About this listen

Welcome to the GCV Weekly Briefing podcast, where we break down the key financial and economic developments shaping the landscape for investors, businesses, and policymakers.


I’m Matthew, and in this episode, we’re unpacking four major stories.


We’ll look at a sharp rise in UK household savings, a rebound in the mortgage market, and how the IMF’s latest growth outlook reflects both global optimism and rising trade concerns. Finally, we’ll head to the US, where Q2 GDP surprised to the upside, but with some warning signs under the surface.


Plenty to dig into this week.
