Q&A
00:22 How is ING doing?
01:22 What is your perspective on what is happening in Europe right now? Which direction do you think things are going?
02:43 Now that the recession is coming down a little, how does this translate in the formation of deals from your viewpoint?
03:44 Are we going to see an opening in capital markets in Europe, which has been lacking in the past decades relative to the US?
04:58 In the past years, we've seen this rush into money market funds among US consumers. Do you see similar trends in Europe? Are you having discussions based on this?
05:45 Where are you seeing the most strength coming from in Europe? What are some of the countries that are driving market growth?
06:43 Has there been discussion about having partnership with some of the private capital companies here in the US?

Key takeaways for business leaders:

• Remain vigilant – While recession risks have eased, we’re still in a delicate phase where market sentiment and capital allocation decisions can tip the scales.

• Drive investment – Both public and private sector players must continue to invest in innovation, infrastructure, and digital transformation to lock in gains.

• Strategic collaboration – Cross-border and industry partnerships can accelerate Europe’s financial resilience and spark new growth dynamics.
