Global Business Intelligence – March / April 2023
“As long as interest rates continue to climb by central banks (ECB, fed, bank of England/Japan, etc) expect more bank failures in 2023.

Closing the year 2022 with some articles I found interesting to read and sharing some personal thoughts and opinion. Have a great 2023!
