France finally warms up to the Dutch in economic security push

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:49:12 GMT

France and the Netherlands suddenly have a lot in common as Europe’s economic security trumps older frictions ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Amsterdam and The Hague this week. Macron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte plan to announce several pacts to work together on semiconductors, quantum computing and nuclear energy as well as a so-called “pact for innovation and sustainable growth” endorsed by business organizations from both countries. But the Elysée also sees the trip as showing it’s on the same page as the Dutch on championing European industry and being aware of security risks, including export controls of sensitive technology to China.“Our vision of things has become less of a caricature. It’s not about The Hague being very open [trade-wise] and frugal and Paris being essentially solitary and protectionist. Things are more complex than that,” said an Elysée official who was not authorized to be identified when speak...

Swiss lawmakers pick apart Credit Suisse woes ahead of deal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:49:12 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — Switzerland’s parliament is opening a special session Tuesday to scrutinize the state-imposed takeover of Swiss bank Credit Suisse by rival UBS — and possibly considering strengthening the legal arsenal to better gird against financial blowups.The debate could run up to three days, with expectations that lawmakers will voice — and need to iron out — disagreements over the 3 billion Swiss franc ($3.25 billion) fusion of the country’s top two banks, a thunderclap for a country that prides itself on finesse and acumen in finance. Swiss authorities stepped in as shares of Credit Suisse and other banks plunged last month after the failure of two U.S. banks sparked concerns about other potentially shaky institutions in the global financial system. Credit Suisse is among 30 financial institutions known as globally systemically important banks, and authorities worried about the fallout if it were to fail.Lawmakers were expected to raise concerns about thousands of expect...
