British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation Monday after less than two years in office. Starmer is the sixth Prime Minister to resign in the decade since the Brexit vote, raising major questions about where the country’s fractured political system goes from here.
On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg Executive Editor Edward Evans joins guest host Wendy Benjaminson from London to discuss the turmoil at 10 Downing Street. They explore what led to Starmer’s resignation, how soon the man poised to replace him, Labour Party frontrunner Andy Burnham, could call a general election and how the UK’s other political parties might take advantage of the power vacuum.

As power grids become more digital and interconnected, they are also becoming more exposed. Utilities are facing a growing mix of physical and cyber threats, from attacks on substations to increasingly sophisticated efforts to infiltrate the systems used to monitor and operate the grid. Smart meters, distributed energy resources and connected devices are creating new vulnerabilities, while AI has the potential to both strengthen defenses and lower the barrier to more complex attacks. Yet security spending remains difficult to prioritize, forcing utilities and regulators to weigh uncertain risks against other pressing investment needs. So how should the power sector think about grid security, and what does resilience look like in an increasingly connected energy system? On today’s show, Tom Rowlands-Rees is joined by Hayley Lai, an analyst from BNEF’s grids team, to discuss findings from her note “Physical and Cyber Threats Reshape US Grid Investment.”
Complementary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEFGO on the Bloomberg Terminal or on bnef.com (https://www.bnef.com/)

Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve chairman proclaimed a wizard for guiding a then-record US economic expansion, only to see his luster dimmed by the financial crisis that erupted less than two years after he stepped down, has died. He was 100.

He died on Monday at his home in Washington, according to a statement by his wife, Andrea Mitchell, chief Washington correspondent for NBC News. The cause was complications of Parkinson’s disease.

Greenspan’s 18 years as Fed chief, from 1987 until his retirement at the start of 2006, were marked by a stock market boom and low unemployment. More so than the four presidents he served under or the seven Treasury secretaries he worked alongside, Greenspan was seen as the maestro who kept the economy humming.

In a statement on Monday, the Fed said, “Chairman Greenspan’s legacy endures at the Federal Reserve — in those he mentored directly, in the economists and public servants he inspired, and in the frameworks and practices he helped shape.”

On this episode, Carol Massar Tim Stenovec speak with:
Betsy Duke, Former Federal Reserve Governor, Former Wells Fargo Chair, Former American Bankers Association Chair on Alan Greenspan legacy
Jim Caron, Portfolio Solutions Group CIO at Morgan Stanley Investment Management on Fed, Greenspan, US vs ROW equities, rates, credit, macro and 2H outlook

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
The US issued a 60-day license allowing Iran to sell oil on the international market, giving Tehran an economic lifeline as the two adversaries continued talks for a permanent peace deal. Vice President JD Vance, attending the discussions in Switzerland, described the first round of negotiations as "very, very good" and said Iran had agreed to allow nuclear inspectors back into the country — a claim later backed up by President Donald Trump. But Iranian officials, who also cited progress, challenged that claim, saying Vance's assertion was "false and does not reflect reality." For a closer look at what is going on in the oil market, we speak to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader.
Plus - The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions, often known as "Summer Davos", will be held this week in the Chinese port city of Dalian. This year's theme is "Innovating at Scale" and will bring together global leaders from government, business and academia, along with innovators and representatives from international organizations, media and civil society. Bloomberg's Stephen Engle sits down with Andre Hoffmann, World Economic Forum Co-Chair.
