market participants monitored the fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan, adding to the cautious sentiment,” said Sundar Kewat of Ashika Institutional Equity.
Ajit Mishra, SVP at Religare Broking Ltd, said the decline reflected a sense of caution despite stable global cues and easing regional tensions. “However, we expect the overall tone to remain positive, given the noticeable support in the 24,400–24,600 zone. The focus should remain on identifying key sectors and themes showing relative strength and using intermediate pauses to accumulate quality stocks,” he added.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), along with U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY), wrote to Ramon Laguarta, CEO of PepsiCo, Inc. (Pepsi) demanding an explanation for the company’s potentially illegal price discrimination against small and independent grocery stores. The lawmakers are the top Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrate State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust, respectively.
In recent months, Pepsi has faced legal action from convenience stores and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a government regulator responsible for enforcing federal consumer protection laws and antitrust laws. In January 2025, the FTC sued Pepsi, accusing it of violating the Robinson-Patman Act (RPA), which prohibits sellers from engaging in anticompetitive price discrimination. The FTC claimed that for years, Pepsi has disadvantaged retailers – including local convenience stores – by consistently giving benefits and advantages, such as promotional payments, to a big-box store, while denying those same benefits to the store’s competitors.
In February 2025, two small, family-owned convenience stores accused Pepsi and its subsidiary Frito-Lay of violating the RPA, claiming the corporation charged independent retailers more “for identical bags of snack chips” compared to what it charged chain stores. The plaintiffs claimed they were charged as much as 50 percent more for those goods, and that the “discriminatory pricing” forced them to pass on the higher costs to consumers.
“The Robinson-Patman Act is an important tool for the FTC to combat illegal price discrimination and concentration, and to provide a level playing field to all businesses…Charging discriminatory, high prices to smaller, independent retailers harms those retailers’ ability to compete, and often forces consumers to endure unfair price increases,” wrote the lawmakers.
The RPA forbids sellers from charging competing buyers different prices for the same goods when the price discrimination may lessen or harm competition. The law also prohibits special promotional payments, discounts, rebates, allowances, or services to one buyer unless they are made available to all competing buyers.
“As food prices remain sky-high, the FTC should continue to enforce the RPA to promote fair competition in the food industry,” urged the lawmakers.
The bicameral coalition asked Pepsi to explain, by May 25, 2025, its pricing strategies, any discrepancies between what it charges chain retailers and small, independent retailers, how these price discrepancies affect shopping options for consumers, and the company’s lobbying efforts to refute price discrimination allegations.

TOKYO, Japan, May 13, 2025 – Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO; Chairman and CEO: ISHIGURO Norihiko; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) (www.JETRO.go.jp) is pleased to announce that it will host the TICAD Business Expo & Conference from 20 to 22 August 2025, as one of the Thematic Events of the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9).
Download Exhibitor List: https://apo-opa.co/3F6KiAM
TICAD9 will be held in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture from 20 to 22 August 2025, led by the Government of Japan and co-hosted by United Nations, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), African Union Commission (AUC) and World Bank. In conjunction with TICAD9, JETRO has planned the TICAD Business Expo & Conference as a new style of business events that brings together diverse exhibits and opportunities for interaction. In order to support the proactive initiatives of Japanese companies to grasp expanding business opportunities in the African market, JETRO has updated its event model from a conventional exhibition to provide a more practical venue for business exchanges.
Japan Fair aims to create new business opportunities in the African market by introducing excellent products, technologies, and the services of Japanese companies to government officials and business leaders visiting Japan from African countries. The exhibition is comprised of eight thematic zones, based on the African Union’s Agenda 2063, including “Infrastructure,” “Health and Sanitation Improvement,” and “Food Value Chain.” A totally new addition for TICAD9 will be a “Pop Culture” zone.
Africa Lounge will feature the presentation of investment and business information from African governments for Japanese businesspeople interested in doing business in Africa.
The Event Stage will feature seminars based on business themes and thematic panel discussions by Japanese companies. JETRO is also planning panel discussions that bring together key persons from the African business community, as well as other pop culture and innovation-themed events.
At the Thematic Exhibitions JETRO will be showcasing the two themes of “Pop Culture” and “Innovation.” The Pop Culture exhibition will highlight the potential for business development utilising content originating from Japan, and the Innovation exhibition will introduce groundbreaking ideas and technology that promise to open up a new future for Africa and Japan.
In addition to the record number of exhibiting companies and organisations at Japan Fair, the TICAD Business Expo & Conference will incorporate new approaches to exhibitions and planning, including pop culture and innovation, seeking to invigorate business exchanges with Africa in new and unprecedented ways. The event will bring together diverse stakeholders from Japan and Africa and is expected to create new partnerships and business matching opportunities.
JETRO will use this event as an opportunity to continue to support Japanese companies in raising their visibility and expanding their businesses in the African market.

RBNZ stats alert: 14 May 2025 – Kia ora koutou, On 21 May 2025 we will be launching the Tara-ā-Umanga Business Expectations Survey (BES), publishing results for the June quarter. Publication will be in advance of the 28 May Monetary Policy Statement, in line with the timing of our other expectations surveys.
We would like to thank all the businesses that have made the development and launch of the new Tara-ā-Umanga Business Expectations Survey possible and enabled us to build a representative sample survey of New Zealand businesses.
This new survey includes several hundred businesses from different sectors around the country, from small to large firms. It is separate from the existing Survey of Expectations focusing on expert forecasters and economists, and industry leaders (Table M14, from 1987 onwards), which will continue.
Business Expectations Survey publication on 21 May, after 3pm
The launch of BES marks the beginning of the regular quarterly publication of the survey and the conclusion of a successful development phase that involved public consultation and pilots to build the sample and test content and methodology. The launch will feature a new web table with population estimates of economy-wide expectations:
M15 Business Expectations Survey
The sample size and design enable new breakdowns by business size and industry, which will be published in the data file accompanying Table M15. The initial publication will include our Stats Insight, a background note as a guide to interpret the new survey results, and a description of our survey methodology.
It should be noted that while this survey represents a significant uplift in our expectations data, more observations are needed (beyond the short historical timeseries that will be available at launch) to enable us to estimate the relationship between these data and ultimate inflation outcomes. We anticipate that the results of this survey will become key statistical series used by central banks, researchers, financial institutions and commentators.
Background information
Inflation expectations are important because households and businesses reflect their expectations in their price- and wage-setting decisions. Improving the quality of our expectation surveys is part of the wider response to our 2022 review of how we formulate and implement our monetary policy. In this review, we identified several areas where better data could support high quality monetary policy decision-making.

Additional wholesale interest rate data now being published
From 12 May 2025, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua began publishing two new daily series on Table B2, making more data available on wholesale interest rates that apply to large institutions in New Zealand markets.
The new daily series on Table B2 are:
Overnight Deposit Rate: the rate of remuneration ESAS account holders receive for funds that are held overnight in their account at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua. For further information please see: What is ESAS
Overnight Reverse Repo Rate: the rate that is charged to borrow funds lent overnight via the Reserve Bank’s Overnight Reverse Repo Facility (ORRF). For further information on the key standing facilities provided to market participants, including the ORRF, please see: Facilities at a glance – Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua
This data will add to the wide range of information that is available to support the analysis of the New Zealand financial system and understanding the transmission of monetary policy through wholesale interest rates quoted in New Zealand markets.

Headline: STATEMENT: CanREA eager to work with new federal Cabinet to advance wind energy, solar energy and energy storage
CanREA ready to help Canada’s newly appointed Ministers deliver on key election promises that will advance clean-energy initiatives nationwide.
Ottawa, Ontario, May 13, 2025—The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) congratulates Canada’s new federal Cabinet Ministers and Secretaries of State on their appointment to Cabinet. The Ministers were sworn in today by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M, C.D., Governor General of Canada.
CanREA looks forward to supporting their delivery of an ambitious agenda for the clean-energy industry, helping Canada meet its economic and environmental goals.
Specifically, CanREA would like to congratulate:
The Hon. François-Philippe Champagne P.C. M.P., Minister of Finance and National Revenue
The Hon. Dominic LeBlanc P.C., M.P., President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister Responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy
The Hon. Shafqat Ali P.C. M.P., President of the Treasury Board
The Hon. Tim Hodgson P.C. M.P., Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
The Hon. Julie Dabrusin P.C. M.P., Minister of Environment and Climate Change
The Hon. Mélanie Joly, P.C., M.P., Minister of Industry
The Hon. Rebecca Ally P.C., M.P. Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations
The Hon. Mandy Gull-Masty P.C., M.P., Minister of Indigenous Services
“Over the past number of years, the CanREA team has developed a strong working relationship with the federal government,” said Vittoria Bellissimo, CanREA’s President and CEO. “My team and I are committed to advancing wind, solar and energy storage and we will work closely with Canada’s newly appointed ministers to shape and support federal policies that will be essential to our industry as we plan, finance and build clean-energy projects that benefit Canadians.”
During the recent election campaign, the Liberal Party committed to a suite of proposals that support the rapid deployment of clean energy, as described in this recent CanREA statement. These policies include:
Finalizing the Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits (ITCs), policies that have already galvanized private sector investment in Canada’s renewable energy and energy storage industry. Getting the remaining ITCs passed into law, particularly the Clean Electricity ITC, will secure Canada’s position as a competitive and safe place for the private sector to invest. These will also help lower the cost of electricity to Canadian ratepayers.
Reducing the barriers to accessing capital faced by Indigenous companies and communities, by expanding the kinds of projects the Canada Infrastructure Bank can support to be more in line with First Nation, Inuit and Métis priorities. The Liberals also committed to exploring options for an Indigenous Infrastructure Bank to further address this gap.
Offering support for Canadians entering the trades, while also helping to reduce barriers that these skilled workers face when working in another province.
Creating a new First and Last Mile Fund that will move more electricity and goods from where they are produced to where they are needed, creating a more integrated and accessible Canadian economy.
Signing new Cooperation and Substitution Agreements with all willing provinces, territories and Indigenous Governing Bodies within six months, ensuring that projects go through only one review that upholds environmental standards and Indigenous consultation.
Cementing the signal for electrification by maintaining the industrial carbon price. During his leadership campaign, Mr. Carney even promised to set a pricing schedule out to 2035—this would be a strong signal upon which Canada’s renewable energy and energy storage industry could rely.
Across the country, more than 18,000 MW of clean-energy procurements, representing more than $34 B, are being planned or currently taking place, all of which will benefit from these federal policies.
“The federal ITCs, along with increased Indigenous access to capital and new interprovincial interconnections, will allow Canada to maintain its competitive edge in the global race for renewable energy and energy storage investment,” said Fernando Melo, CanREA’s Federal Director of Policy and Government Affairs.
“Putting these in place will be no small feat, but CanREA is committed to collaborating with the federal government to get these groundbreaking policies across the finish line.”

Information on Global Gateway and its flagship projects is available on the European Commission’s website[1], which also provides links to approved action documents. EU Delegations also regularly facilitate dialogue with civil society and the private sector in partner countries, sharing information on EU investments. The European Parliament is kept informed both through its observer role on the Global Gateway Board and its participation in the strategic board for the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), main Commission tool for mobilising investments.
As regards the selection of Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act[2], the evaluation is conducted by external experts with professional expertise in the technical, financial, environmental, social and governance dimensions. In line with Article 7 of the CRM Act, the proposed list of Strategic Projects is then presented for the opinion of the CRM Board chaired by the Commission and composed of Member States, with the European Parliament as an observer. The final list is then adopted by a Commission Decision.
The contribution of EUR 900 million in a Team Europe approach (EU, Member States, European Investment Bank) for Global Gateway projects was announced in a communiqué from the President of the Commission on 18 December 2023[3]. The funding will support four Global Gateway Initiatives on green deal, connectivity, health and education[4]. They won’t be directly or indirectly linked to the mining sector as they target inclusive and sustainable agricultural transformation, youth led innovation and green investment in Rwandan cities, vaccines, medicines and health technologies, and early childhood services.

SARASOTA – U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) today released the latest installment of the Veterans History Project Series, featuring Musician Third Class Dennis White, United States Navy. A lifelong musician and the recipient of the John Philip Sousa Award at his high school in Springfield, Ohio, White’s journey to military service was rooted in a passion for music and a determination to serve his country.
White served at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and performed across New York City, including a national television appearance on a Saturday night version of The Tonight Show. He also played during Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to New York and attended the Broadway premiere of South Pacific. Through these once-in-a-lifetime experiences, he developed lifelong friendships and a deep appreciation for the discipline and direction instilled by military service.
“Well, basically, I’d like people to understand this: there are people who are afraid to take a challenge. And if you’re enthusiastic about something, follow your dream and follow your own guidelines; that will make you a better person. It really did change my personality, my attitude, and my character,” said White. “I don’t know where I would’ve been if I hadn’t joined the music program or even the Navy. It led to opportunities. Like I said, I didn’t give it up. I counted it as a hobby. But it gave me direction into adulthood and just made me a better person all around, I think.”
“Dennis White’s story exemplifies the unique paths our servicemembers take,” said Congressman Steube. “His service reminds us that the military doesn’t just train warriors; it molds leaders, artists, and professionals. We are honored to help preserve his legacy for future generations.”
After leaving the Navy in 1959, White went on to a successful career in banking, ultimately serving as Vice President at Ellis Bank in Sarasota. He remained involved with the Navy music community, raised a family in Florida, and continued mentoring young musicians throughout his life.

Be sure to check Congressman Steube’s YouTube channel in the future for upcoming interviews.The Office of Congressman Greg Steube will submit the interview to the Veterans History Project, an initiative of the Library of Congress’s American Folklife Center to collect and retain the oral histories of our nation’s veterans.Initially started in 2000, the Veterans History Project aims to collect, preserve, and make accessible the personal accounts of the United States military veterans and Gold Star Families so that future generations may hear directly from the veterans and better understand their service. Researchers, scholars, and educators rely upon VHP collections as a primary source. The oral histories, photographs, manuscripts, and other original materials supplement historical texts and valued cultural resources. Veterans from all branches and ranks of the United States military who served in World War I through the more recent conflicts are eligible to participate.

The Co-operative Bank has topped the rankings for customer satisfaction, while ANZ finished at the bottom, according to Consumer NZ’s latest independent survey of New Zealand banking customers.
The Co-operative Bank has taken out the top spot in Consumer’s latest banking satisfaction survey, earning a customer satisfaction score of 77%.
At the other end of the scale, ANZ – the country’s largest bank – scored just 57%. The average satisfaction score across all banks was 64%.
“This is the fourth year in a row that The Co-operative Bank has won our People’s Choice award,” says Jon Duffy, CEO of Consumer NZ.
“It’s an impressive result, especially considering its market share – less than 1%.
“Bigger is not necessarily better. ANZ is New Zealand’s most profitable bank, with the biggest market share, but when it comes to customer satisfaction, it finished bottom of our survey.
Consumer’s annual independent survey measures customer satisfaction across 17 areas, including trust, value for money, digital banking, and customer service.
Don’t bank on the big banks
Duffy notes this year’s survey results come amid persistent concerns about the state of competition in New Zealand’s banking sector and the ever-present threat of scams.
Our survey also found that more than 1 in 5 New Zealanders have fallen victim to a scam that has involved their bank account or a financial service.
While some progress has been made by banks to address scams – following pressure from central government and advocates for banks to increase efforts to protect customers – New Zealand still lags behind other countries when it comes to banking technology.
“The pace of innovation in the sector has been glacial. Technologies like comprehensive open banking and real-time payments that could save consumers money and keep us safe are still on the ‘to do’ list for banks,” says Duffy.
”Our research also shows fewer than 3% of New Zealanders switch banks each year – one of the lowest switching rates of any service sector we monitor.
“Low switching rates and low satisfaction scores – particularly among banks with the biggest customer bases – is never a good sign for consumers. Banks are yet to deliver improvements to their switching services, as recommended by the Commerce Commission’s market study to improve competition in the sector.
“This is why we publish our annual satisfaction surveys. We strongly encourage people to do their homework and switch to a bank with higher customer satisfaction. It’s easier than you might think and a powerful way to foster competition so that we can collectively raise the bar,” says Duffy.
Key findings from Consumer’s 2025 banking satisfaction survey
The Co-operative Bank achieved the highest overall satisfaction score (77%) delivering consistent, above-average experiences across the board, particularly around digital banking, savings interest rates, and advice
ANZ scored the lowest customer satisfaction rating (57%), with particularly low scores for interest on savings, fees, responsible lending, advice and overall value for money
Consumer says the 20-point gap between the survey’s top and bottom performers highlights just how much customer experience can differ between banks. The full survey results (paywalled) and methodology are available on Consumer’s website: Best and worst banks in 2025. https://consumernz.cmail20.com/t/i-l-fhdtre-ijjdkdttjk-j/
Notes
Our data is from a nationally representative survey of 1,920 New Zealanders, aged 18 years and older, conducted online in February 2025
Ratings cover satisfaction across 17 key service areas. Satisfaction ratings show the proportion of respondents who scored their provider 8, 9 or 10 on a scale from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (very satisfied).
Market share is based on the latest figures from the Banking Ombudsman Scheme Dashboard.
Annual profit before tax figures are from each bank’s latest financial disclosures.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is participating in the World Circular Economy Forum 2025 (WCEF 2025) from 13-16 May 2025 in São Paulo, Brazil, and online around the globe. The annual WCEF, an initiative of Finland and the Finnish Innovation Fund (Sitra), is one of the world’s leading events on the circular economy, which aims to make production and consumption more sustainable by extending the life cycle of resources, materials and goods.
The WCEF provides a platform for sharing knowledge and expertise, building networks and advancing the transition to a circular economy. This year’s edition will shed light on the bottlenecks to sustainable growth and the root causes that urgently require circular solutions.
The EIB, one of the biggest multilateral providers of climate and environment finance, will present to conference participants its array of financing and advisory products to develop and support the circular economy. The EIB will also discuss the role of the circular economy in securing the supply of strategic materials and the benefits of pursuing projects across entire value chains.
“We are stepping up our support for the circular economy in line with the European Union’s objectives that put circularity at the core of our decarbonisation strategy,” said EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle. “In the past five years, we provided more than €5 billion to co-finance 153 circular economy projects in a variety of sectors. Circularity is key to conserve limited and strategic materials, enhance resilience and competitiveness and reduce our impact on the climate and the environment.”
EIB lending to circular economy projects has consistently increased over the years, amounting to €5.1 billion in 2020-2024, with a record level of €1.4 billion last year alone. Recently financed projects include a €17 million loan to Europe’s largest iPhone refurbisher Swappie, venture debt financing of €25 million to Fairmat, a French company pioneering the recycling of carbon fibre composite materials, and a €75 million loan to improve solid waste management in Benin.
Earlier this year, the EIB’s Board of Directors also approved an action plan to step up support for critical raw materials (CRM) with the aim of doubling annual financing for such projects – including circular solutions – to €2 billion. The plan also includes a new CRM Task Force and a dedicated one-stop shop to build and manage a pipeline of CRM operations and advisory activities and increased technical expertise and partnerships
Join the EIB at WCEF 202
Vice-President Fayolle is leading the EIB’s participation, starting with a panel at the opening plenary on 13 May. In total, EIB experts will take part in more than 10 sessions. The full list of sessions with EIB speakers is available here.
People on site can meet staff of the EIB at its stand at the OCA in the Ibirapuera park in São Paulo on 13-14 May.

Background information
EIB
The European Investment Bank (ElB) is the long-term lending institution of the European Union, owned by its Member States. Built around eight core priorities, we finance investments that contribute to EU policy objectives by bolstering climate action and the environment, digitalisation and technological innovation, security and defence, cohesion, agriculture and bioeconomy, social infrastructure, high-impact investments outside the European Union, and the capital markets union.
The EIB Group, which also includes the European Investment Fund (EIF), signed nearly €89 billion in new financing for over 900 high-impact projects in 2024, boosting Europe’s competitiveness and security.
All projects financed by the EIB Group are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement, as pledged in our Climate Bank Roadmap. Almost 60% of the EIB Group’s annual financing supports projects directly contributing to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and a healthier environment.
Fostering market integration and mobilising investment, the Group supported a record of over €100 billion in new investment for Europe’s energy security in 2024 and mobilised €110 billion in growth capital for startups, scale-ups and European pioneers. Approximately half of the EIB’s financing within the European Union is directed towards cohesion regions, where per capita income is lower than the EU average.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (“Alaris” or the “Trust”) (TSX: AD.UN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) led by National Bank Financial, CIBC Capital Markets and Desjardins Capital Markets, and including Acumen Capital Partners, Raymond James Ltd., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, and Cormark Securities Inc. pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured senior debentures due June 30, 2030 (the “Debentures”) at a price of $1,000 per Debenture (the “Offering”). The Trust has also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $11.25 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures, on the same terms and conditions, exercisable in whole or in part, up to 30 days following closing of the Offering. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 2, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). Unless otherwise stated, all numbers in this press release are presented in Canadian dollars.
The Trust intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to partially repay outstanding indebtedness under Alaris’ subsidiary’s senior debt facility (the “Senior Debt Facility”) which may be subsequently redrawn and used to fund future investments in new Partner (as defined below) investments or general trust purposes.
The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on the last business day of June and December of each year commencing on December 31, 2025. The first payment will include accrued and unpaid interest for the period from the Closing Date to, but excluding, December 31, 2025. The Debentures will mature on June 30, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”).
The Debentures will be direct senior unsecured obligations of the Trust and will rank subordinate to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness of the Trust and any of its subsidiaries, including pursuant to the Senior Debt Facility, and pari passu with each debenture issued under the debenture indenture governing the Debentures (the “Trust Indenture”) and with all other present and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Trust, including the Trust’s senior unsecured debentures due March 31, 2027, as further detailed in the Trust Indenture. The payment of principal and premium, if any, of, and interest on, the Debentures will be subordinated in right of payment to all senior secured indebtedness. The Trust Indenture will not restrict the Trust or its subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness or from mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure any indebtedness or liabilities. None of the Trust’s subsidiaries will guarantee the Debentures.
The Debentures will be convertible at the holder’s option into units of the Trust (“Units”) at any time prior to the earlier of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding: (i) the Maturity Date June 30, 2030; and (ii) and if called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures at a conversion price of $24.85 per Units, being a ratio of 40.2414 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Debentures are not redeemable by Alaris before June 30, 2028. On and after June 30, 2028 and prior to June 30, 2029, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of Alaris at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which the notice of the redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after June 30, 2029, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at the option of Alaris at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest regardless of the trading price of the Units.
A preliminary short form prospectus will be filed with securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of Canada, other than the province of Québec. The Offering is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
