McKinsey Predicts Shortage of Minerals and Metals by 2030 Due to Energy Transition
McKinsey & Company's study indicates that the transition to a carbon-neutral economy will increase demand for new and greater quantities of materials, potentially leading to a scarcity of minerals and metals by 2030. Electric vehicles, for example, are heavier than internal combustion engine vehicles, which will drive up material demand. The study highlights three main findings: the crucial role of raw materials in the energy transition, the risk of shortages even with current decarbonization trajectories, and the high concentration of mineral and metal supply in a few countries. To ensure a smooth transition, McKinsey suggests accelerating announced projects, increasing investments in mining, refining, and smelting, expanding the skilled workforce, and adding significant energy capacity. Downstream industries need to adjust demand patterns, and innovation in material technologies and circular solutions is essential. Governments and companies must understand global material distribution dynamics and long-term scenarios to mitigate risks and seize opportunities.

Can Saudi Arabia’s Young Prince Wean the Welfare State?
Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is spearheading Vision 2030, a comprehensive plan to diversify the economy away from oil dependency and reduce public sector wages. The plan includes privatizing a portion of Saudi Aramco, improving bureaucratic efficiency, and boosting transparency. Despite initial setbacks, such as the unpopular salary cuts for public employees, the government is adjusting its approach to ensure public support. The reforms aim to create a more sustainable economic model while maintaining social stability, though the success of these efforts will depend on the government's ability to deliver tangible benefits and manage public expectations.

Open banking for credit inclusion: the story of Abound
Open banking can enhance financial inclusion and credit access by allowing banks to better assess a customer's ability to repay loans through transaction data. Gerald Chapell, CEO and co-founder of the British fintech Abound, argues that traditional credit scoring is outdated and often inaccurate on an individual level. Abound uses transaction data to offer fairer credit decisions and better interest rates, having already issued £200 million in loans with a significantly lower default rate. The company aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of this model to banks and believes regulatory pressure will drive broader adoption of open banking for credit decisions.

It could take three years for US economy to recover from Covid-19
The US and Eurozone economies may take until 2023 to recover from the COVID-19 crisis, according to McKinsey & Company. If initial public health measures are only partially effective, the global economy could recover by Q3 2022, with the US and Europe following in early and late 2023, respectively. A stronger response could see recovery by late 2020 or early 2021. The US economic impact could surpass post-WWII levels, with industries like aerospace, travel, and insurance facing slower recovery. Disrupted supply chains and reduced consumer demand will further challenge business leaders.

UK inflation has decreased to 3.4% in February, the lowest in two and a half years, prompting Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to hint at possible tax cuts. The Office for National Statistics reported the decline, which was driven by lower food prices and costs in restaurants and cafes.
