Private Credit Jitters Unsettle an Otherwise Solid Quarter

Hi it’s Jackie and Laura again! We’re back for the second edition of the Women, Money & Power Report. As we mentioned last month, we’re reaching out to those who joined us in London at the Women, Money & Power conference, participated in Bloomberg’s New Voices initiative or simply are part of the expanding global network of leaders transforming the financial landscape. This is our way of staying connected with you. This monthly newsletter, put together by two global news executives who have a combined 61 years of experience at Bloomberg, is dedicated to elevating the perspectives of women leaders and experts shaping global finance, driving decisions on capital allocation and advancing the conversation across the industry. Sign up here if you’re not already on the list.

Now, it’s been a whirlwind few weeks since our debut: Japan swore in its first female prime minister and its first female finance minister. The finance chief is already laying out a packed agenda – from nudging households toward retirement investing to cracking down on financial crime. As for the PM? Her opening signals skew consumer-first, easing the cost-of-living squeeze. Early days.
